Heavily armed immigration agents descend on #MacArthurPark in #LosAngeles
By Melissa Gomez, Rachel Uranga, Brittny Mejia, Richard Winton and Ruben Vives
July 7, 2025 12:16 PM PT"Dozens of immigration agents, some on horseback, others carrying rifles in armored vehicles, swept through MacArthur Park on Monday in an extraordinary show of force at the heart of Los Angelesโ #immigrant community.
"Heavily armored #BorderPatrol officers with a fleet of white minibuses partially blocked the streets surrounding the park, which has become a source of crime and drugs in the area in the last few years. #Activists with megaphones were able to warn locals at the park before the contingent arrived, according to police sources.
"The move comes days after President Trump signed a budget that will provide a mass infusion of funds to the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up its immigration enforcement to levels unseen before in the United States. Los Angeles has become the poster child of Trumpโs mass deportation plan, as more than 1,600 people have been arrested between June 6 and 22.
"The agents appeared to arrive around 10:30 a.m. after amassing at nearby locations. Once they were at the park, they were met with crowds of people screaming 'get the fโ out!' and 'get out!' #MayorKarenBass also showed up to the park, which sits just west of downtown Los Angeles. Activists, who have been on high alert for weeks, appeared to be prepared to deploy lawyers to the scene.
"At some point, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent David Kim handed his cellphone to Bass. Speaking to the other person over the line she could be heard saying, 'Youโre getting ready to leave? Can you leave ASAP?'
"Demonstrators began to chant, drowning out her conversation. When asked to comment, Bass said the federal immigration agents needed 'to leave and they need to leave right now, they need to leave because this is unacceptable.'
"When asked who she was talking to on the other end of the line she said it was 'the head of customs.'
"Bass handed the phone back to a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Shortly afterward, she boarded a black SUV and left the area.
"Itโs unclear if anyone was arrested during the sweep.
" 'This was just one big, perverse publicity stunt,' said #RonGochez, a member of #UniรณnDelBarrio, an independent political organization advocating for immigrant rights and social justice. 'It was just to show force, it was just to take pictures.'
"The chaos on #WilshireBoulevard around MacArthur Park had mostly calmed by 11:30 a.m., though a few protesters and members of the news media lingered afterward.
"Mikema Nahmir, 28, said he was out for his morning walk at 11 a.m. when he saw two women running down the street yelling that '#LaMigra' was at MacArthur Park.
"Nahmir joined the group of #protesters who chased and yelled after the #military-style trucks. At one point, he said, someone from the truck shot out an #irritant toward him and another protester.
" 'L.A. is ours, this is our city,' Nahmir said. 'This is what my morning walk turned into. Theyโre terrorizing our neighborhood.'
"Live video from the scene Monday morning broadcast on social media showed a line of white vans that have been used to transport arrestees as well as several agents on horseback. Agents cleared the scene by 11:20 a.m. and it was not immediately clear how many people they had taken into custody.
"U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino, who has been leading the operations on the ground in Los Angeles, was present during the operation.
"Bovino, who is based near the U.S.-Mexico border along with others in the Trump administration, was sued last week by immigrant rights groups seeking to block what it calls an 'ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the #Constitution and federal law' during immigration raids. They say raids have targeted individuals based on race, lack #DueProcess and some practices are akin to #kidnapping rather than legal enforcement. A hearing is set for later this week in federal court.
"Asked for comment on whether any arrests had been made, a senior DHS official, said, 'We donโt comment on ongoing enforcement operations.' "

Bumperkleven was jarenlang de grootste irritatie in het verkeer, maar dat is niet meer. Ook bewust een file voorbij rijden en dan extreem laat invoegen heeft het niet geschopt tot de grootste irritatie. Wat dan wel? Volgens de ANWB is dat nu het onnodig blijven plakken op de linker-...

Sturende poll bij de #gelderlander weer. Of het #statiegeld op #blikjes is mislukt. En tuurlijk zegt de meerderheid ja. Waarom? Waarschijnlijk omdat ze het #irritant vinden om te moeten wachten of zo? Ze vergeten alleen dat het het #milieu ten goede komt. Of zouden we al zo gewend zijn aan #troep in de #natuur dat we dat normaal vinden ?

Ben ik in mijn recht als ik de #wijkagent inschakel voor #overlast van een blaffende #hond een paar straten verder? Da's echt elke dag, bijna de hele dag en vaak ook 's avonds laat dat dat beestje buiten zit te #blaffen. Niet alleen verschrikkelijk #irritant maar ook echt heel erg #zielig voor die hond, zeker nu het echt #koud wordt buiten.
Ik voel mij precies zo'n "Karen" als ik contact opneem met de wijkagent ๐ฌ
