Congresswoman Luz Rivas’ Statement on Supreme Court Ruling Favoring Racial Profiling Against Immigrant Communities Across Los Angeles

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Luz Rivas (CA-29) released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump Administration to resume Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and racial profiling across Los Angeles:

“With today’s ruling, the Supreme Court empowered Donald Trump and ICE to continue racial profiling tactics to terrorize Latino and Spanish-speaking communities across Los Angeles. Donald Trump’s and ICE’s ‘roving raids’ was never about public safety – it was always about fulfilling an anti-immigrant agenda in our Hispanic and immigrant communities, like Los Angeles. As Donald Trump continues to target Los Angeles, his actions will remain a stain on our values and history.

“I will continue to fight for the dignity and safety of the San Fernando Valley’s families – and that includes standing up to the Trump Administration’s attempts to define who is and who is not an American.”
