  • This is The Guardian.

  • When you heard that ICE was carrying out raids in LA, what did you do?

  • So it was on Saturday that I woke up, you know, social media that said ICE raids all over.

  • So I told my daughter, hey, let's go check in the neighborhood.

  • Last Saturday, Andrea, not her real name, went for a drive around Paramount,

  • a neighborhood in Los Angeles, a majority Latino area.

  • She took her 10-year-old daughter with her.

  • She got herself a little notepad and she's like, I'm going to take notes of what we see.

  • I'm like, OK.

  • Andrea wanted to see for herself these raids that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency,

  • ICE, was carrying out in homes and workplaces, looking for undocumented migrants.

  • At first, though, she couldn't see much of anything.

  • So we were going down the streets, empty streets.

  • No people walking and it's a Saturday.

  • We usually have like our street vendors selling hot drinks, tamales.

  • They weren't there.

  • People are scared to come out.

  • And then she got to her local Home Depot,

  • a hardware store near where ICE were raiding some warehouses.

  • And I'm wearing my pajamas, my daughter as well.
