CAIR-LA: ICE raids in Los Angeles leave immigrants afraid to report discrimination – Los Angeles Daily News

“The recent ICE raids have created widespread fear and panic among Southern California’s immigrant communities,” said Amr Shabaik, legal director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Greater Los Angeles office. “Even before these raids, many community members were wary of reporting to law enforcement or government agencies due to a well-founded mistrust rooted in historical inequities, over-policing, and undue surveillance.”

He said the raids have deepened those fears, leaving lasting trauma and discouraging people from basic daily activities, such as “grocery shopping, attending community events, or even appearing at their legal court hearings.”
