Back in February, the community of the Inland Empire, a vast tract of land east of Los Angeles generally encompassing San Bernardino and Riverside Counties,
marched on the Border Patrol's Riverside office to demand an end to the racist quota system and family separation. Things quieted down, but only temporarily. Recently, quotas have been increased, and attacks on day labor corners, bus stations, and even on buses in transit have caught numerous individuals who are accused of being in the country without authorization. In the course of these raids, numerous abuses have occurred. Agents often engage in racial profiling and intimidation, and at least one minor was deported without his parents being informed.
