U.S. authorities say the month-long illegal immigration crackdown will continue in Los Angeles. The recommitment comes after Monday’s massive show of force by the federal agents near MacArthur Park. Agents went through the park on foot and horseback and then left without apparently detaining anyone.
Mayor Karen Bass says she believes the intent of the action was about intimidation and instilling fear.
Protesters began showing up in the area, with reports of a tire on a federal vehicle being slashed and objects thrown at vehicles. Last month, protesters rioted and clashed with authorities for several days amid outrage over immigration raids in the region.
