The Department of Homeland Security initiated an unexpected operation to enforce immigration regulations in Los Angeles on Wednesday, resulting in the arrest of 16 undocumented immigrants linked to a region that federal authorities claim is under the influence of MS-13 gang control.
Named “Operation Trojan Horse,” the raid commenced at approximately 7 a.m. near a Home Depot located on Wilshire Boulevard by MacArthur Park — the same site where a previous sweep in June attracted national attention, as reported by Fox News LA.
Footage from the scene depicts federal agents emerging from the rear of a Penske moving truck and rushing towards a group of individuals congregated near a street food vendor. The crowd promptly dispersed as agents approached.
