Dozens of heavily armed federal agents in military-style gear conducted an apparent immigration enforcement operation on Monday morning in Los Angeles’s MacArthur Park, provoking outrage from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who quickly arrived on the scene of the raid.
“Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through,” she wrote on X, sharing a video of about 20 officers, including some on horseback, marching through the park. “The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.”
