Francisco Longoria is in custody weeks after fleeing an arrest from then-unidentified and armed assailants who smashed the windows of his vehicle before shooting at him.
ICE agents conducted multiple raids across Southern California, taking at least 28 people from car washes, Home Depots, a warehouse, and near a courthouse, while rapid responders in North Hollywood helped many escape by blowing whistles to alert the community. In other news, a Reseda teen was secretly transferred to Arizona, reports surfaced of brutal beatings inside Alligator Alcatraz detention, and the NYT profiled Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, who may expand his aggressive Los Angeles raid tactics nationwide.
Plus, a tacos and wine pop-up in Boyle Heights to raise funds for a pioneering Mexican chef in L.A. fighting cancer.
Despite the controversy of Dunsmoor when it first opened, It’s a variety of a taco that is hard to find in L.A.: An actual Southwest-style taco that deserves some respect, especially during Hatch chile season. If not for the taste of the taco itself that represents New Mexico, then for all the people who make up that state, including the 23 federally recognized tribes that have taken care of that land—and planted green chiles—for thousands of years.
ICE agents conducted multiple raids across Southern California, including a violent sweep at the Westlake Home Depot where tear gas and pepper balls were used, resulting in eight arrests and widespread panic. Additional detentions occurred in San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, Ventura, and Los Angeles, with reports of surveillance outside the courthouse.
Tear gas was used at a time when parents were taking their kids to school and innocent bystanders were on their way to work. “A lot of people were coughing ... A lot of people had red eyes, and [were] trying to get water to clean themselves," said one witness.
