ICE raids in Los Angeles are a declaration of war ICE sent the city a message when its agents showed up in full force, and that message was responded to in kind by the people of Los Angeles

Every immigration raid is a tragedy in slow motion, ripping out the bedrock of a place & plundering the community. ICE raids in Los Angeles are a declaration of war, & Angelenos are primed for battle, ‪@tinavasquez.bsky.social‬ writes in an op-ed.
