While ICE Raided Nearly 100 7-Eleven Stores in Pre-Dawn Nationwide Sweeps, California Unions Resists Trumps Anti-Immigrant Actions with Rusty Hicks, President of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor
California unions are moving to protect undocumented workers and immigrants against attacks from the Trump regime. They are vigorously supporting AB450, a bill introduced by state Rep. David Chiu, D-San Francisco, which gives undocumented immigrants affirmative protections against indiscriminate raids by agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). And then they darned their armor, after learning agents from the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be visiting a 7-Eleven store in Koreatown to conduct interviews and an audit, and decided to stage a protest outside of the store, holding signs that read, Immigrants are welcome here. ICE raided close to one hundred 7-Eleven stores nation-wide, including five in Los Angeles. While people were arrested in other states, none were arrested in Southern California, however ICE issued a statement saying there were would be more raids to come.
