Calif. resident calls 911, mistaking Border Patrol operation for break-in
Briefly

Sacramento County residents reported armed, masked individuals entering homes, leading to numerous calls to 911. The first report came at 7:47 a.m. from a Home Depot parking lot. Law enforcement responded but found no evidence of criminal activity. The U.S. Border Patrol later warned local authorities of enforcement actions nearby. Reports of a possible break-in were determined to be related to this operation. Sacramento County Sheriff's Office emphasized their commitment to protect residents and clarified that they did not assist Border Patrol due to California's Senate Bill 54.
At around 7:47 a.m., a caller reported a group of armed and masked people in the parking lot of Home Depot on Florin Road, triggering fears of violent crime.
Deputies found the lot empty but were flagged down by a woman who indicated that her husband had possibly been arrested, raising concerns in the community.
The U.S. Border Patrol notified local law enforcement that federal agents were conducting enforcement action in the area shortly after the initial 911 calls.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office clarified that they did not assist with the Border Patrol operations due to Senate Bill 54, which limits local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
