The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

Officials in L.A. County, the most densely populated county in CA, have voted in favor of declaring a state of emergency, giving the Board of Supervisors power to provide rent assistance and other financial relief to people in the region who have been affected by the ongoing ICE raids.

This is good news as about one third of the county’s 10 million residents are foreign born, and the county has an opportunity to provide material assistance to folks who have been afraid to leave their homes in order to work, as well as people who have had family members taken.

On Tuesday morning, October 21st, ICE agents shot and injured a citizen journalist, TikToker LA Richard, during an ICE raid near Santee High School in South Central L.A. A U.S. Marshal was also injured. This is a developing story and as we learn more about what exactly happened, we will share it in this newsletter.
