Several Fourth of July events in Los Angeles have been postponed or canceled this year as federal immigration officials detain and work to deport illegal aliens in the region.
Los Angeles, which is a sanctuary city prohibiting local resources for cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, has indeed reacted strongly against such efforts, observing protests and riots targeted at Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers last month.
As tensions continue, the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation has postponed a summer movie and concert series, as well as canceled a Fourth of July celebration in East Los Angeles.
