A LA art campaign projects portraits of detained immigrants to spotlight the human impact of federal raids.

A public art campaign called “Am I Next?” is projecting portraits of Los Angeles residents, including activists Edward James Olmos and George Takei, on city buildings to highlight the human toll of federal immigration raids. The initiative, led by the California Community Foundation, displays images of people detained during sweeps—some while waiting for a bus or on a lunch break—amid over 5,000 arrests since June. The project, which includes digital art installations at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, aims to raise awareness about the fear and disruption caused by raids targeting migrant workers in Southern California. Organizers say the campaign, continuing until enforcement ends, underscores that threats to immigrant rights affect everyone.
