Long Beach, CA — Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn issued the following statement after at least nine people were detained by masked ICE agents at workplaces across Long Beach today.

“ICE is continuing to terrorize our communities and they hit Long Beach hard today. They are not communicating with local law enforcement, and we know they are not targeting violent criminals. They are targeting people based on the color of their skin, or their accent, or the place that they work. They are violating our residents’ rights every day they remain on our streets. They are creating chaos and spreading fear in our immigrant community, and they need to leave.

Tomorrow, I will unveil an ordinance barring all law enforcement, including ICE from concealing their identities. This is how an authoritarian’s secret police operate – not legitimate law enforcement in a democracy.”
