In Los Angeles and around the United States, millions of undocumented migrants are retreating into the shadows as President Donald Trump’s decision to further militarize his crackdown intensifies enforcement. With each new operation, fear sweeps through communities that have long lived on the margins.
As CGTN’s Franc Contreras reports, many are turning to underground safe houses supported by legal residents who oppose the immigration policy. From private homes to community centers, volunteers are offering shelter, food, and guidance, forming a grassroots network of solidarity.
These clandestine refuges highlight the deepening divide in neighborhoods across the country. For those in hiding, safe houses are more than a hiding spot—they’re a lifeline amid escalating fear and uncertainty.
