FEATURING VICTOR NARRO - The Los Angeles-area city of Huntington Park just passed a strict sanctuary city ordinance in response to the violent invasion of federal immigration agents.

The ordinance ensures that the city will not cooperate with ICE agents, nor will the city allow its facilities to be used by ICE agents unless required by federal law. It also establishes a fund to support impacted people. 

Huntington Park is 97% Latino and has been an epicenter of LA-area ICE raids. In late June 2025, ICE agents blasted the door off a home in Huntington Park in a violent raid that left children inside traumatized. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was present for that raid.
