Troops and federal agents briefly descend on LA’s MacArthur Park in largely immigrant neighborhood

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – Silvestre Jimenez Gomez, a Mexican national working since 1988 at a West Hollywood car wash, was detained during an ICE enforcement operation targeting criminal illegal aliens, officials said.

  • Federal agents detained two longtime employees during an immigration raid at the Santa Palm Car Wash in West Hollywood on July 4.
  • The raid was part of broader enforcement actions led by Border Patrol amid President Trump's stepped-up deportation efforts targeting illegal immigrants.
  • The detained men, Juan Carlos Delgado-Abelino and Silvestre Jimenez-Gomez, both Mexican nationals, had prior illegal entries, with Jimenez-Gomez also having a prior drug conviction.
  • Isaac Gonzalez, a car wash manager, confirmed the two employees had worked over 35 years and said, "They're taking the good people," reflecting community stress and fear.
  • The raid sparked condemnation by West Hollywood officials and prompted local activists to organize a rally and push for a resolution requiring police to verify federal agents’ authority.
