Hi Bluesky! 👋🏼
My name is Elizabeth Alcantar Loza and I have served on the Cudahy City Council for six years. I have championed and won rent stabilization and tenant protections, won millions in park funding to renovate almost every park in our city, and now moving us toward 100% renewable energy!

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean…
Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

While ICE raids are ramping up in our neighborhood remember that the federal government could have been funding literally anything else:
- housing for all
- healthcare
- supporting small farmers with making groceries more affordable
But no, your cost of living is still the same.

Their jobs include lying to local community members, tearing them apart from their families, and terrorizing our communities at large.
ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.”
He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

I am heartbroken and deeply angered by the ICE raids and violence we experienced in Los Angeles today and call on the immediate release of David Huerta and all protestors detained today.
ICE has no place in our communities. Keep your hands off of my neighbors.

The arrest of the SEIU CA President & protesters is a disgrace to our country — and part of a terrifying trend local electeds have also been facing.
We stand for First Amendment rights. We stand for democracy. We stand with David Huerta & call for his immediate release.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

For decades, New York has made it almost impossible for upstate localities to enact rent control. Costly studies prohibited communities from opting in to this critical program.
