Dear Angeleno,
Today I was joined by more than one hundred leaders from our labor, business, faith, and immigrant communties to call for an end to the recent raids across our city.

Last Thursday, Los Angeles was peaceful. Then federal agents began chasing people though Home Depot parking lots and car washes and showing up at schools. Federalized troops were deployed on the heels of the raids as a chaotic escalation.
This administration has repeatedly been threatening elected officials with arrests, and now they've shoved and cuffed a sitting U.S. Senator.
But we will not let them divide us.
LA's unity is on display all around us. Today I was also in Little Tokyo with volunteers to clean up graffiti at the renowned Japanese American National Museum and historic Japanese local business. It was a representation of the very best of our great city. This unity was a stark contrast to the bad actors who committed that vandalism without a care for the immigrant community.

Let's keep showing up for one another like so many of us did today.

We will get through this.

Know Your Rights: Whether you are at work, home or in your community, it's important that all Angelenos know their rights and are prepared when interacting with law enforcement – including immigration agents.
- If officers ask you questions, you have the right to say: “I choose to remain silent.”
- You have the right to consult with an attorney before answering any questions or signing any documents.
- If you have valid U.S.immigration documents, carry them with you. Never carry false documents or lie about your immigration status.
- No law enforcement officer can enter your home without your permission unless that officer has a warrant signed by a judge. An administrative warrant from the Department of Homeland Security does not give officers the right to enter your home against your will.
