Liberal Los Angeles residents were outraged as ICE agents with bulletproof vests spent the Fourth of July holiday continuing to carry out Donald Trump's mass deportation promise.
One video showed a raid at a West Hollywood car wash, showing a man who alleged to have been in the country for 30 years.
His son, who had been alerted to the raid, was left asking: 'Why? My dad is not a criminal. He was working at a car wash on 4th of July.'
'My dad came to work today on the Fourth of July. He loves his country. We've been here as long as I've been around,' the son, who wouldn't identify himself, added.
The owner of the Santa Palm Car Wash was reportedly in the bathroom when the raid happened and enraged that he had not been informed.
They told NBC Los Angeles that they arrested several people who have worked at the car wash for decades in the span of ten minutes at around 11am.
Another employee was seen being tackled in a nearby alley.
The city of West Hollywood issued a statement criticizing federal officials for the holiday raid.

ROFL!! “You can’t take that illegal while he’s washing my car!! Don’t you know who I am??”
Now they can all go back to Mexico.
I can’t think of a better day of the year than July 4th to kick out/arrest illegal immigrants.
This is bad PR.
If there were Cartel members, gang members, etc., at the Car Wash, then ICE should say so in a press conference. Don’t let the Left spin it.
90% of the public supports getting rid of terrorists and criminals, so that should be the focus.
hey you cant arrest them
they are not illegal illegals
Any time. Any place.
They better get over to Springfield first thing when the free ride expires and get those voodoo goofballs before they scatter to the winds.
agreed...fear helps inspire self-deportees
First, many in my crowd worked at the car wash when we were young and we had those jobs taken by the illegals, second, stories like this can seem like bad press, but all these scare stories are the ones encouraging the illegals to self deport to avoid the nasty surprise of suddenly being taken away for good, and also because it is better to sell their cars and material goods and say goodbye to social relationships, and leave on their own terms rather than just lose them when they are suddenly removed from society.
These stories are the ones the illegals and potential illegals around the globe, need to hear and talk about.
If you’ve been here “for decades” and you still haven’t gotten US citizenship, then that’s a clue that you’re playing us. I’m sick of America being taken advantage of and disrespected by the world. Imagine how great our country would be if we weren’t such suckers.

You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it’s better than diggin’ a ditch
I always assume important details are omitted from these “tear jerker” stories.
Maybe they know something more. I think in most cases they are prioritizing violent criminals.
Well that is true
And if you dig into these cases you'll learn that most of the people who have been her for decades were ordered to deport decades ago. They just never left.
American citizens can’t tolerate and will not tolerate being systematically displaced economically in the only country they are legally allowed to live and work in.
Before the 65 immigration bill really took off all those jobs were done by Americans, and even up to recently in states that were unaffected by immigration, and even now in small towns where it hasn’t reached yet, all the work gets done in restaurants, motels, yards, and around the town, everything gets done.
