ICE announces enormous raid operation in this Democrat-controlled stronghold
The Left is hiding criminals. But they can’t hide them any longer.
Because ICE announced an enormous raid operation in this Democrat-controlled stronghold.
Federal agents are gearing up for a massive immigration raid in the Los Angeles area before the end of the month, targeting illegal migrants in what is expected to be one of the largest enforcement operations yet under President Trump’s administration.
The raid will be spearheaded by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but it’s so extensive that additional agents from the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been called in to assist, according to a federal law enforcement source who spoke with the Los Angeles Times.
“They needed more bodies,” the official said, underscoring the scale of the operation.
According to an internal government document leaked to the media, the raid will focus on rounding up illegal migrants, particularly those with outstanding removal orders.
Under Trump’s leadership, sweeping immigration enforcement has been ramped up across the country, including in New York City.
However, this will be the first major raid in Los Angeles — one of the nation’s most notorious sanctuary cities, where local Democrat leaders have long worked to shield illegal migrants from federal law.
Despite indications that the raid is planned before March, the federal source acknowledged that logistics could shift due to what they described as the “chaotic” nature of the administration, as well as potential pushback from some agents reluctant to enforce the law.
“Just because certain information is being given doesn’t mean it’s the administration’s plan, because they know some agents are going to be resistant,” the official said.
Resistance or not, ICE’s Los Angeles branch has already been making significant arrests.
Among those taken into custody recently are a fugitive wanted for m*rder, a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member, and a Mexican national convicted of lewd acts with a child under 14.
These cases highlight exactly why strong immigration enforcement is essential to keeping Americans safe.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller declined to comment on the upcoming large-scale raid but confirmed that the agency has been supporting immigration operations since late January.
“We’re primarily a supportive role for these operations,” she said.
Matthew Allen, head of the DEA’s Los Angeles office, also confirmed his agency’s role in backing up ICE when needed.
“When asked to support immigration enforcement actions, we will review the capabilities and shift resources as necessary to provide support,” Allen stated.
With Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration in full force, this upcoming operation in Los Angeles signals that his administration isn’t backing down — no matter how much the Left tries to obstruct enforcement.
