As families scramble for information about detained loved ones, economic implications loom large, with many businesses fearing a drop in patronage as anxiety spreads through immigrant populations. Protests have erupted across Southern California, demanding accountability from ICE and calling for more resources to protect vulnerable communities. The situation highlights the complexities of immigration policy and its far-reaching effects on family structures and local economies.
