A San Fernando Valley community is outraged and devastated after federal immigration agents forced their way onto the grounds of a church during a food giveaway and arrested a man who church officials say helps with children’s ministries.
Church officials stated that “a beloved community member” by the name of Carlos Chavez was arrested. The raid interrupted the church’s food distribution ministry and an event for mothers and children in the church garden.
Speaking to KTLA 5’s Kimberly Cheng, Pastor Aguilon said he was in contact with Chavez’s wife, who said Carlos, the sole provider for their family, has already been deported to Mexico.

LOL!
On the flip-side the community is now a safer more law-abiding place.
But that would get in the way of a good sob story.
He wasn’t attending a service at the time so big whoop.
I’m sure there is much more to this story.
And now a word from their lawyer, Jackie Chiles.
If he only came in lawfully.......
They are real and they are spectacular.
You beat me to it!
Some Monday good news to start your week off on the right foot! Carlos has already been deported to his home country of Mexico. One more illegal alien criminal off American streets!
Hopefully his family will join him soon! It’s important to keep families together.
The article is full of propaganda and quite light on facts. Carlos attempted to evade capture by running onto the church parking lot.
LA brought this on themselves by not cooperating with immigration law enforcement.
Somehow I have a feeling this is all fake news. Don’t think ICE would do this.
“As the agents approached, Carlos froze briefly and then attempted to seek refuge on church grounds,” Medina-Núñez explained. “The agents did not hesitate to chase him, holding large firearms even as someone shouted that they were entering private property and that children, women and elders were present, many of them waiting in line for the food pantry.”
has already been deported to Mexico.
Leaders of the North Hills United Methodist Church-—are really upset that Trump has been taking away the money from the United Methodist Church NGOs that aided and abetted Biden’s importation of millions of illegal aliens.
As they say: Follow the money to find the answer.
What, no liberal judge jumped in to intervene and prevent his deportation?
“As the agents approached, Carlos froze briefly and then attempted to seek refuge on church grounds,”
I guess he thought he was Highlander.
True.
‘LA brought this on themselves by not cooperating with immigration law enforcement.’
That’s absolutely true.
I dont remember commies making a fuss when Obama’s ICE went into schools, malls, restaurants, offices, they went EVERYWHERE and they were fine with it back then..Im convinced if the commie media didnt make such a fuss no one would care
The ICE patriots wouldn’t have had to chase him.
