Community advocates and elected officials are amplifying Know Your Rights information and rapid response networks as an increase in immigration enforcement once again hits California.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, neighbors in North Long Beach<\/a> rushed out of their homes and blocked federal immigration agents from detaining a man they violently knocked to the ground.<\/p>\n Uni\u00f3n del Barrio has shared video footage of immigration agents spotted in Inglewood<\/a>, Koreatown<\/a> and East LA<\/a> in recent days and is urging residents \u201cto be cautious during this wave of deportations\u201d and to \u201cnot surrender to fear.\u201d<\/p>\n Calls for help to immigrant rights and aid groups in Long Beach have tripled in the last few weeks, Rep. Robert Garcia said at a news conference Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n And with just weeks before the Nov. 3 election, community and labor organizations, including InnerCity Struggle, have hosted voter-protection trainings to ensure voters understand how to protect their votes and what they can do in the face of any interference.<\/p>\n While there are no known examples of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at California polling places, organizers at a recent training said even rumors can create fear and urged trainees to encourage voters to stay in line and to observe and document what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n The Boyle Heights Immigrant Rights Network last week said it is continuing its rapid response efforts and seeking volunteers to spread the word about what people can do when they spot ICE agents.<\/p>\n \u201cSharing this information and encouraging people to commit to these different opportunities is the best thing we can do to help protect our community,\u201d said Ken Campa, director of programs at Proyecto Pastoral.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s who to call if you spot ICE:<\/p>\n \u00d3RALE Long Beach<\/p>\n Hotline: (562) 245-9575<\/p>\n Instagram: @oralelb<\/a><\/p>\n Boyle Heights Immigrant Rights Network<\/p>\n Hotline: (323) 805-1049<\/p>\n Instagram: @boyleheightsirn<\/a><\/p>\n Los Angeles Raids and Rapid Response Network<\/p>\n Hotline: (888) 624-4752<\/p>\n Uni\u00f3n Del Barrio<\/p>\n Hotline: (213) 444-6561<\/p>\n Instagram: @uniondelbarrio<\/a><\/p>\n Immigrant Defenders Law Center<\/p>\n Hotline: (213) 833-8283<\/p>\n Instagram: @immdef_lawcenter<\/a><\/p>\n Have this information ready, advocates say:<\/p>\n Date and time of the sighting or activity Join Know Your Rights workshops<\/p>\n The Immigrant Defenders Law Center is offering free virtual Know Your Rights webinars.<\/p>\n Oct. 21 at 6:30 p.m. (Spanish) Register here: https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/cNo_v5Z6RVu7ahDCsfn2ig#\/registration<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t
