Residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is condemning the presence of federal agents and National Guard troops who descended on MacArthur Park July 7.

During an afternoon press conference with Bass, City Council member Eunisses Hernandez and Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Bass stated that the raid “was another example of the [Trump] administration ratcheting up chaos by deploying what looked like a military operation in an American city.”
