U.S. federal immigration authorities conducted a large-scale enforcement operation at a Home Depot store in the Westlake area of Los Angeles, California, resulting in the arrest of at least 16 migrants. The operation, dubbed "Operation Trojan Horse," involved agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol who concealed themselves inside a rental moving truck to ambush individuals in the parking lot. This tactic was employed despite a judicial order prohibiting indiscriminate arrests. The raid has sparked condemnation from various quarters, including the Mexican government, which vowed to protect its nationals. Reports indicate that the Trump administration has resumed reopening deportation cases, including some of deceased individuals. Additional incidents related to immigration enforcement have been reported in other states, such as increased ICE arrests in Washington amid Department of Justice actions against sanctuary jurisdictions. The use of undercover tactics and the targeting of migrants in these operations have drawn attention and controversy.
