In Los Angeles, heavily armed federal immigration agents, some on horseback, staged a dramatic sweep on a public park Monday, inflaming tensions in a city already on edge from the Trump administration’s mass raids. Mayor Karen Bass arrived on the scene, where she told agents to leave MacArthur Park, a popular public space in a largely immigrant and working-class neighborhood where many children were playing. Activists and community members, some who’d been tipped off about the sweep, were seen repelling the agents, yelling insults at the armed and masked men, some hurling fruit toward them. Mayor Bass later condemned the incident.

Mayor Karen Bass: “Frankly, it is outrageous and un-American that we have federal armed vehicles in our parks when nothing is going on in the parks. … It’s outrageous and un-American that the federal government seized our state’s National Guard. It’s outrageous and un-American that we have U.S. Marines, who are trained to kill foreign soldiers overseas, deployed in our American city.”
