Los Angeles has become the poster child of Trump’s mass deportation plan, as more than 1,600 people have been arrested between June 6 and 22.</p><p>"The agents appeared to arrive around 10:30 a.m. after amassing at nearby locations.

Speaking to the other person over the line she could be heard saying, 'You’re getting ready to leave? Can you leave ASAP?'</p><p>"Demonstrators began to chant, drowning out her conversation.

'This is what my morning walk turned into. They’re terrorizing our neighborhood.'</p><p>"Live video from the scene Monday morning broadcast on social media showed a line of white vans that have been used to transport arrestees as well as several agents on horseback. Agents cleared the scene by 11:20 a.m. and it was not immediately clear how many people they had taken into custody.</p><p>"U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino, who has been leading the operations on the ground in Los Angeles, was present during the operation.</p><p>"Bovino, who is based near the U.S.-Mexico border along with others in the Trump administration, was sued last week by immigrant rights groups seeking to block what it calls an 'ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Constitution</span></a> and federal law' during immigration raids.
