According to the famous Immigrant Rights Group, the surroundings for federal immigration raids federal agents were largely.
A heat map developed by the coalition of humane immigrant documents 471 Immigration action reported in the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network from 6 June. Until July 20 In La County.
“These are just the messages we could check through our respondents,” said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, Chirla Communication Director. “This does not mean that this is the only number of incidents in that area.”
Cabrera suspects Chirla caught a third of the execution activities that took place throughout the county.
During the same period, Chirla says she received 1,677 calls throughout the region to carry out enforcement activities that she could not approve. 1,500 of these reports involving armed agents and 389 reports mentioned by witnesses by accidental arrests of community members.
Here are areas with the most enforcement actions reported by Chirla:
-
San Fernando Valley (Panorama City): 22
-
Silver Lake-Echo Park: 15 Action
-
Vernon-South Los Angeles: 8 actions
-
Pico-Nion-Downtown Los Angeles: 8
-
Little Tokyo Downtown Los Angeles: 7 actions
Of the five postal codes with the highest number of immigration, 76% of the population was Latino, according to Chirla analysis.
The Panorama City was reported about the twenty-two enforcement actions, the largest of each post-analyzed postal code. Its population is 42% of Latino and 38.2% immigrants.
“This map shows the obvious racial profiling of Trump’s administration,” the Angelica islands said in a press release. “The areas where colored people living and working are also racially profiled and directed. This military federal immigration operation was a surgical attack to provoke panic and confusion and run terror in our surroundings.”
The ICE and the Homeland Security Department did not respond to The Times to comment. In the past, the agency retreated from racial profiling claims.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin wrote in her report that all such allegations are “creepy and categorically false.” She also said, “This type of smear is designed to demonize and make mistakes in our brave ice law enforcement.”
Chirla analysis is not a complete accounting for raids performed in Los Angeles. DHS did not release the number of actions or places of the enforcement. She reported that since the operation began in June. By the beginning of July, the ICE and the border patrol arrested 2,792 illegal foreigners in the LA district.
“The map shows that they did not visit the wealthy, white neighborhoods,” Cabrera said. “They went where they could randomly pick up colored people.”
This report is too concerned about the Trump’s administration’s racial profiling in accordance with its immigration policy.
The Times report shows that LA residents, especially Latin skin, expressed fear of ice agents’ targets, and even American citizens were removed in raids.
Chirla was one of the groups that on July 2. Filed a lawsuit for DHS, claiming that its arrests and detention in LA and the surrounding counties were illegal and racial.
“Persons who stopped and arrested in raids were no meaningful in the sense of the word, except for their skin color and profession,” the plaintiffs wrote in his claim.
The US District Judge decided Maame Ewusi-Menmsah Frimong in their favor, writing that DHS and ICE could not use obvious race or ethnicity, speaking to the Spanish or person’s occupation to justify arrest or detention.
Trump’s administration is trying to abolish these restrictions.
