Quote:Community organizations in California are calling on the Los Angeles City Council to enact an emergency eviction moratorium, citing widespread fear among illegal immigrants who are avoiding work due to recent federal immigration enforcement actions.

The LA Tenants Union, SEIU 721, and the Coalition of Labor Union Employees held a press conference and rally Tuesday morning, urging city leaders to pass immediate protections for renters affected by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The groups argue that many tenants, particularly in Southern California, may be afraid to go to work or operate street businesses, leaving families unable to make rent, per ABC7.

"We know that many tenants will not be able to pay their rent come July 1st," said Kenia Alcocer with the LA Tenants Union. "Why? Because this militarization of our communities, this occupation of our community, this terrorizing of our communities have closed down businesses, have taken away street vendors, have separated families - and then, people cannot pay their rent. They have barely the minimum to survive."

Supporters of the measure say over 60 percent of Los Angeles residents are renters, and that ICE raids are contributing to a climate of fear that makes it unsafe for many immigrants to earn an income. However, landlord groups have raised concerns about the proposal, warning that such a moratorium could have severe financial consequences for property owners.

"Over 85% of rental property owners in the city of Los Angeles are independent moms and pops who, for the most part, are already struggling to pay their bills," explained Daniel Yukelson, Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, according to ABC7. "I understand that people are very scared and rental property owners are very sympathetic to that. But, as I said, you know, property owners are very dependent on receiving timely rent payments just to make ends meet."

The community groups have also called for a citywide day of action in solidarity with families affected by immigration enforcement, particularly those who have had loved ones detained.

The proposed eviction moratorium would still need to pass through three city council committees before it can be brought to a full council vote.

Stink, your Spanish is as bad as your English. Bwahahaha.

Ok, I giggled.

I don’t know about folks in California but when someone demands something of me, I ignore them. Maybe it’s because I’m old. More likely it’s because I don’t follow orders real well.

When I was a kid, I routinely got "Doesn't play well with others" on my report cards.

True story.
