Undocumented street vendors decide to stay at home amid ICE operations
Many undocumented street vendors have decided to stay home as fears of immigration raids grow in Los Angeles. "I don't go out, " street vendor Lidia said in Spanish. "I am scared." Lidia and her husband, who are both undocumented, are just two of the thousands of vendors staying home after hearing about the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, according to immigrant rights advocate Sergio Jimenez. "ICE has been showing up in Pico Rivera, Home Depots, street vending communities in South Central, Boyle Heights, downtown L.A.," Jimenez said. "You just don't know when you're going to get hit by ICE." Her 10-year-old son Gerardo, who is a citizen, said he and his sister don't go outside anymore. "It just feels like you're trapped in your home because if you go outside, you're risking getting taken away by ICE," Geraldo said. Instead of being a kid, Geraldo is left worrying if he'll wake up with his parents by his side. "They normally go to sell on the street, but now they don't. They just stay here," he said. "We don't really go out much — just if it's important or necessary." Fearing that ICE may come to their home, Lidia and her husband posted a sign on their window saying, "This house does not open for ICE." On the back of the sign is a list of the family's rights, which they said gives them some peace of mind. "We are not criminals," Lidia said. The decision to stay at home and give up their only source of income means the family does not have money for rent or food. To help the family, local nonprofits, including Community Power Collective, launched a fundraiser. "This is the third initiative where we fundraise funds for street vendors," Jimenez said. Jimenez said the donations will go towards the family's living expenses. "Everything they need, but we understand that is not going to be enough," Jimenez said. While Jimenez can help Lidia's family, he says she is one of thousands of vendors in the same situation. L.A. organizers said the work is far from done but every donation helps keep a family together. "There's fear all over the place," Jimenez said.

Spanish-language journalist who documents immigration raids detained for ICE after protest arrest
Police tell Spanish-language reporter Mario Guevara to move back during a protest on ICE raids and deportation arrests on Chamblee Tucker Road in Atlanta on Saturday, June 14, 2025. (Arvin Temkar/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP) Savannah, Ga. — A Spanish-language journalist known for documenting immigration raids could face deportation proceedings after police arrested him on charges of obstructing officers and unlawful assembly as he was covering a weekend protest outside Atlanta. Mario Guevara, who fled El Salvador two decades ago and built a large following as an independent journalist covering immigration in the Atlanta area, was broadcasting live on social media Saturday at a protest in DeKalb County when officers arrested him. The video shows Guevara standing on a sidewalk with other journalists, filming police in riot gear walking through a parking lot, before he stepped into the street as officers approached. 'I'm a member of the media, officer,' Guevara tells a police officer right before he's arrested. The video shows Guevara wearing a bright red shirt under a protective vest with 'PRESS' printed across his chest. Guevara was jailed in DeKalb County, which includes parts of Atlanta, on charges of obstructing police, unlawful assembly and improperly entering a roadway. His attorney, Giovanni Diaz, said a judge granted Guevara bond on Monday, but he was kept in jail after Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed an extra 48-hour hold on him. 'He's not a legal permanent resident, but he has authorization to remain and work in the United States,' Diaz said in a phone interview, adding that Guevara has an adult son who is a U.S. citizen and an application pending for his green card. If ICE agents take custody of Guevara, Diaz said, his case would move to federal immigration court for potential deportation proceedings. Diaz insisted that Guevara has a strong case for being allowed to stay in the U.S. But he said that President Donald Trump's aggressive approach to immigration enforcement has added 'another level of anxiety.' A spokesperson for the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, Cynthia Williams, confirmed that Guevara was being held for immigration authorities. An ICE spokesperson in Atlanta did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Guevara fled El Salvador with his family in 2004, saying he was beaten and repeatedly harassed because of his work as a political reporter for the newspaper La Prensa Grafica. They immigrated to Georgia, where Guevara worked as a reporter for Georgia's largest Spanish-language newspaper, Mundo Hispanico, before launching his own online news site, MGNews. Guevara's coverage of immigration raids, often documented live with help from a network of tipsters, has earned him a big social media following that exceeds 782,000 on Facebook alone. Like hundreds of communities across the U.S., DeKalb County saw crowds gather Saturday to protest the Trump administration. County officials said in a news release that police were dispatched to confront protestors marching toward an interstate onramp. Officers fired tear gas and made at least eight arrests. Guevara was photographed at that protest by news outlets including The Associated Press. The video he recorded leading up to his arrest shows him standing beside a shopping center a distance from police vehicles blocking a roadway. Guevara doesn't appear to be near any crowds or confrontations when police arrested him. Diaz said Guevara is well-known by local and federal authorities after his years of documenting immigration enforcement. 'He's been doing this type of work for 20-plus years, and now he gets detained,' Diaz said. 'It's concerning. He's a member of the press. And he doesn't seem to be committing any crime.'
