Los Angeles, a city with a significant Latino/Hispanic population (48.6%), is facing intense protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The city's designation as a sanctuary city has fueled the demonstrations, with residents expressing concerns about the impact of federal immigration enforcement on their communities. "ICE out of LA!" is a common chant heard at these protests, illustrating the strong feelings among residents. CNN correspondent Gonzalo Alvarado reports on the situation, highlighting the demographic factors contributing to the unrest and the protesters' demands for increased protection. One protester's sign read, "If your family was taken, you would be here too," encapsulating the emotional core of the protests. The protests underscore the complex and emotionally charged issue of immigration in a city deeply affected by these policies.
