‘Devastated’ family demands answers after two-year-old driven by armed agents from LA Home Depot parking lot

Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat.

The child’s grandmother said the incident had left the whole family shaken. “I am devastated by what has happened to my son and demand an explanation,” she said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old father was picked up during a major enforcement operation at the Home Depot in LA’s Cypress Park neighborhood on Tuesday morning. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), five undocumented immigrants were also arrested.

    watched a video yesterday of agents going into a god damn daycare and pulling out a caregiver who was screaming. a god damn daycare.

    all the while people are standing by filming and I just felt an incredible amount of rage at watching it. I’m not even american and I was angry. This poor woman was screaming and crying and being dragged out of a fucking daycare centre begging for her life.

    If I were a parent and I saw either of these things happening first hand I would go ballistic. And with all the stories going around now of people posing as ICE agents to rob and sexually assault women how do I know these fuckers arn’t one of them?

    it blows my mind that there’s no body count on ice agents yet. I’m honestly surprised no one has shot at them.

      I’m asserting right now, that those are all ICE agents. How else could they be wearing official ICE uniforms? ICE can be accused of every crime committed in the US by a person wearing a mask, until they can confirm the whereabouts of every one of their agents at all times. Or until they change their uniforms.
