Community Calls for Action on Immigration
Garden Grove officials are facing criticism from community members and immigration rights groups for their response to immigration concerns.
Residents have been urging the council to take a stance and create programs in support of non-citizen residents, making up approximately 36% of the city's population.
According to the Census Bureau, about 46.8% of Garden Grove's 171,000 residents emigrated from another country, highlighting the need for concrete action.
Stop acting powerless
Frustrated residents have been calling out city officials for several months, citing a repeated failure to address concerns around immigration, particularly with new enforcement raids in Southern California.
