End the ICE Raids
Support the Protests
UNAC
supports the spontaneous protests by the Los Angeles communities against the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on workplaces and shopping
sites. These raids have caused fear and anger in the Chicano and Mexicano
communities but on June 6 the community responded in a massive way. They fought back. Slogans of “ICE out of LA!”
and “When Chicanos are under attack we will stand up and fight back!” were
heard.
ICE and FBI
agents tried to disperse the crowd by escalating attacks against the people and
firing tear gas, rubber bullets and flash bang grenades into the crowds. Trump
has called in thousands of members of the National Guard to occupy the
communities to try and stop any future protests. But when there is repression, we know there
will be a response.
Just as the
US conducts wars on the people of other countries around the world, the ICE
raids and the repression against the LA protests are manifestation of the wars
at home. UNAC encourages support for the
LA protests and opposition to the ICE raids in LA and around the country.
End all ICE
raids!
Stop the
Deportations of migrants and political activists!
Support the
Protests against the raids!
