A Democrat Los Angeles City Council member urged anti-law enforcement protesters to “escalate” their tactics against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Saturday as tensions regarding immigration sweep the area.
The council member is identified as Eunisses Hernandez, whose bio on the California government website says she was born in Highland Park, is a “community organizer,” and the daughter of Mexican immigrants.
Video footage shows Hernandez speaking to a large crowd on Saturday, stating, “They know how quickly we mobilize, that’s why they’re changing tactics. Because community defense works and our resistance has slowed them down before… and if they’re escalating their tactics then so are we. When they show up, we gotta show up even stronger.”
