'It's going to get ugly': L.A. immigrants fear the worst as Extreme Court allows raids to resume

In a county where one in three residents are immigrants, a sense of anger and dread erupted Monday as noncitizens and their families realized the immigration raids that rocked their lives this summer could become a never-ending nightmare.

Monday’s Supreme Court order gave the green light to what critics called “indiscriminate” immigration stops that led to thousands of arrests and set off days of protests in the Los Angeles area. The federal government now says it will continue in earnest.

“DHS law enforcement will continue to FLOOD THE ZONE in Los Angeles,” the Department of Homeland Security declared on X shortly after the ruling.

A raft of immigrant rights groups, Democratic politicians and lawyers denounced the ruling. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called it “dangerous” and an “attack on every person in every city in this country.” Gov. Gavin Newsom said the “hand-picked Supreme Court majority just became the Grand Marshal for a parade of racial terror in Los Angeles.”
