Erika Arhuiz Vega died after suffering severe medical neglect at Core Civic’s privately owned ICE detention center in California City and being deported back to Peru. This isn’t the first case like this either and we fear that there is and will be more. @lataco.bsky.social

Daily Memo: The 15th Death In ICE Detention and ICE is Slowly Escalating
ICE’s slow increase in operations is now averaging about 30 kidnappings per week in Southern California.
This is why I’m leaving L.A. TACO for ICE.
How do you like my new uniform?
Personal update: After speaking with family, and friends, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave L.A. TACO and join ICE as their new PRESS secretary. I got bills to pay!

A healthy reminder from @eltragon.bsky.social that Chavez was very antagonistic toward undocumented immigrants: "In the mid-70s, Chávez launched what he called the Illegals Campaign, an effort to raise awareness about illegal immigration and report undocumented workers to federal authorities."
Shout to Memo and Izzy @izzymirez.bsky.social of LA Taco who've both spoken out in support of Dolores Huerta today.
Tortas Ahogadas Ameca, like many businesses, is looking for a lifeline to help them survive the economic impact of ICE raids.
The Small Business Resiliency Fund—a motion introduced by County Supervisor @hildasolis.bsky.social—is providing that much needed aid.
🎥: @eltragon.bsky.social
Replace all Cesar Chavez Avenues and statues with Dolores Huertas. Fuck that anti-immigrant pedophile rapist piece of shit.
That Noma chef came to L.A. and found out L.A. don’t play.
