Los Angeles Wave News - L.A. community leaders warn Leimert Park may be next as ICE raids target Latino immigrants
LEIMERT PARK – As more Latino residents in the Los Angeles area are rounded up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, concern is mounting for the city’s immigrants from African, Asian and Caribbean countries.
“When they come for one of us, they’re coming for all of us,” said Capri Maddox, executive director of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Department.
Maddox joined at least 15 community organizations on June 11 in Leimert Park for a press conference to express support and offer services to families affected by recent raids conducted by ICE.
