Congresswoman Luz Rivas on Videos of Violent and Chaotic ICE Raids Across the San Fernando Valley

October 30, 2026 Press Release LOS ANGELES – Congresswoman Luz Rivas (CA-29) – the first Latina to represent California’s 29th Congressional District – released the following statement in response to social media videos of ICE agents violently targeting constituents across the San Fernando Valley: “The videos of ICE chasing down, assaulting, and drawing guns on members of our community are horrifying. ICE is violating the fundamental rights and safety of individuals across the San Fernando Valley to carry out Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. Families are being ripped apart and hardworking residents are being terrorized on their own streets by masked thugs. “ICE needs to get out of L.A. and it must be abolished for good. “Donald Trump will not intimidate us into silence. The people of the San Fernando Valley deserve to live, work, go to school, run errands, and live their lives without fear that ICE will ruin their livelihoods. “I will continue showing up to ICE detention facilities to demand answers from this administration. I will continue conducting oversight into ICE’s abuses. And I will continue working on bills to rein in Donald Trump and ICE from causing more harm in our communities.” ###
