Juan and several friends huddled in the car park of a hardware store near Los Angeles, where protests have erupted against US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
Typically, their gatherings include dozens of day labourers, many of whom are undocumented immigrants, seeking work from shoppers or contractors.
But on Sunday, only two small pickups advertised that they could help with roofing, repairs or paint jobs outside this branch of Home Depot in the suburb of Paramount, whose population is more than 82% Hispanic.
It was one day after the store became the centre of immigration protests, sparked by rumours that day labourers here had been rounded up and arrested.
Many who live in the community told the BBC they saw immigration enforcement vehicles in the area.
