Why Are People Protesting?
The protests started because of some raids by an organization called Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE for short. Starting on June 6, ICE carried out raids in different places in southern California. They arrested many people who they thought were living in the country without proper documents.

Many people in the community are upset. They say that these arrests are tearing families apart. Imagine if your friend or neighbor suddenly got taken away! A protester shared that many hardworking families who pay taxes are being arrested and might be sent away from the country. They believe this isn’t fair.
What’s Next?
The protesters are asking for their voices to be heard. They want the government to respect their right to protest peacefully. They also hope for an end to what they see as violent treatment of their communities.
Why Is This Important?
Understanding what’s happening helps us learn about rights and how people can stand up for what they believe in. It’s important to listen to different sides and think about how actions affect families and communities.
