From Libby Rainey's 8-6-25 LAIST article entitled "Federal Agents Detain People at a Westlake Home Depot After Jumping Out of Rented Penske Moving Van":
Federal agents detained 16 people in a Westlake Home Depot parking lot early Wednesday, according to a government statement. The action comes despite a court order temporarily halting indiscriminate sweeps in the region.
The agents arrived in a rented Penske moving van, according to a Fox News reporter who accompanied the agents. Video posted on social media by the reporter shows men in U.S. Border Patrol vests who appear to be hiding in the van's closed cargo area. The rolling back door then opens and the agents run into the parking lot just east of MacArthur Park.
U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino, who is leading operations in L.A., and the Department of Homeland Security called it "Operation Trojan Horse." A Homeland Security statement said the people arrested were from Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua. It did not say whether the agency had arrest warrants.
