Immigration raids continue as Trump appears to soften on targeting some workplaces

Immigration raids continuted to spark anxiety and anger over the weekend across Southern California, even as President Trump appeared to signal he might back off from some workplace raids.

Armed, masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a raid Saturday afternoon at a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs hours before a concert was to begin, witnesses said.

The agents arrived at Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet around 3:30 p.m., according to eyewitness Howie Rezendez, who filmed armed agents hopping off their vehicles and heading into the venue.

“There were around 50 to 80” agents, Rezendez said. “They had more than 30 cars and vans packed with agents, and three helicopters up there too.”

Sorry but these assholes look more like an invading army than cops. Someone's going to get killed.
