AI Summary:
Los Angeles witnessed a series of coordinated immigration raids by United States law enforcement officials on Friday. The raids have intensified concerns about the force used by federal immigration officials and the rights of undocumented individuals. ICE and Homeland Security Investigations reported the “administrative arrest” of 44 individuals for immigration-related offences. An administrative arrest refers to detention for civil immigration violations such as overstaying a visa or lacking legal status. Advocates believe the number of arrests made was higher, however. The ACLU described the show of force as an “oppressive and vile paramilitary operation” Civil liberties groups said the tactics used had created panic in local communities and may have violate protocols for civil immigration enforcement. ICE says it "categorically refutes the assertions made by immigration activists" The status of all individuals detained remains unclear. Local and state officials condemn the raids and the manner in which they were conducted. California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement describing the operations as “cruel” and “chaotic”.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Its dangerous to conflate legal and illegal immigration.
