According to federal immigration authorities, some of the migrants detained in Los Angeles last week had been involved in crimes such as assault and drug offenses.
On Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 45 individuals in various locations, like Home Depot stores, a fashion district store, and a doughnut shop. These actions led to protests against immigration enforcement operations where officers targeted workplaces to apprehend workers. The total number of migrant arrests in the city for that week exceeded 100.
Following his arrest at a Home Depot, one man was already deported to Mexico. Amid the protests, David Huerta, the president of SEIU California, a labor union, was also arrested for obstructing a federal agent while participating in the demonstrations.
At the warehouse in the fashion district, agents executed a search warrant on Friday after a judge found there was probable cause that the employer was using fictitious documents for some of its workers, U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesperson Ciaran McEvoy told The Associated Press.
