Federal Agents Disrupt Children's Camp, Prompt Local Outrage in Los Angeles

News summary

On July 7, 2025, a large federal immigration enforcement operation took place in MacArthur Park, Los Angeles, disrupting a children's summer camp and sparking widespread outrage. Approximately 100 armed agents, including federal border guards and 80 National Guard members, used armored vehicles and tactical gear while conducting an unannounced sweep, though no arrests were made. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass arrived on-site to confront the agents, demanding they leave immediately and condemning the operation as politically intimidating and unacceptable. The operation caused fear among children and local residents, leading to closures of social services and prompting strong condemnation from city and state officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Senator Alex Padilla. Federal authorities indicated this heightened enforcement is part of President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts, with ICE leadership suggesting such operations will become the 'new normal.' Local leaders warn that this show of force disrupts communities, traumatizes families, and could signal similar actions in other cities nationwide unless addressed.
