The riots had numerous detrimental outcomes for many Latinas/os in metropolitan Los Angeles. In the weeks after the riots, the federal response consisted of thousands of military troops, the first time such as military response within the U.S. since the late 1960s. In addition, close to one thousand federal law enforcement officers were dispatched, from which about 400 hundred of them (almost 50 percent) were border patrol agents.
Along with local police agencies, the Border Patrol proceeded to aggressively patrol the predominantly Latina/o communities in and around the areas of rioting. Departing from official policy, LAPD and other police agencies arrested over 1,000 unauthorized immigrants, most of them Latinas/os. These represented 10 percent of all riot-related arrests. These detainees were handled over to the INS (now ICE) for deportation to Mexico and Central America.
Many of migrants were arrested simply for being out in the streets after the curfew. They were denied legal counsel and pressured into signing voluntary repatriation agreements. Thus, the legal and civil rights of these immigrants were completely suspended during the L.A. uprising. The over-policing of Latina/o communities in the aftermath of the 1992 social eruption, which sought to identify and deport unauthorized immigrants in Los Angeles, preceded the anti-immigrant political campaign of Proposition 187. Thus, showing the extensive anti-immigrant policies that have been part and parcel of the history of California.
