Reflections on Coping with ICE Raids in Los Angeles
Rossana Pérez, a refugee and immigrant advocate, shares her perspective on dealing with the trauma caused by ICE raids in Los Angeles, finding hope amidst the challenges.
Pérez, a professor, writer, and activist, was once arrested by a death squad and imprisoned in her native El Salvador before arriving in Los Angeles over 40 years ago as a refugee.
There is also reason for hope
According to Pérez, Latinos and other immigrant communities can find guidance and examples from history to survive this tumultuous time. The ongoing immigration raids have affected the physical and mental health of Latinos across Los Angeles.
- Ongoing aggressive immigration raids since June have impacted the community.
- Not everyone can access medical or therapeutic help.
- Elders like Pérez, 67, provide vital support and direction.
