KABC: Run Against ICE route set to include LA areas hit by immigration raids
https://abc7.com/post/run-ice-route-koreatown-olvera-street-set-include-areas-hit-immigration-raids/16969403/KOREATOWN, LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- Immigrant rights activists are set to participate in a Run Against ICE Saturday morning along a 15-mile route from Koreatown to Placita Olvera and through other communities that have witnessed raids and arrests by Immigration Customs Enforcement agents in recent weeks.
Organizers call it a "non-violent journey of resistance through Los Angeles" and said it is part of a 30-day "Summer of Resistance" campaign designed to push for an end to ICE raids and deportations they say have "tore families apart."
Upwards of 2,000 people have registered to participate in the run, which will include a stop at downtown's Metropolitan Detention Center on Alameda Street, which has been the site of multiple clashes between people protesting immigration-related arrests and law enforcement officers.
The latest arrests were reported Saturday after a large group of protesters blocked traffic in downtown Los Angeles during a July 4 rally opposing federal immigration enforcement raids and other policies of President Donald Trump's administration.
