Raids by federal immigration agents have surged at Home Depot parking lots in Los Angeles, causing panic among day laborers. Despite a temporary restraining order aimed at preventing racial profiling, raids have intensified in recent weeks. A significant incident occurred on August 6, leading to multiple arrests when Border Patrol agents targeted laborers. Activist Pablo Alvarado noted that Home Depot has become the epicenter of these operations, which highlight the ongoing conflict over immigration enforcement in the region. The fear surrounding these events reflects broader tensions in Southern California communities.
Home Depot has emerged this summer as a key battleground in the fight over immigration enforcement in Los Angeles and Southern California.
The renewed burst of raids outside neighborhood Home Depots began Aug. 6, when a man drove a Penske moving truck to a Home Depot in Westlake and began soliciting day laborers.
