Latino run club forced to relocate its planned 5K run in Crenshaw (Los Angeles) after some in the black community threatened to call ICE on them if they showed up.
Crenshaw residents are calling it "disrespectful" that Barrio Athletics said it was "taking over" Crenshaw.
"We don't want you to come into Africa Town… you will be met with resistance from the black community," one social media user said.
Following the backlash, Barrio Athletics has moved the run from Leimert Park to Elysian Park (FOX 11).
