Agents on horseback and in armored vehicles participated in a daytime raid in the heart of Los Angeles' immigrant community.

Dozens of federal officers in tactical gear roamed a mostly empty park in a Los Angeles neighborhood with a large immigrant population for about an hour before clearing out.

Federal officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. “It’s the way a city looks before a coup,” Mayor Karen Bass said as she condemned the action.
