Border Patrol Raid At L.A. Home Depot: Toddler Temporarily Separated, Father Charged; 5 Undocumented Arrested

A DHS/Border Patrol operation at a Cypress Park Home Depot on Nov. 4 led to five immigration arrests and the detention of U.S. citizen Dennis Quiñonez, whose 1-year-old daughter was briefly taken by agents in his vehicle and later returned to family. DHS alleges Quiñonez assaulted agents with a hammer and threw rocks; a stolen pistol was found in his car, and he faces a federal firearm charge. He was released on $10,000 bond and has upcoming court dates. The incident echoes other 2025 raids at L.A.-area Home Depots that have drawn community and legal scrutiny.
