A tense standoff unfolded at a Home Depot in Paramount, Los Angeles on Saturday as protesters rallied against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions. The confrontation erupted after federal officials warned of ongoing immigration raids in the area, leading to at least one injury. Protesters, predominantly from the Latino community, voiced their opposition with chants against ICE. This unrest followed a series of arrests linked to immigration violations. Local officials condemned the aggressive approach of ICE, calling for accountability and emphasizing community safety and rights during such operations.
"ICE has brought their terror tactics and masked agents to #Paramount this morning - in my district," wrote U.S. Rep Nanette D. Barragán, whose district includes Paramount, in a post on X. "This is unacceptable. We will demand answers and accountability."
Federal law enforcement operations are proceeding as planned this weekend in Los Angeles County," U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli said on X. "I urge the public to refrain from interfering with these lawful actions."
