Una serie de redadas sorpresivas del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos (ICE) en el centro de Los Ángeles provocaron el viernes una fuerte reacción de funcionarios electos y manifestantes, que denunciaron las acciones como “crueles e innecesarias” y dijeron que avivaron el miedo en la comunidad inmigrante.
