Federal agents were taking people — presumably suspected immigration law violators — into custody Friday outside a Home Depot in the Westlake District of Los Angeles.
Agents from what appeared to be multiple law enforcement agencies could be seen escorting men in handcuffs into vehicles outside the home improvement supply store at 1675 Wilshire Blvd. Friday morning.
People often gather at such stores looking for temporary work, and agents may have taken the opportunity to confront them in accordance with President Donald Trump‘s crackdown on illegal immigration. He has vowed to wage the most extensive deportation effort in U.S. history.
Los Angeles police say they were not involved in any immigration enforcement operation in the area but did respond to an assault with a deadly weapon report in the Westlake District about 9 a.m., but quickly cleared the scene after finding no evidence of an assault.
