On August 6, 2025, U.S. immigration enforcement agents conducted a raid in Los Angeles, California, dubbed "Operation Trojan Horse." Federal agents, including those from the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), concealed themselves in the back of a rental moving truck outside a Home Depot in the Westlake area before emerging to detain 16 individuals. The operation proceeded despite a judicial restriction. The Trump administration has been intensifying mass deportations, supported by a legislative bill that has drawn scrutiny from Congress. The enforcement approach has included reopening deportation cases, even for deceased individuals, and has sparked criticism from various quarters, including Mexican officials condemning the raid. Concerns have also been raised about the conduct of agents, with reports of impersonators and calls for ICE agents to visibly identify themselves during enforcement actions. The administration's immigration policies have led to the dismissal of immigration judges and widespread unease within immigrant communities. Congressional members have expressed opposition to the broad scope of deportations, emphasizing the impact on immigrants contributing to local economies and communities.
