Federal agents hid in back of rental truck at start of raid outside LA Home Depot
U.S. Border Patrol agents jumped out of the back of a rented Penske truck and made arrests at a Los Angeles Home Depot store during an immigration raid. An agency official called Wednesday’s raid “Operation Trojan Horse.” The early morning operation near downtown LA came just days after a federal appeals court upheld a federal judge’s order blocking the Trump administration from conducting indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in Southern California. A spokesperson for Penske Truck Rental says the company is looking into the use of its vehicles by federal officials, adding that its regulations prohibit transporting people in truck cargo areas.
