On February 8, 2025, the Los Angeles Times reported on a “leaked document” that said large-scale immigration enforcement was coming soon to the City of Angels as part of President Trump’s mass deportation effort. More specifically, that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would lead the operation, zeroing in on those without legal status in the U.S. or who have pending orders of removal, and that FBI & DEA agents were being called in to assist.
The next day, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem suggested that the FBI leaked the raid information.
