CalMatters has partnered with Evident Media and Bellingcat to map and analyze videos of the immigration raids across Los Angeles in a new short documentary:
The film builds off of previous CalMatters reporting:
- ‘Brazen, midday kidnappings:’ LA immigration sweeps violate Constitution, lawsuit says
- Taken: What happens after an LA immigration raid
- He misled the public about his last big immigration sweep. Now he’s leading the Border Patrol in LA
- Border Patrol said it targeted known criminals in Kern County. But it had no record on 77 of 78 arrestees
