LOS ANGELES (KABC) – The produce market in downtown Los Angeles has become another casualty of the ICE raids happening across Southern California, with employees not showing up and customers staying away out of fear of being detained.
Rotting fruit and vegetables scattered throughout the market were seen on Tuesday in what would otherwise be a bustling scene. Store after store closed for now, each with plenty to sell but no one to buy.
The immigrant community usually fills the L.A. produce market but since ICE agents arrived in downtown, the market has been empty, with only a trickle of workers showing up.
It hits Cali first because everywhere else already has stuff in transit…
Give it a week or two and it’ll be everywhere
Do the techbros financing this administration live in California?
Well that’s fucked up. California had that big of a slave class?
It’s not that all of them are undocumented, it’s the fact that ICE is kidnapping anyone brown and sorting them out later. Being detained by ICE probably isn’t fun.
Yep. Most food producing states do.
