In a significant immigration operation, federal agents executed a raid at a Home Depot in Westlake, Los Angeles, utilizing a rented Penske truck as a deceptive means to ambush individuals. The operation, which led to the detention of 16 immigrants, has drawn sharp criticism from local officials and advocacy groups, particularly as it seemingly defied a court order restricting such raids. The event has reignited fears among residents about the return of aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, prompting protests against the actions of federal agents. Local leaders have voiced their concerns about the implications of these tactics, which they argue are reminiscent of practices used by white nationalists, raising questions about the legality and morality of the operation.
