In a recent enforcement operation, federal agents arrested 36 Chinese and Taiwanese nationals at an underground nightclub in Los Angeles. The operation involved multiple agencies, including Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While specific details about the nightclub's location were not disclosed, a related task force, the El Camino Real Financial Crimes Task Force, has played a role in previous financial crimes investigations in Southern California. The arrests raise questions about immigration enforcement and ongoing investigations into transnational networks.
