Increasingly aggressive immigration raids carried out by masked federal agents, sometimes using unmarked vehicles, are creating problems for local law enforcement agencies.
Police have little or no insight into where the federal enforcement actions are taking place but often have to deal with the aftermath, including protests and questions from residents about what exactly happened. In some cases, local cops have been mistaken for federal agents, eroding years of work to have immigrant communities trust the police.
In Bell, chaos erupted when masked men arrived at a car wash and began detaining its workers, sparking a confrontation with residents and immigration rights advocates before they were forced to hastily drive over curbs and street islands to escape.
In Pasadena last week, a man stepped out of his unmarked vehicle at an intersection, unholstered his pistol and aimed it at a group of pedestrians before returning to his car, turning on its red and blue emergency lights and speeding off. Video of the incident went viral.

Thanks for the feel good story of the day. đź‘Ť
Enjoy your sanctuary city status, Angelenos……
It’s time for illegals to self deport and for the press to STOP siding with criminals.
They’re masked because Maoists are doxxing them...threatening them and their families. Contrast that to the masks that “progressives” wore when setting cop cars on fire during the summer of 2020.
Actually, disregard my last comment....this looks like a nefarious false flag op to paint immigration as out of control.....thereby forcing them to unmask.
Los Angeles......that gives it away.
“Video of the incident went viral”
And yet the article doesn’t link to this “viral” video.
All of a sudden the LA Slimes, who have long been vocal opponents of the LAPD, are now sympathizing with them because of the ICE raids.
I hope they are BOUNTY HUNTERS. They don’t have to obey the rules.
So much fear has already been sowed that I fear there no fear seeds left to sow the next crop of fear.
Wow, same question a lot of us had about Antifa terrorists a few years ago....
Darn, those crickets are loud.
Viral, as in ‘immeasurably small, cannot be seen without an electron microscope. . . .’ (grin)

It was an invitation for someone to produce an AI fake video. The author doesn’t know how to do that.

Someone is going to get shot
Yep, LA and CA politicians made their choice. They don’t get to choose the consequences.
Can you imagine living your life whereas every day you wondered is this the day the Feds catch up with me?
Oh the DRAMAH!
Exactly. If the idiot politicians in LA had a brain cell none of this would be a problem now.
Bounty hunters, masked unmarked immigration cop, etc. - regardless if it is within the rules (I don’t think it is), jumping out of a vehicle and pointing a weapon at a group of people hanging out on the corner isn’t the best idea.
