On Friday, June 6th as ICE raids began across L.A., SEIU CA President David Huerta was arrested while he attempted to document ICE activity at a local business. ICE agents threw him violently to the ground. Huerta was injured and also kept in custody over the weekend. Thousands of union members across the country held rallies this Monday demanding his release and also an end to ICE raids. SEIU held rallies in Seattle, Pittsburgh, D.C., Minnesota, and Boston, among other cities.

Huerta was released on Monday. As of right now, he is scheduled to appear in court in July. Along with thousands across the nation, we will be following this story closely.

Communities across the LA area have been successful using a variety of tactics to combat increased ICE activity. ICE agents decided to crash at several Pasadena hotels. Agents were apparently interrogating and harassing hotel staff looking for victims. However, they weren’t prepared for the tables to turn. When a hotel staff member posted online that ICE agents were staying in Pasadena, the community turned out to send a loud and clear message: ICE is not welcome — not in Pasadena, not in LA.

Protestors held it down and successfully forced ICE out of Pasadena’s AC hotel—although for hours thereafter ICE officers were unable to leave the parking lot to continue their terror campaigns due to protestors having slashed the tires on their vehicles. Rumor has it that even the auto workers sided with protestors instead of helping them get back on the road, leaving ICE agents to attempt their own repairs with duct tape.

During a city council meeting in Glendale last week, an immigration attorney shone a light on an indefinite contract the city’s had since 2007 with ICE allowing them to hold detainees in the city’s jails. On Sunday, the city cancelled the contract in response to mounting community pressure. Let’s keep up the pressure in all of our cities and neighborhoods: ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

Mass detentions of undocumented migrants began in Los Angeles on June 6, when citizens took to the streets in response to the raids NEW YORK, June 11. /TASS/. The number of US troops deployed in the Californian city of Los Angeles currently exceeds that in Iraq and Syria, ABC News reports.

"There are 4,800 activated Guard and Marine personnel in LA, compared to the 2,500 troops in Iraq and 1,500 in Syria," the broadcaster points out.

Mass detentions of undocumented migrants began in Los Angeles on June 6. By the evening of June 7, at least 44 people were already held on suspicion of immigration violations. Citizens took to the streets in response to the raids, with protests escalating into riots.

US President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to the unrest without consulting California Governor Gavin Newsom, who later sued the US president and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for sending in troops without his permission.

Spencer Ackerman of Forever Wars is back on the podcast to talk about the LA protests and his piece on them for Zeteo, "The Imperial Boomerang Lands in Los Angeles."

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is struggling to control the LA protests. But she was previously a senior board member of the National Endowment for Democracy, the world's biggest instigator and financer of anti-government protests internationally – including in Hong Kong in 2019, as their own documents show.
