Los Angeles houses of worship plan for possible ICE Raids

Churches and other places of worship in Los Angeles are preparing for potential immigration raids after the Trump administration rolled back a policy that discouraged ICE agents from conducting enforcement actions in these sensitive locations. Faith leaders are now organizing shelter plans, legal aid, and other protective measures for immigrant communities who may be at risk.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about policy—it’s about real people who may now feel unsafe in spaces traditionally seen as sanctuaries. The move signals a tougher stance on immigration enforcement, and faith groups are stepping up to shield vulnerable families. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly shifts in federal policy can ripple into everyday lives.
