In an interview with Fox News Digital, Roxanne Hoge, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1976 and gained citizenship in 2000, said that despite the claims of Democrats like Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass to be for the immigrant, their policies are designed to keep Latinos and immigrants down.

Earlier this month, federal agents conducting an immigration enforcement raid at a state-licensed cannabis facility north of Los Angeles found nine unaccompanied migrant children.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said the facility was "under investigation for child labor violations."
He posted a photo to X on Friday afternoon, captioned: "These are the juveniles found in the marijuana facility - almost all unaccompanied, one as young as 14. California are you ready to partner with us to stop child exploitation?"
"This is Newsom’s California," Scott added.
Hoge told Fox News Digital that "as one myself," she believes "what's really important to understand is just how cruel and unfair progressives are to brown people."

Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Newsom and Bass for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Newsom has recently called Trump a "chaos agent" who has "torn asunder" California communities through his administration’s immigration enforcement actions.
The governor claimed Trump’s "cruelty" is "about appearing tough."
