💨 Abstract

military troops and federal immigration officers conducted a brief operation in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park, a neighborhood known for its large immigrant population. The show of force, involving about 90 National Guard troops and dozens of federal officers, was criticized by local officials as an intimidation tactic. The operation lasted about an hour, with no reported arrests. Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the operation, describing it as a political stunt.
