The federal law enforcement officers plan to carry out a “large” immigration authority in the Los Angeles region before the end of February, as can be seen from an internal government document checked by the Times.
The operation, which is directed by the US intensive care unit, will concentrate on people who have no legal status in the country or who have already had pending orders of distance, according to the document that was distributed among some federal law enforcement officers Week.
Although the immigration operations have been increased across the country since President Trump took office, no comprehensive measures were taken in LA, a city of Trump that was repeatedly criticized during his two presidential campaigns.
ICE did not respond to a request for comments.
A source of the federal law enforcement agencies, which spoke out of fear of reprisals on the condition of anonymity, said that Agents of the FBI and the field of fields of Drug Enforcement Administration in Los Angeles are appointed to help.
“They needed more bodies,” said the official.
A former law enforcement officer of the federal government who said that he had been informed about the recent preparations, but said about the condition of anonymity due to retaliation, also said that FBI agents were instructed to take part in pending “raids” in Los Angeles. None of the officials could deliver a precise time frame for the potential measures.
The Active Federal Law Enforcement civil servants warned that the plans could change due to the “chaotic” type of the first weeks of the Trump government and the expected return from some of the agencies required to support ice cream.
“Just because certain information is given does not mean that it is the administration plan because they know that some agents will be resistant,” said the official.
Thousands have driven into downtown Los Angeles in the past few days to move against Trump's mass deportation strategy. The demonstrators briefly blocked the 101 freeway this week, and on Friday afternoon a person was stabbed during a fight near Spring Street.
ICE's enforcement operations in LA have recently published regularly about people who arrested them, including a Mexican citizen who was convicted of vigorous or lascivious actions with a child under 14 years, another murder in Mexico, a woman who was driving was condemned under the influence and a suspected Venezuelan tren de Aragua.
Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the FBI, refused to comment on an upcoming large -scale company, but said that the agency has been supporting immigration operations since the end of January.
“We are primarily a supportive role in these operations,” she said.
Other federal authorities have been supporting ice cream since last month, including the DEA and the office for alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives.
The Dea La released on X last month that it was involved in an operation associated with the implementation of immigration.
“If we are asked to support measures to enforce immigration, we will check the skills and postponement of resources as required,” said Matthew Allen, who heads the agency's LA office in a statement.
Ginger Colburn, a spokesman for the ATF, said on Friday in an e -mail that the agency has been supporting the Ministry of Homeland Protection and other law enforcement partners in the federal government since January 26 in South California.
“In order to ensure the operational security and security of our agents and partners, ATF does not open any details of the enforcement activities,” said Colburn.
Trump's “Grenzzar”, Tom Homan, accused the leak of an immigration company in Aurora, Colorado, the number of arrests from members of the Tren de Aragua gang and other criminal.
“This is not a game,” said Homan Fox news. “If you have this type of interference, our officials have a great risk.”
