🚨 BREAKING – The Los Angeles Tenant Union is demanding taxpayer-funded free rent for illegals claiming fear of deportation prevents them from working, and is urging all renters to withhold payment to pressure city officials into action.
The Los Angeles Tenants Union is calling on city officials to impose a rent moratorium as ongoing immigration enforcement operations continue to “spread fear throughout the region,” according to CBS News.
During a news conference on Tuesday, representatives of the LATU claimed that the presence of officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement has had a noticeable impact on business, as many employees are scared to go to work while operations continue.
Many self-employed immigrants have decided to stay home amid the ongoing situation, choosing to pass on much-needed money in favor of avoiding federal agents, CBS reported.
“We know that many tenants will not be able to pay their rent come July 1,” said one LATU representative, who said she’s undocumented. “Why? Because this militarization of our community … has closed down businesses, taken away street vendors, separated families, and then people cannot pay their rent. They have barely the minimum to survive.”
