Overview

• Multiple Southeast LA County cities including Cudahy, Bell Gardens and Huntington Park have shelved their July 3 and 4 festivities without setting new dates.
• Downtown organizers postponed the Gloria Molina Grand Park summer block party and the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation canceled the East LA Rockin’ 4th of July.
• Official statements attribute the curtailments to safety concerns and an “abundance of caution” after elevated ICE operations under President Trump’s sanctuary city directives.
• The suspensions disrupt traditional gatherings in predominantly Latino neighborhoods and threaten revenue for local vendors and community groups.
• Officials and residents remain on edge with no clear timeline for resuming events as federal enforcement activities continue.
