California Assembly Democrats Denounce Supreme Court’s Ruling to Allow Discriminatory ICE Raids in Los Angeles

SACRAMENTO — Today, the Supreme Court lifted court-imposed restrictions to allow Trump’s devastating immigration raids to continue in the Los Angeles area. 

California Democratic leaders denounce this ruling and pledge to continue to fight against Trump’s discriminatory policies and ICE raids. Full statements can be found below:

What Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas Says

“Trump’s Supreme Court is once again attacking our freedoms. California will fight back with everything we’ve got — to keep families safe, protect our way of life and hold ICE accountable. We’ve already passed laws to prevent raids in our schools and hospitals, and I will always stand with immigrant communities, workers and families. The only way we stop Trump is by standing together.”

What Latino Caucus Vice Chair Assemblymember Juan Carrillo Says

"As Vice Chair of the Latino Caucus, I condemn racial profiling in the strongest terms and the Supreme Court's decision condoning Trump's raids. Racial profiling has no place in our society or in our institutions. No one should be judged or targeted because of the color of their skin, their heritage, or the language they speak. Our Caucus is committed to advancing policies that protect civil rights and ensure every Californian is treated with dignity, fairness, and equality under the law."

What Latino Caucus Vice Chair Assemblymember Liz Ortega Says

“Donald Trump’s Supreme Court judges just made it legal for masked men to snatch innocent people off the street. Moms and dads on their way to work end up losing their children. Trump’s war on immigrants was never about safety—it was always about racism and intimidating workers.”

What AAPI Caucus Chair Mike Fong Says

“The Supreme Court’s decision is a threat to our communities and harms our families. The AAPI Legislative Caucus condemns this ruling and stands with immigrants across California, affirming that every family deserves to live with dignity in safe and welcoming surroundings. We will continue to uplift and amplify the voices of those most impacted and protect the values of inclusion that define our state.”
