L.A. County moves to carve out 'ICE-free' zones following immigration raid violence
PositiveU.S News

- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to establish 'ICE-free zones' across county-owned properties, aiming to protect vulnerable communities from immigration enforcement actions. This decision follows recent incidents of violence related to immigration raids, highlighting the need for safer environments for residents.
- By prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from operating in these designated areas, the Board seeks to enhance the sanctuary status of Los Angeles County, reinforcing its commitment to safeguarding immigrant populations.
- This initiative reflects a broader trend of local governments taking a stand against federal immigration policies, particularly in light of past traumatic experiences reported by residents during ICE raids. The move also aligns with ongoing discussions about the treatment of detainees in ICE facilities and the psychological impact of enforcement actions on immigrant communities.
