It’s day 43.
ICE ACTIVITY
- ICE was in Huntington Park, allegedly executing an arrest warrant at the home of Tacos Los Huicholes' sister. The neighborhood came out to confront ICE, which, according to witnesses, did not show the arrest warrant. After the incident, the community followed ICE to the Huntington Police Department parking lot, where they attempted to change a tire, but eventually had their vehicle towed instead.
- Milagro, the woman who suffered a medical emergency as she was being abducted by ICE outside her apartment in Sherman Oaks and taken to Glendale Memorial Hospital, was taken to Anaheim Global Medical Center. Witnesses say, “Milagros was forcibly dragged kicking and screaming out of a side exit of Glendale Memorial Hospital by three plain-clothed people with face masks who presented what appeared to be a federal warrant.”
- In San Diego, a person recorded his interaction with an overly aggressive Border Patrol Agent who pulled him over.
- The long-awaited McCarthur Park Border Patrol propaganda video has been released.
- Feds had LAPD and L.A. Sanitation clear protesters from across the street of the federal building, where they’ve been demonstrating since Friday against ICE after they witnessed women and children in handcuffs taken into the building. According to L.A. TACO reporter who was on the scene, “They're citing 41.18, a law typically used to criminalize the homeless, that prohibits people from storing personal property on public sidewalks within 500' of “sensitive sites." Police claim that there's a daycare in the Federal Building that’s within 300 feet of the protesters' staging area. At some point in the day, a protester allegedly kicked one of the feds in the nuts. Looks like he may have gotten away.
