(57,845 posts)It happened at the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Cedar Avenue in the city of Lynwood at 2:55 pm on 1/30/2026.
This statement by a Lynwood Council Member acknowledged the "disturbing" video but says that what appeared to be federal agents were actually Anaheim Police who ended up there; the Sheriff was not involved in the operation and came up to it after the fact.

The city of Lynwood does not have its own independent police department. Instead, law enforcement services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
It is odd that Anaheim PD, which is in Orange County, would be in Lynwood, which is Los Angeles County. Anaheim PD has a lot of police excessive use of force complaints against it.
