Federal agents carried out a major immigration raid in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, despite objections from Mayor Karen Bass, who appeared at the scene in protest.
“We are with hundreds of federal agents and military as a massive federal immigration enforcement operation is underway in the MacArthur Park area of the sanctuary city of Los Angeles, an area with heavy MS-13 influence,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin noted on the X platform.
“Mayor Bass has demanded raids stop, Feds respond with one of the largest yet, including Border Patrol agents on horseback. Protesters already showing up,” he added.
Melugin also shared a video of Bass speaking with a Border Patrol agent, who seemed to call someone and then handed the phone to her.
