US EditionAir marshals mistaken for ICE chased out of Korean restaurant
A crowd mistook off-duty federal air marshals for immigration agents, prompting deputies to escort them safely; no arrests or injuries occurred, authorities reported.
- Around 6:20 p.m. on Wednesday, three federal air marshals were chased out of Plaza Mexico, 3100 block of E. Imperial Hwy, Lynwood, after being mistaken for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and were escorted by deputies into an unmarked van to Century Station.
- Someone inside the restaurant identified the officers as ICE agents, and rumors spread on social media, prompting demonstrators to gather outside Plaza Mexico in Lynwood on Wednesday.
- The air marshals called for help, prompting dozens of deputies from two nearby stations to respond; deputies formed a skirmish line in the parking lot of Plaza Mexico to separate the marshals from about 20 people outside.
- After the marshals left the area safely, deputies cleared the scene within 30 minutes and no one in the crowd was arrested or injured.
- Amid ongoing demonstrations after June 6th, air marshals report to the Transportation Security Administration under DHS and focus on flight security, distinct from ICE's enforcement role.
