A year after federal agents launched mass immigration raids across Los Angeles in June 2025, arrests in the region have increased roughly sevenfold compared with the same period the previous year, as agencies shifted resources from the border to local neighborhoods. One worker, Giovanni, was detained for six months at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center after being taken from the car wash where he had worked for years, while his wife and school-age children waited at home not knowing if he would be deported. Advocates say the raids have affected daily life, work and community safety efforts among Latino and immigrant families.
