Hundreds gathered at San Jose City Hall to support immigrant rights following recent ICE raids in Los Angeles. Organizers called for unity and peaceful resistance. City leaders, including council member Pamela Campos and Peter Ortiz, emphasized the need for emergency funding to assist undocumented families facing legal challenges. Mayor Mahan urged peaceful protests to maintain focus on the issue at hand, while community members expressed their hopes for the future of their children in this uncertain climate of fear and suppression.
"When they get here, cause I don't think it's a matter of if, we're all going to be standing together to fight this together," Tran said.
"We will meet their violent acts of suppression with peaceful resistance," Campos said.
"This is about survival, it's about justice, it's about showing up when our people are under attack," Ortiz said.
"I just sincerely hope that those who are at a point of anger that they want to go beyond that they will not take the bait," Mahan said.
