Federal agents conducted an immigration raid near MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, drawing protests and criticism from Mayor Karen Bass who called the operations „inhumane.“
Federal agents, accompanied by members of the National Guard, were conducting an immigration raid in Los Angeles on Monday, according to images on social media.
The operation targeted an area near MacArthur Park, an area with a large immigrant population, in the city’s Westlake neighborhood, which is heavily Hispanic and has a heavy MS-13 influence.
U.S. Border Patrol agents were seen on horseback in the park.
Mayor Karen Bass, who has been a vocal opponent of immigration raids in the city, appeared at the scene and demanded to speak with ICE leadership.
„They need to leave, and they need to leave right now. They need to leave because this is unacceptable!“ Bass said at the scene.
