[The following covers raids from Saturday, January 17th through Wednesday, January 21st. ]
This morning, Federal agents continued their spree of shooting at cars in an attempt to detain someone, this time in Willowbrook between Watts and Compton. As most news outlets jumped on it and covered it, we were able to add a couple more details that were missed. First, the shooting happened less than a block from a jr. high, and second, a young girl was dragged from the scene by masked border patrol men while a witness observed her being punched as she was forced into a vehicle. Early reports state no one was hit, but there is a vehicle that crashed, airbags were deployed, and DHS claims an agent was hurt in the incident without any details provided.
The escalation continues in Southern California, and while we’re not facing 3,000 agents like Minnesota, we are still being relentlessly hit by daily raids, to the point that we at L.A. Taco are having trouble keeping up. Several people, we at L.A. Taco knows personally, from vendors to family, were targeted in the last several days, some are now in the hands of ICE.
