Despite rumors of a massive immigration sweep in Los Angeles, numbers don’t add up

LA Times  

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials look to arrest an immigrant living in the country illegally and with a criminal record on Sept. 8, 2022, in Los Angeles. For days, rumors that the federal government was planning a massive immigration enforcement sweep in Los Angeles County on Sunday had put officials on alert and cast a pall over many immigrant communities. Representatives for the FBI, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles Police Department either referred questions to ICE, had no information or said they were not involved in federal immigration actions. He said the agency would not comment “on the legal status of an individual, nor do we specify the legal status of individuals assigned to any particular facility, including numbers and locations.” Across Los Angeles County, from Alhambra to Highland Park, there were videos posted on social media showing unmarked vehicles and officers with vests showing up at homes. This month, The Times reviewed a government document suggesting that federal law enforcement was planning to carry out a “large scale” immigration operation in the Los Angeles area before tthe month’s end.
