We are ground zero for Trump's war on America, a war on our democracy, on our freedoms, on our rights as Americans.
It is in our backyard today, and it is only a matter of time before it is in yours.
We've received reports of federal law enforcement officers going door to door asking people where the Asian people live, right in our very own city.
I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may try to target me based on what I look like as well.
That is the America that we are living in right now, where people cannot access food, they cannot access health care, they cannot access their basic needs because of the terror, because our cities are under siege.
We need your help, whatever it may be.
I mean, it's purely intimidation tactics, Jen.
I mean, this is Trump further not getting his agenda met and so then what does he do?
He turns around and attacks individual people who are standing up against him.
You know, it's so interesting his perception of what is happening here in ours.
I mean, you know, we have been calling on peaceful protests.
We have been working with our community groups, like the Immigrant Defense Network, who's been teaching constitutional observer training, which means that in that training, you never interfere with ISIS operations.
You use recording to protect the people who are being attacked.
And so, you know, we have been making sure that we are supporting each other as communities, but along ice to move forward with their own operations.
And so, you know, I am really disappointed at what we're seeing and how Trump is targeting us and continuing to target us.
I do.
Actually, I think about the scenario of what happens if somebody forcibly takes you or restrains you.
I thought about what would I say to them.
And clearly telling them that you're an American citizen doesn't matter as you saw testimony from individuals who have been targeted, who have encountered ICE.
So I do think about that scenario.
