On Thursday night, a controversial symphony of the metal utensils and inciting air horns on the outskirts of Los Angeles, when about 50 50 protesters demonstrated “no sleep for ice” outside the local hotel.
Targeting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, protesting gold, promoted public anger against President Donald Trump’s strict refugee crackdown center.
“They terrorize our community all day. Why do they get good sleep at night?” The 23 -year -old Nathanil Landaurde said, who beat the finished frying pan and participated in Kokovoni.
These demonstrations have emerged in the midst of the background of dramatic imagery shown to federal agents – often masked and sometimes attacked rifles – pursuing and arresting migrants in various public places, from courts to fields and city streets.
Earlier this week, ICE officials have also detained ICE officials for allegedly interfering with the mayor’s candidate in New York.
The heavy -handed approach has given rise to fear among immigrants and has provoked many Americans, especially in liberal cities like Los Angeles, where mass protests on snow raids began this month.
“If they do not get sleep, they are not going to do their job effectively. They are going to get fewer people,” Lindorda said, passing vehicles in clear support for the rally overnight.
It was not certain whether the ice agent was staying at the Three Star Hotel, but the organizers of the protest claimed that the image was present.
Dozens of people danced to a deaf Kokovoni when they waved indicators to read “Ice for Ice for Ice” and “Ice Out”, where some guests peeped through the curtains.
A woman easily screams in a megaphone. Another person blew up the distorted white noise by the speaker.
“They are separating the families, and it is terrifying to see it in my community. They can’t sleep here if they will do it here,” said Juliet Austin, 22, who was playing a small blue contract.
‘No secret police act’
Trump was selected for a long time to promise to deport thousands of immigrants.
But along with their aggressive tactics, critics have condemned federal immigration agents to wear facial masks to hide their identity. This is a very unusual but legal process in US law enforcement agencies.
“Where do we, as a nation, find ourselves with the secret police?” Walter Olson, a senior colleague at the Cato Institute think tank, wrote last month.
“For the Trump administration, turning masked raids into a standard practice, it fits a broader attempt to remove accountability for potentially illegal and unconstitutional measures,” he added.
In California, lawmakers have introduced a “secret police act” that will prevent federal agents from wearing masks.
Federal officials have rejected the criticism, claiming that agents wear masks to protect them from potential payments.
Meanwhile, the ICE has frequently proud of its activities and posted pictures of immigrants detained on social media.
And it is still important to enjoy Trump’s cooperation, who praised the “incredible power, determination and courage” of ice agents last weekend.
Nevertheless, as long as the immigration arrests are underway, the snow is unlikely to end, and the protesters were on Thursday that they would not back down.
“I think it’s a modern gasatapo here in the United States,” said Austin, a dance teacher.
He added, “This city is not going to be disturbed … We will let it happen. We are not tired.”
