US EditionLA Metro Touts New Safety Blitz, Ridership Increases at ‘State of the Agency’ Event
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – Since early June, DHS arrested 1,618 people in Los Angeles and nearby areas amid increased immigration enforcement linked to White House directives, with ongoing raids at workplaces.
- Since early June 2025, federal agencies including ICE and DHS have conducted frequent immigration raids in Los Angeles and nearby areas, detaining approximately 2,792 suspected undocumented immigrants by mid-June.
- These operations followed apparent directives from the White House to increase immigration-related arrests, accompanied by President Trump federally deploying the California National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid protests.
- During a June 24 raid in the Fashion District, agents tackled U.S. citizen Luis Hipolito, who was charged with assault after reportedly swinging his arm, and was pepper sprayed while restrained, an incident that drew public attention and dispute.
- DHS officials maintained the raids were highly targeted and denied racial profiling, calling such claims false and intended to demonize ICE, while civil rights groups described a systematic pattern of forceful stops primarily targeting brown-skinned individuals at workplaces and public venues.
- The raids have caused fear among immigrant communities, resulting in reduced healthcare and social service use, prompting county officials on July 8 to seek innovative methods like telephonic medical visits and home delivery services to maintain support amid ongoing protests and legal challenges.
