Los Angeles – Iris Delgado has started a club in its Latin to a large extent, and the outskirts of Los Angeles two years ago to connect the contestants and defend safety measures such as cross -corridors and designated biking corridors.
Now, with the Trump administration immigration raids that vibrate Huntington Park, the group’s logo of maintaining the safety of each other has taken a greater meaning.
Instagram from Huntington Park Run Club holds scenes of federal immigration agent scenes. One of the Marshal is accompanied by the bike each meeting, and the contestants exceeded his electrical bike to ensure that everyone is calculated and a sense of contentment. Since these raids have increased this summer, Delgado also brings bulletins and cards to every operation to inform people and local companies of their rights.
Less miles north of its way is a home warehouse that has been exposed to his cars several times through immigration raids, which caused the second high school to enter the graduation ceremony in June. A few blocks south are the house where a woman and her two children were sleeping when the federal agents used explosives that exploded the door and shattered windows. They were looking for a man who was wanted to formulate his car in a customs vehicle and US borders during a protest. Since then the case has been rejected.
In the midst of everything, Huntington Park Ran is working in an attempt to protect and restore the streets that the contestants call home.
Evelyn Romo, 25, who joined the club after returning home from the college, said only the exit to run is a statement in society.
She said: “The continuation of eating space even in the form of running in these streets is a form of protest, is a form of resistance.”
The club never canceled. Deljado said it is important to keep people to attend, dismantle pressure, and feel safe.
Delgado works twice a week with her group. On the last Wednesday, it led about 30 runners in the bombs, then they were flowing in front of it and behind it, and their feet hit the pavement in a quick sequence. The group members range from young people from 11 to people in the 1960s and 1970s.
Deljado said that its club members reflect the largest society and that they do not share the status of immigration to the participants.

Padilla, who was born and raised in Huntington Park, said that every person in society felt the effects of raids, regardless of the migration. Some of his friends were concerned about allowing them to hang in public places such as the park, and others told him that it was very dangerous to run by immigration “hot sites”.
Sabah recalled breakfast at high school, when he and his friends heard screaming and screaming while armed immigration officers were overcoming the doors of the school.
He said: “Some people have chosen to be hidden … but it is paradoxes for our group, we have already decided to do the opposite.”
The club has made many donations to collect donations to the Community Fund, as it raised about $ 8,000 so far to support the final workers in the Home Depot stores, which has long been legally illegal and illegal workers’ jobs in the country. Now the sites are The main goal of immigration agents.
Deljado said that it is part of society, the contestants bearing the responsibility of alerting people to the raids and documenting them with their phones. The club hosted training on how to do this safely and inform the contestants who call if they see something. Some club members said that they witnessed raids while running on their own, and soon told Deljado or sent group chat messages.
“Our main value is to keep each other safe and search for each other,” said Deljado. “This agreement is part of our culture at this stage.”
