Fear of immigration raids turns California community into ghost town

Huntington Park, California, a working-class community of more than 50,000 people, has recently felt like it has a bullseye on its back because of ramped-up raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The town is 95.6% Latino, and as many as 45% of the residents are undocumented, according to the city.
City Council member Jonathan Sanabria, who grew up in Huntington Park, says the local community is scared.
"We are a target for them because we know that they are stereotyping and they're racially profiling us. And they're targeting folks that look like me," he said.
Sanabria took a CBS News crew to Pacific Boulevard, the city's main commercial thoroughfare. The once-vibrant city center was eerily quiet.
