Los Angeles ICE Raids Fuel Controversy over Masked Agents
- On Friday, June 6, masked and armed federal agents conducted sweeping immigration raids in multiple areas of Los Angeles and handcuffed migrants in New York courthouses.
- These actions took place after the Department of Homeland Security lifted previous rules that had restricted agents from entering secured locations like courtrooms in January.
- During the raids, agents used flash-bang grenades to disperse crowds, detained dozens, sparked protests, and intensified tactics that made immigrants wary of attending court hearings.
- Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the approach, describing it as instilling fear within communities, while Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House, emphasized that national laws take precedence and will be upheld.
- The raids ignited debate over masked ICE agents’ use of face coverings, with supporters citing agent safety amid doxxing threats and critics warning such tactics hinder accountability and intimidate immigrant communities.
