Dear Neighbor,
Thank you to everyone who joined our Tele Town Hall last Wednesday, June 18th. We had an important conversation about the ongoing ICE raids and the deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles County.
I was joined by incredible experts from CHIRLA and the Immigrant Defenders Law Center who shared valuable information and resources to help our community. There is a lot of fear right now, but it's more important than ever to stay calm, avoid escalation, and know your rights.
If you missed the call, here’s a recap of the resources that were shared:
