ICE, DHS Nab 5,000 In Los Angeles Crackdown — ‘Worst Of The Worst’ Targeted For Deportation

DHS and ICE say more than 5,000 people have been arrested in Los Angeles since June in a coordinated enforcement surge, highlighting detainees with violent convictions and registered sex offenders. The operations, which include worksite and street raids, have sparked sustained protests and legal challenges. Officials frame the actions as a public-safety push while critics warn of mass deportations and civil-liberties risks.
