FEATURING MIRIAM ARGHANDIWAL – It has been just over a year since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents invaded Los Angeles en masse, launching a campaign of terror and violence against immigrant communities. On June 6 and 7, 2025, more than 200 ICE agents swarmed the parking lot of a Home Depot store in Paramount, an LA-area city, and battled community activists who were ready for their assault. In the wake of that inciting incident, coalitions were formed and strengthened even as 700 plus people were kidnapped and disappeared by ICE.
Miriam Arghandiwal is an organizer with Boycott Home Depot Coalition and Labor for Palestine. She spoke with Sonali Kolhatkar about the successes of the anti-ICE movement in LA over the past year.
