Federal agents took groups of people suspected of immigration law violations into custody at several places near downtown Los Angeles on Friday, as protesters clashed with authorities and agents tossed at least a dozen flash-bang grenades into the crowds.

There were reports of raids being carried out in the downtown LA Fashion District and other areas, including Pico-Union and Cypress Park. Angelica Salas of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights said there were at least seven immigration raids held across the region Friday, many of them at workplaces, including a doughnut shop.

Mayor Karen Bass and local law enforcement and government officials strongly objected in public statements, noting that LA is a sanctuary city.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Love to see the raids! Waited over 40 years for them!

Telling quotes at the end of the article from Los Angeles law enforcement and the Mayor about being a sanctuary city for illegal aliens and that they don't support enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Get rid of the shields with the strobe lights in them. It’s not a good look. The raging mob is too busy to be noticing them.

Mob size estimated at 200; ICE could probabably have increased their haul if they had checked ids in the crowd.

I note that the local president of the SEIU was detained as part of the raids.. I wonder if the union can be held liable for employing an illegal...

I don’t know who the guys are who are conducting these raids/arrests, but based on the videos I’ve seen they do not play around and they have an extreme amount of confidence in what they’re doing.

Should do another census in a year or two and see how many blue states drop some delegates.

It’s time for ICE to arm themselves and start engaging with a little self defense with these illegal alien primate protesters when they get froggy and want to jump. Remember! America IS NOT THEIR COUNTRY. It is ours.

Agree, do it NOW.

If I recall correctly Federal law supersedes. If so, maybe Mayor Bass should be charged with a felony.

And what was that trip to Africa in the middle of a crisis in LA? She’s a low wattage bulb, a dullard DEI hire - she is incapable of effectively serving the people of LA.

Seal off CA and let them be their own country. Let them deal with their love of moral corruption.
