(LOS ANGELES) - City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto issued the following statement in response to the immigration raids:
“The dangerous escalation of the tactics being used across Los Angeles undermines trust between our immigrant communities and government, and makes us all less safe. Immigrants are our family members, our neighbors, our coworkers, and our classmates and raids such as these do nothing but bring fear to our neighborhoods and our residents. All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to constitutional protections including due process and equal protection.
