The Los Angeles Dodgers player, Enrique Hernandez, said in an article on social networks during the weekend that the community “was raped, profiled, abused and torn” in the middle of an illegal repression of immigration in the city and in certain parts of the county.
The double champion of World Series expressed his feelings about the immigration and customs raids (ICE) (ICE’s) during last week which led to hundreds of arrests and triggered riots in some parts of Los Angeles. Hernandez made no mention of the violence that took place against the agents of the police.

“I may not have been born and raised, but this city adopted me as one of their own,” he wrote on Instagram. “I am saddened and furious by what is happening in our country and our city. Los Angeles and Dodger fans welcomed me, supported me and showed me that kindness and love.
“This is my second house. And I cannot bear to see our community being raped, profiled, mistreated and torn. All people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.”
Anti-immigration demonstrations began on June 7 and June 8, the demonstrations became violent. The agitators pulverized the walls and vehicles with the words “F — Ice”, autonomous vehicles were burnt down and the agents responsible for the application of laws were bombed with rocks and other objects in the paramount district. Later in the week, the stores in downtown Los Angeles were looted.

President Donald Trump immediately deployed the National Guard in the region where the problems started, which aroused criticism from the Democrats insisting that their presence would only degenerate tensions.
Ice organized several high -level raids across the country as part of the president’s campaign promise to make mass deportations. Trump promised to prioritize illegal criminal immigrants, but criticisms allege that the administration separates families and targets non -criminal workers.

Trump has since doubled his ice support in Los Angeles and called on ice officers to extend their efforts to other cities.
