Surprise operations, raids on car washes, displays of force in public parks, and racial profiling in Home Depot parking lots have occurred across the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Trump administration reported reaching 5,000 arrests for deportation purposes in Los Angeles over three months. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem celebrated the milestone, warned of continued enforcement, and thanked Border Patrol and ICE. The government framed the deportations as removing dangerous criminals and cited detainees with criminal records such as Gustavo Garcia-Miranda. The Mexican Consulate interviewed 641 detainees between June 6 and August 20 and reported that 24% had already been deported to Mexico.
Surprise operations, raids on car washes, displays of force in public parks, and racial profiling in Home Depot parking lots throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The terror that the Donald Trump administration has spread among the city's migrant communities has begun to bear the fruits promised in the campaign. This week, the government boasted of having reached 5,000 arrests for deportation purposes in Los Angeles, one of the main sanctuary cities in the United States.
Make no mistake: if you are here illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and send you back. This is just the beginning, the official threatened. Noem thanked the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their work. These are the primary forces that have carried out the arrests and, in turn, have had the support of other federal agencies.
