| June Message from Assemblymember Carrillo |
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
This June, my office has been working hard to respond to urgent issues impacting families in our communities, including the recent ICE raids carried out across Los Angeles. These actions have spread fear among immigrant families and sparked concern across the state. As your representative, I've stood alongside my colleagues to demand accountability, compassion, and a reaffirmation of California's values: dignity, due process, and community safety.
At a time when so many are already facing economic pressures and uncertainty, these raids only deepen the trauma. I want our immigrant neighbors to know: you are not alone. My office is committed to sharing accurate information, lifting up local organizations providing support, and continuing to push for policies that protect our most vulnerable.
June was also a time of celebration and recognition. We honored LGBTQ+ leaders at the State Capitol, marked Juneteenth and Father's Day in the district, and celebrated countless graduates across the Antelope Valley and Victor Valley. At the Capitol, we also crossed the House of Origin deadline-sending our Assembly bills to the Senate for continued progress on the issues that matter most to you.
