Federal officers on horseback Monday morning, July 7, cruised a mostly empty MacArthur Park near downtown Los Angeles. Others in fatigues with helmets and long guns showed up, too.
After an hour or so, they cleared out — defense officials had said some 90 California National Guard members would be there as well in addition to over a dozen military vehicles to help protect immigration officers during a raid at the park.
City officials said they didn’t believe there were any arrests. The Department of Homeland Security wouldn’t say whether anyone had been arrested or what the operation was all about.
Mayor Karen Bass, who has repeatedly voiced opposition to the federal immigration raids in L.A, showed up, joining a small crowd that looked on. Activists filmed the officers.
According to Fox News, Bass talked with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Protection’s Gregory Bovino, chief of the El Centro Sector.
“I don’t work for Karen Bass,” Bovino told Fox. “Better get used to us now, ’cause this is going to be normal very soon. We will go anywhere, anytime we want in Los Angeles.”

Did they capture the cake?
WINNING!
It melted.
I guess that someone left the cake out in the rain.
Bass and Newsom better start representing their American voters — and not the illegal ones.
I don’t think that I can take it.
With the laser pointers focused on that operation, including an appearance from their Swamp mayor, it’d be nice to hear of a big bust up of something in the future that was timed to the exact moment of that newsworthy park visit.
Somebody remembered that song.
I remember it taking up a lot of time on the radio stations at 7:21. Couldn’t hear a couple of other hits during that time.
Jim Webb said he wrote it about seeing the woman who jilted him getting married, including the rain on the cake. He took the song with a full cantata version to the Association, who rejected it.
Richard Harris had a #2 hit with the song. #1 Was Herb Alpert’s This Guy’s In Love With You.
Cuz it took so long to make it.
a show of force in karen bass’s face
she stomped her feet and threatened to hold her breath
she looked really really feckless
Very interesting, thank you.
Cuz it took too long to bake it.
“This Guy’s In Love With You.”
MUCH better.
As was said when she was new on the inferior politicians scene, a bass is supposed to have a hook in it’s mouth when it looks like that.
And I’ll never have that recipe again. AGAINNNN!
Was everyone in the park tipped off to the ICE arrival? Sounds like it if there wasn’t any arrests.
Her still being in office after what she did to LA during the fires tells you everything you need to know about LA. LA is a cesepool full of feckless degenerates who don’t care how the politicians treat them. Now that the BBB has passed I hope
Trump mobilizes huge forces of ICE agents backed up by the military and sweeps the entirety of SOCal and deports hundreds of thousands of illegals. Then move on to Oregon and Washington.
“And I’ll never have that recipe again”...
And I hated that ridiculous song-but still remember the words...
And I’ll never have that recipe again
