US EditionFederal agents hid in back of rental truck at start of raid outside LA Home Depot
- On August 6, 2025, U.S. Border Patrol agents conducted an early morning raid at a Home Depot in Los Angeles, arresting 16 immigrants after emerging from a rented Penske box truck.
- The raid, named Operation Trojan Horse by Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino, occurred despite a federal judge's July restraining order barring indiscriminate arrests based on race, language, or occupation.
- Agents wore tactical gear and cowboy hats, arrived in Penske trucks with a Fox News crew embedded, and targeted day laborers who often gather in the Home Depot parking lot seeking work.
- Penske Truck Rental stated it neither authorized nor knew of the trucks' use in the operation and emphasized its policy that prohibits transporting people in cargo areas, while U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said, “enforcement of federal law is not negotiable.”
- The raid heightened tensions, drawing condemnation from Mayor Karen Bass and immigrant groups and prompting a planned Jericho March to call for an end to raids and respect for court orders.
