From the LA Times:
[quote]The ‘Mexican Beverly Hills’ reels from Trump immigration raids, forcing some to carry passports Downey has long been known to some as the “Mexican Beverly Hills.” But the southeast L.A. County city of more than 110,000 people has been roiled this week by Trump immigration raids in Southern California, sparking both fear and outrage. The downtown Downey area, which had already been hurting amid a tenuous economy, is now a ghost town.
Who knew?

I clicked the thread to be assured that there was a Carpenters reference. DL/OP did not disappoint.

lol we JUST had this exact same conversation when we got that LA Times push alert. Born and raised in LA and I’ve never once heard that term.
Black Beverly Hills to me growing up was always Ladera Heights.
