June 8, 2025 (El Cajon) -- Latinos en Acción, a group in El Cajon, is led by three mothers who want to make a difference in their diverse community.
 
These three very different women came together with the same goals in mind: to make the people of El Cajon more aware of what is going on.
 
They do this in part by holding rallies where they condemn U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids -- especially those targeting elders -- demand an end to El Cajon Police and ICE cooperation, call out racist visa revocations that target Afghan families and hold city officials accountable. 
 
They want to defend immigrants’ rights and dignity.
