Thousands of people in LA took to the streets on Sunday to
00:03
protest President Donald Trump's plan for mass deportations.
00:05
They stood on business and on the 101 to be exact.
00:09
They did. Then the next day,
00:12
a day without immigrants protests went down and we sent our girl
00:14
Daniela out to investigate.
00:16
It's Monday, February 3rd,
00:17
and it is a day without immigrants.
00:25
questa we're processing because my mom's an immigrant,
00:26
you know, we're upset.
00:28
These people deserve your help.
00:29
You people need to come out here and you need to be
00:31
able to support people like this in illegal loss for the people
00:40
that don't got a voice,
00:41
we're the fucking voice.
00:42
We're the next generation.
00:43
Viva Mexico. Yeah.
00:48
I All right, you are a friend of the show,
00:53
and here we run into you.
00:54
Why are you out here today?
00:55
I'm out here for Mexicanos.
00:58
We got to be outside.
00:59
We got to show them who's really boss and who's really in
01:01
charge. This is how we talk to Donald Trump.
01:12
You guys are the engine to the oil of this entire economy
01:17
Everyone's important here,
01:18
no one's illegal on stolen land,
01:20
point blank period. OK?
01:21
That's how it is.
01:22
Thank you very much.
01:23
I'm so happy to see mi gente showing up.
01:26
Like that was just beautiful.
01:28
And honestly, like I love how Chocolate Uno was there.
01:33
You remember? He's an ally for sure through and through again
01:36
like we had him here in the studio shows the dance
01:38
moves and then Daniella went out there and literally just bumped into
01:40
him like yeah and he's all dancing and everyone's all hyped.
01:43
Yeah, it's so cool to see the community,
01:45
you know, show up and like protest together peacefully because then
01:49
into the night, people start to pull up doing donuts,
01:52
he put this madre,
01:54
and so then the police had to get involved,
01:56
you know, with the riot gear and arrests were made and
01:59
It just sucks because people that wanna do this peacefully and again
02:02
just spread awareness like it kind of undoes it because like then
02:06
I know the right and the Trump is gonna be like,
02:08
see that's why like you can't protest like there's always something and
02:11
say no like it was fine like Sunday and even Monday during
02:15
the day but. I don't know what some people are thinking
02:19
and they're just like,
02:20
let me go in there and fuck it,
02:24
yes, you know,
02:25
and even a car got into a car accident doing donuts,
02:28
and then, yeah,
02:28
and then again it puts everyone at risk and then now they
02:30
probably, you know what you can't protest here,
02:32
here, here because It's not safe for people that want to
02:37
protest might not feel as comfortable now because again,
02:39
the safety of others is like.
02:41
That one guy is.
02:43
I don't know.
