ICE at LAX: Undercover federal agents arrest woman at Los Angeles International Airport, video shows
KABC ^ | October 4, 2026

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles World Airports is responding to reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents operating at Los Angeles International Airport.

Cellphone video recorded Friday night shows federal law enforcement agents arresting a woman and placing her into a truck.

In the video, an Eyewitness is heard asking the agents why they are taking the woman, to what one of them responds "immigration violation". The woman is then heard saying "I'm not doing anything wrong."

Airport officials said federal agencies handle their own independent investigations and that airport operations are continuing as normal.

The reported activity comes as ICE is making a nationwide push to set records for the most arrests by the agency in a single month.

The agency's arrest numbers for September have not been made public.

Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department said it is preparing to revoke up to 200,000 travel visas for people who applied for asylum in the United States.

No additional information was immediately available.

“Los Angeles World Airports is responding to reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents operating at Los Angeles International Airport.”

What’s to respond for? ICE didn’t need any help.

All of them will holler “I’m not doing anything wrong!”.
That’s because most of them do not feel that violating American border and immigration laws should be categorized as a ‘real’ crime. Feelings alone don’t change the law.

As someone who has been ‘invited’ into small rooms at both a US and a foreign international airports, I’m shocked, shocked, that there are customs and immigration officials at an international port of entry.

Is that like trying to beat the single-season Home Run record? I hope they get a bonus payment for breaking the record. Do they have district competitions?

Every criminal always says “I didn’t do it!”

When was the last time one said “Ya got me, copper!”?

I got “arrested” by the Red Guard in China for violating a bridge space. My interpreter and I walked under a railroad bridge in Yunnan Province back in 1976. That was a security no-no. I was held by the 15-16 year old “Guard” for 20 minutes with my interpreter while they tried to determine whether to shoot me or let me go. Fortunately, things went my way.

“I didnt do anything wrong”

As long as illegal alien advocates and sympathetic liberals can separate "I did something illegal" and "I committed a crime" in their heads, this will continue.

It's like devout Catholics voting for democrats who advocate abortion. Or being a Catholic politician who promotes and votes for abortion.

Apparently to people like this woman arrested at LAX, what she did (enter the country illegally, and/or refuse to leave when ordered to do so) is much less a crime than jaywalking on a residential street with no traffic or being 5 MPH over the posted speed limit. For these people, the out-of-bounds markers are fuzzy and flexible. It has to be a reflection of their overall moral values.

Yep. Noticed. Alot different from stating ‘I’m here legally! Here’s proof!’

You never see video of an ICE arrest without at least one social justice warrior barking idiocy at the agents conducting the arrest. 🙄

"arresting a woman and placing her into a truck."

That's the disgusting. Everyone knows that the protocol is to put her in a helicopter, and give her a one way ride over the ocean.

The woman is then heard saying "I'm not doing anything wrong."

I've watched 7,163 YouTube videos of women getting arrested. That exact phrase is used at least once in every one of those 7,163 videos.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.’’

First cousin to ‘’Dindu’’.

“Dindu Nuffin’’.
