AID AGAINST ICE
On December 6 for persons were abducted by ICE in HB. One may have been released. Because of this continued outrage an organization has been formed to provide assistance. A grassroots volunteer group called HB Aid has sought to reduce the number of ICE kidnappings. HB Aid is a group of dedicated Huntington Beach volunteers who organize community watches and mutual aid for our immigrant neighbors. Each morning, different members of this group meet in the Home Depot parking lot on Warner and Goldenwest to provide coffee, snacks, and conversation to the day workers.
HB Aid is not affiliated with Home Depot in any way, yet they do sit with the day workers each day. If abductions occur, volunteers can act as witnesses whose accounts can help those abducted. HB Aid is also present at car washes and stands with local street vendors. The group provides aftercare by notifying families, connecting them to legal aid, providing emotional support, and connecting them to food and rent resources.
According to these activists, it is believed that these eyewitness accounts are an actual deterrent to ice raids, and these hubs have been shown to decrease the number of raids or the number of kidnappings that may happen.
If you want to help this group as they support the day workers, you can contact them on Instagram at HB.aid or donate through their Venmo account. They use donations to provide food, gas money, and other needed resources for those who are at risk of being abducted.

IMMIGRATION ISSUES
In defiance of state law, the HB City Council voted to declare HB to be a "non-sancuary" city.
