Live updates: Trump pursues his agenda after a week of protests across the US
Update: Date: 35 min ago Title: Tumultuous week in LA illustrates the human toll of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown Content: Days before immigration raids sparked sometimes violent protests and the deployment of US troops in Los Angeles, Nancy Raquel Chirinos Medina said, her husband received a 'strange' text. The message from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement directed the father of two with one on the way to come to a federal building downtown with his family. 'It really surprised us, especially because it said the whole family had to be there … It was strange,' recalled Chirinos Medina, an asylum seeker from Honduras along with her husband. They routinely checked in with ICE, she said, but their next appointment wasn't until September. Chirinos Medina, who's nine weeks pregnant, as well as her husband, their 8-year-old son, and their US-born toddler, wound up among the nearly 20 immigrant families detained by ICE for hours at that Los Angeles federal building the first Wednesday in June, she said. There were few answers about what was happening and, that night, her husband was arrested and later transferred to an ICE detention center to face deportation. 'Dad isn't coming back, is he?' their young son asked Chirinos Medina late that night. He cried the entire 90-minute drive back home to Lancaster, a city in northern Los Angeles County. The events that unfolded that Wednesday, and the days that followed, illustrate the human toll of more aggressive methods the Trump administration have taken to detain migrants in the United States.
