Los Angeles: ‘ICE Out Of Our Barrios’ protest to take place this Sunday in Boyle Heights
Los Angeles, CA – Centro CSO has called for a “ICE Out of Our Barrios” protest at Mariachi Plaza this Sunday, September 21, at 2 p.m.
The ICE Out of Our Barrios protest is a response to the SCOTUS ruling that happened on September 8. The ruling allows ICE to conduct “roving patrols” and gives ICE the green light to legally use racial profiling as a way to continue to intimidate and harass Chicanos. This means that ICE can detain and interrogate Raza simply for being brown, Chicanos, speaking Spanish, or living and working in working-class neighborhoods. This is a dangerous expansion of ICE authority that is targeting the working-class immigrant community and further perpetuating national oppression of Chicanos.

Today, Federal agents deployed chemical agents, pepper balls, & rubber bullets against peaceful protesters outside the Broadview ICE facility during "Operation Midway Blitz."
Protesters were dragged, thrown to the ground, some detained without clear process. Politicians stood with demonstrators.
“We have no weapons, just signs, chants, and songs. They’re treating us like it’s a warzone.”
In Chicago’s Little Village, neighbors are pushing back against federal immigration raids by distributing bright orange whistles—handed out at weekly “know your rights” workshops—to warn each other of ICE operations. Inspired by similar tactics in Los Angeles, the community response aims to help undocumented residents avoid detention and resist opening doors to agents. About 1,200 whistles have been distributed, with others buying and sharing more. Concerns also grow over federal use of invasive cellphone surveillance tech during Trump-era enforcement. Community solidarity is their frontline defense.

President Trump’s crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities is fueling fear in immigrant communities across Metro Boston, with ICE detaining people at work, outside courthouses, and in parking lots. Advocates report more unmarked ICE vehicles and targeted arrests, like landscapers detained in Saugus. The heightened enforcement has prompted cancellations of public events—Everett called off its Hispanic Heritage Month festival, citing safety concerns. While officials like NH Gov. Kelly Ayotte praise the measures, others say it’s spreading fear and disrupting communities.
