On June 24th, a LGBTQ+ Latina couple, their children, and their grandchildren were unjustly endangered and harassed in their home by Homeland Security officers who refused to identify themselves or provide a judicial warrant. The officers attempted to break into their apartment unit, ignoring the pleas of the women and children inside the home. With the support of the surrounding community, the agents were driven away, but the incident has left the family fearing for their ongoing safety, unable to work or even leave their home.

This incident has plunged a multigenerational family into crisis. One member of the family, pregnant at the time of the incident, has especially been impacted. She and her child are experiencing paralyzing levels of stress, as the officers' attempted break-in caused her to fall twice on her pregnant belly. Her mental and physical health have taken tolls as the fear of being ripped away from loved ones prevented her from accessing necessary and timely health services despite her pregnancy and severe pain from the falls.

Since the incident, the family has been struggling to sustain enough income to meet their essential living expenses, including rent, groceries, and diapers. Drowning in unpaid rent, the family is at high risk of losing their home and beloved Highland Park community.

Please support us in raising emergency funds to help this loving family keep their home and safe space! Once they're able to restore their own stability, they want to share any excess funds with other families like theirs who have been impacted by the immigration crisis in Los Angeles.

En Español: El 24 de junio, una pareja latina LGBTQ+, sus hijos y sus nietos fueron injustamente puestos en peligro y acosados en su hogar por agentes del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional que se negaron a identificarse o mostrar una orden judicial. Los agentes intentaron forzar la entrada a su apartamento, ignorando las súplicas de las mujeres y niños dentro del hogar. Con el apoyo del vecindario, los agentes fueron expulsados, pero el incidente ha dejado a la familia temiendo por su seguridad continua, incapaces de trabajar o incluso salir de su casa.

Este incidente ha puesto a una familia multigeneracional en crisis. Un miembro de la familia, embarazada al momento del incidente, ha sido especialmente afectada. Ella y su hijo están experimentando niveles paralizantes de estrés, ya que el intento de entrada forzada de los agentes la hizo caer dos veces sobre su vientre embarazado. Su salud mental y física se han visto afectadas, ya que el miedo de ser separada de sus seres queridos le impidió acceder a servicios de salud necesarios y oportunos a pesar de su embarazo y el dolor severo de las caídas.

Desde el incidente, la familia ha estado luchando para mantener suficientes ingresos para cubrir sus gastos de vida esenciales, incluyendo alquiler, comestibles y pañales. Ahogándose en alquiler impago, la familia está en alto riesgo de perder su hogar y su querida comunidad de Highland Park.

¡Por favor, apóyennos en recaudar fondos de emergencia para ayudar a esta familia amorosa a mantener su hogar y espacio seguro! Una vez que puedan restaurar su propia estabilidad, quieren compartir cualquier exceso de fondos con otras familias como la suya que han sido afectadas por la crisis migratoria en Los Ángeles.
