These protests, which began on February 2, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/study-texas-heartbeat-act-cut-abortions-by-50-in-september\/\" title=\"Study: Texas Heartbeat Act Cut Abortions by 50% in September\">created widespread disruptions<\/a> and involved students walking out of classes. City officials estimate that 10% of the\u200d city&#8217;s residents are undocumented, \u2062which raises \u2062concerns \u2064about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-renew-criticism-of-gov-whitmers-efforts-to-shut-off-key-oil-pipeline-as-energy-crisis-explodes\/\" title=\"Republicans Renew Criticism of Gov. Whitmer\u2019s Efforts to Shut Off Key Oil Pipeline as Energy Crisis Explodes\">potential economic impact<\/a> of mass deportations.<\/p>\n<p>the protests are marked by demonstrators carrying Mexican flags, and tensions escalated when a teenage protester was stabbed, drawing public attention and concern. Mayor Karen\u2063 Bass emphasized that violence \u2063will not be tolerated and stressed the city\u2019s commitment to supporting \u200dpeaceful protests while\u200c ensuring public safety.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles, designated as\u2064 a sanctuary city, prohibits local resources from being used for immigration enforcement and restricts cooperation with federal authorities. City\u200d Council member Hugo Soto-Martinez highlighted the importance of undocumented immigrants to the \u2063local\u2062 economy, noting that their potential removal could considerably impact labor costs and small businesses. Higher wages could be a result of losing this demographic, affecting services and \u200crental demand in the city.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">ICE plans LA enforcement amid protests; city says 10% of residents undocumented<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1991145\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &ndash; One week into anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are preparing for a &ldquo;large scale&rdquo; immigration enforcement action in the city, according to documents&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2025-02-07\/document-immigration-enforcement-action\">leaked<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>City officials have said one in 10 residents are in the country illegally, meaning mass deportations could have a significant effect on the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing protests, where many protestors carry Mexican flags, started on Feb. 2, shutting down freeways and resulting in police injuries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, when students across the city walked out of classrooms to join the protests, a Hispanic teenager allegedly&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/02\/08\/us-news\/california-teen-stabbed-in-critical-condition-after-stabbing-at-anti-trump-protest-at-la-city-hall\/\">stabbed<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;an unidentified 17-year old protester who is currently in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Violence of any kind will not be tolerated.
