Organized left-wing activist groups encouraged protesters to arrive at a chaotic Southern California immigration raid where a man allegedly opened

On the heels of major shows of force by federal immigration agents in Southern California, a judge is set to rule in a lawsuit seeking to halt immigration raids in Los Angeles.

Immigrant workers are central to recovery efforts in neighborhoods burned in the January wildfires, but recent raids have led some to stay home.

Societal paranoia’ is prompting people to see immigration enforcement where there is none, an expert says. Even Disneyland is not immune.

The judge said there was "a mountain of evidence" that federal agents had arrested people solely based on characteristics such as race, employment and accent.

San Bernardino Roman Catholic Bishop Alberto Rojas issued a dispensation Tuesday evening, offering members of his diocese’s roughly one million parishioners in danger of being deported the option to stay home Sundays.

According to reporting on the ground, the company’s facilities in Camarillo (Ventura County) and Carpinteria (Santa Barbara County) are the scenes of large-scale ICE raids. Protesters have gathered at both locations, with reports of federal agents using tear gas or pepper spray to push the crowds back.
