For those who can’t protest locally but still want to help, a redditor provided a great suggestion. Call your representative and tell them they need to step in. The more people that contact their reps, the better. Here’s a link you can use to find your representative

![What just happened in LA could have been prevented or at least made much more difficult. We do not have to wait for the next outrage. We can act now.
Go to this link to find your state senator and/or assembly member and demand action:

Click on their hyperlink which will take you to their website, then scroll all the way down to their contact info and phone numbers.
Ideally, call their district office. Wait until Monday so you have a better chance of speaking to a staffer.
Over the weekend it will mostly be voicemail, which is still useful, and you can also follow up with an email.
Just to be clear, this wouldn't ban ICE from enforcing immigration law altogether. It would require them to have a judicial warrant before conducting enforcement actions on property owned or managed by the state or local government. That includes public schools, libraries, hospitals, sidewalks maintained by the city, and public transit areas. This is completely legal and consistent with California's existing sanctuary policies like SB 54.
Here's a script you can say:
"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I'm a resident of [Your City or ZIP Code].
I'm calling because I'm extremely upset about the recent ICE raids in Los Angeles. They appear to be racially motivated and are causing fear in our communities](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:stz7q6avqedzrh6tctwtaywm/bafkreieuouqateoxabt3yejq4mbeqqt4loikprcg33hmzpziyhb4l3ksry)

I'm asking [Senator/Assemblymember] [Last Namel to consider introducing or supporting legislation that would ban all ICE enforcement actions on public property without a judicial warrant. That includes places like sidewalks, schools, hospitals, and transit areas.
We need stronger protections for Californians. Please let [Senator/Assemblymember] [Last Name] know this matters to me, and I'll be following what action they take.
Thank you."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:stz7q6avqedzrh6tctwtaywm/bafkreig5lx7wo447c2mreolwtgf5e2oegpdyfzbtjry5m4xbmvdj2gotqe)
