Dozens of heavily-armed federal police officers, some of them dressed in camouflage and wearing masks, descended on MacArthur Park at around 10:30 this morning.
There were also reports that members of the military were present at the operation.
In a statement posted on X, the Department of Defense Rapid Response said that “U.S. military personnel are on the ground to ensure the safety of federal agents. We will protect federal law enforcement and assist by establishing a security perimeter.”
