LACo Board OKs Local Emergency Proclamation Due to Immigration Raids
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in response to ongoing federal immigration enforcement raids.
The raids are alleged to be preventing people from going to work and forcing some businesses to close. Car washes are now hiring as workers are reluctant to seek jobs at locations targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
- 13 people were arrested by ICE agents at the Home Depot in Woodland Hills on Victory Boulevard at 10:40 a.m.
- ICE agents also targeted the Home Depot on Foothill and Arroyo in the City of San Fernando.
