Los Angeles, CA – Centro CSO has called for a “ICE Out of Our Barrios” protest at Mariachi Plaza this Sunday, September 21, at 2 p.m.

The ICE Out of Our Barrios protest is a response to the SCOTUS ruling that happened on September 8. The ruling allows ICE to conduct “roving patrols” and gives ICE the green light to legally use racial profiling as a way to continue to intimidate and harass Chicanos. This means that ICE can detain and interrogate Raza simply for being brown, Chicanos, speaking Spanish, or living and working in working-class neighborhoods. This is a dangerous expansion of ICE authority that is targeting the working-class immigrant community and further perpetuating national oppression of Chicanos.
