Federal agents, along with National Guard members, carried out an immigration operation in Los Angeles on Monday, as depicted in social media photos.

The raid focused on an area near MacArthur Park, known for its significant immigrant community, located in Westlake, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood with notable MS-13 gang activity. 

U.S. Border Patrol agents were seen on horseback in the park.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Bass’ office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

A senior DHS official told Fox News Digital: “We don’t comment on ongoing enforcement operations.”

Opponents of the raids have accused federal agents of using heavy tactics to take illegal immigrants into custody. 

Community leaders reported incidents of ICE appearing at elementary school graduations, disrupting the legitimate immigration processes at various courthouses, and aggressively raiding workplaces and locations like Home Depot, Fox Los Angeles reported. 

The operations, perceived as arbitrary and invasive, sparked outrage among opponents, resulting in various large-scale demonstrations across Los Angeles County.

In June, protesters rioted and clashed with authorities for several days amid outrage over immigration raids in the region. President Donald Trump federalized the National Guard and ordered the deployment of Marines to the city, leading to heavy criticism from local and state officials, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
