In the news this week: On June 6, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began a series of raids in Los Angeles, and their actions were the boiling point after months of violent apprehensions. 

Protests grew and the federal government sent unsolicited troops as a response, which only heightened tensions. We speak with Cal Matters reporter Sergio Olmos about the administration’s excessive crackdown, how we got here, and why this is happening in the Sanctuary city of LA. 

“Los Angeles is a very diverse place,” and going after people in low-paying jobs with assault rifles “is not a very popular thing here," Olmos said.
