“Immigration rights activists have banded together to conduct patrols throughout Los Angeles communities and, in a few instances, have stopped raids as they were happening. One group, Community Self-Defense Coalition, told KTLA they’ve busted two raids so far – one in Alhambra, and the other in San Fernando. It was early Sunday morning when community members heard group volunteers alerting them of Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Alhambra. ‘There they are, there’s ICE, ICE spotted in Alhambra,’ one activist is heard saying in video footage showing a group of volunteers driving up to the scene. Their group, Community Self-Defense Coalition, is made up of more than 100 volunteers and began patrolling the streets of L.A. to notify the public of immigration enforcement activity.” (02/23/25)
