What we know The officials had stated that the protest outside the federal building constituted unlawful assembly and warned that those who did not disperse would be detained. During a press conference, Angelica Salas, executive director for the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights, said at least 45 people were arrested without warrants. 'Our community is under attack and is being terrorized. These are workers, these are fathers, these are mothers, and this has to stop. Immigration enforcement that is terrorizing our families throughout this country and picking up our people that we love must stop now,' Salas said, as quoted by The Guardian. California senate president Mike McGuire stated, "The ICE raids we're seeing across LA County today are ruthless, indiscriminate and are designed to instill terror into the lives of Californians. America must put a stop to these fascist tactics. We call for an immediate release of SEIU State Council President David Huerta who was violently thrown to the ground and is now being detained by ICE. We are better than this and every American should be alarmed."
