FEATURING RON GOCHEZ -  Fear has gripped Los Angeles’ Latinx, immigrant, undocumented, and mixed status communities since early June when President Donald Trump sent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to Southern California. So far, an estimated 1,600 people have been snatched up and disappeared from the streets of Los Angeles and surrounding neighborhoods. 

Earlier this year, Union del Barrio, in anticipation of Trump’s planned raids, convened a “Community Self-Defense Coalition.” Neighborhoods are now organizing people in rapid responses to the appearance of ICE agents.
