The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just performed another immigration raid in Los Angeles. Matt Finn, a Fox News correspondent, went embedded with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Penske Trucks at a Home Depot near MacArthur Park in LA. ICE officers hid in the back of the truck, opened the rear door, and quickly pursued suspected illegal immigrants on foot on Wednesday morning.

According to Finn, the DHS says that MS 13 gang members have a "chokehold" on the area "which is one reason they’re carrying out the highly optic immigration raids." Sixteen people were taken into custody.
This raid comes amid President Trump's nationwide push to deport illegal immigrants back to their home countries. The deportation efforts garnered massive headlines in early June when LA residents came out in mass riots against the administration's efforts. Those riots and protests spread to New York, Portland, and other major U.S. cities.

According to a DHS press release, almost 150,000 illegal immigrants have been deported. They are currently trying to meet the President's goal of deporting a million illegals a year, and have launched a massive recruitment ad campaign in the last week.
