Hey there! Have you heard about what happened in Santa Ana recently? 🤔 Let’s dive in!
On Monday night, people in Santa Ana, a city not too far from Los Angeles, came together to protest. Why? Because there were immigration raids earlier that day carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These raids worried many folks in the community. 🏡
Over 200 people gathered outside a federal building in downtown Santa Ana. They waved flags and held signs, sharing their feelings and standing up for their neighbors. ✊📢
But things got a bit tense. Some protesters and law enforcement officers clashed. This means they had disagreements and some people got hurt or arrested. 😕
One young man named Dylan shared that he saw tear gas being used. Tear gas is something that makes your eyes and throat sting, and it’s not fun at all! 😢
There were also reports that rubber bullets were used. Don’t worry, rubber bullets aren’t like real bullets, but they can still hurt. Ouch! 🚫🔫
City Councilmember Jessie Lopez was there and said that things weren’t as bad as some officials claimed. She wanted everyone to know the real story. 🕵️♀️
It’s important to remember that people protest to make their voices heard, especially when they care about their friends, family, and community. Talking about our feelings and concerns is a big part of living in a place where everyone’s voice matters. ❤️🗣️
What do you think about what happened in Santa Ana? How can communities come together to support each other? 🤝
