"Today I spoke to the Deputy Director of ICEs Los Angeles Field Office and made it very clear that I want greater transparency about ongoing operations and the status of all Los Angeles residents who may have been arrested or detained. I told the Deputy Director that I will do everything in my power working alongside our City Attorney, the LAPD, immigrants rights advocates, congressional delegation and outside lawyers to make sure that the legal rights of all Angelenos are respected and upheld at every stage of the enforcement process.
Angelenos should not have to fear raids that are disruptive to their peace of mind and bring unnecessary anxiety to our homes, schools, and workplaces. The Administration should take a just, humane, and sensible approach that does not cause pain for people who only want to live their lives and raise their families in the communities they call home."
-- Mayor Eric Garcetti

It seems like they no longer care about keeping families together. That's heartbreaking.

(53,339 posts)5. STATEMENT: California Senate Leader Responds to New Information from ICE
Friday, February 10, 2017
SACRAMENTO California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement in response to new information from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about raids they conducted across California this week:
I appreciate that ICE finally disclosed details about their recent raids, but stunned to learn that ICEs public comments made yesterday were blatantly false. When news first broke of raids happening across Southern California yesterday, ICE told the media that reports of 100 immigrants being arrested were grossly exaggerated yet today they admit they arrested 160 people.
ICE also told numerous media outlets that yesterday was a routine day which it most clearly was not. And they have yet to disclose the exact crimes each person was convicted of to support their arrests.
The disconnect between what was coming out of the ICE Regional Office yesterday and what was publicly disclosed today is deeply troubling and needs to be fully explained by the Trump Administration.
I find it particularly galling that after misleading the media yesterday, ICE would today lecture the public about the dangers of false reporting. If ICE is looking for the culprit to yesterdays panic they need only look in the mirror.
Let me be clear, we want to work together to get violent felons out of our neighborhoods; however, we remain deeply concerned with the new Administrations recent decision to prioritize nearly every undocumented resident in California for deportation, and their apparent inability to accurately inform the public of their operations in a timely manner.
If you want to ensure ongoing safety of the public and law enforcement personnel, my recommendation is to drop the mass deportation threats roiling our communities and instead focus strictly on dangerous felons.
