SAN DIEGO,CA — The Supreme Court has sided with cruelty and repression, lifting the lower court order that had temporarily halted the Trump Administration’s terrorizing raids in Los Angeles. This decision grants a green light to racial profiling, false arrests, and unchecked violence against immigrant workers—an assault on human rights disguised as “law and order.”

These raids are not about “safety” or “security.” They are part of a broader campaign of racialized state violence meant to silence, terrorize, and disappear Black and Brown immigrant workers who sustain the very economy that exploits them. With the courts abdicating their duty to protect our people, the responsibility now falls to us—the people—to resist.

Quote from Guerline Jozef, Executive Director of Haitian Bridge Alliance:

“This Supreme Court decision is nothing short of legalized terror. When the state chooses violence against immigrant workers, it declares war on every community of color in this country. We refuse to bow to fear, and we refuse to be silent. Our ancestors fought against slavery, colonialism, and apartheid—we inherit their courage, and we will rise with the same fire. Solidarity is not optional. It is survival.”

Haitian Bridge Alliance stands firm: we will not allow immigrant workers to be hunted in our streets. We demand an end to these raids, an end to the terror, and an end to the machinery of deportation.
