Federal immigration raids in LA started a year ago. They left a permanent mark on many

Federal immigration raids in Los Angeles, initiated by the Trump administration a year ago, resulted in over 14,000 arrests in 2025, predominantly of individuals without criminal records. The raids caused widespread community disruption, including family separations, business closures, and violent incidents, with federal agents deploying military personnel and detaining U.S. citizens. Specific cases include a food vendor resisting deportation and a high school senior detained during a raid.
