Los Angeles continues to see a rise in aggressive raids conducted by ICE across the city, with federal agents spotted arresting people at bus stops, out for a walk, and even racial profiling American citizens and attempting to detain them in plain sight.
Now, ICE is targeting taquerías.
Thursday evening, L.A. TACO confirmed the first raid at Jason’s Tacos, a food truck in East Los Angeles.
“This is not a joke; they just took all of my employees,” said Jason Devora, the owner of Jason's Tacos, which is located on Whittier Boulevard and Bradshawe Street.
According to Devora, who posted his reaction to social media, two employees were detained, and he noticed that an estimated 15 cars–said to be part of the operation–were seen covering what he felt like was every corner in the area.
“They snatch you like a dog,” he said. “The streets ain’t safe.”
