Overview
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wore a bulletproof vest and ballcap alongside heavily armed ICE agents during the June 12 early-morning raid in Huntington Park.
- Agents arrived before dawn carrying rifles and presented a warrant for “David Garcia,” misidentifying the absent husband of U.S. citizen Sabrina Medina.
- Medina, four months pregnant with her fifth child, was ordered outside with her four children as officers conducted a room-by-room search of her home.
- ICE agents departed without locating her husband, leaving the family uncertain about the risk of his deportation.
- Local leaders and immigrant rights advocates, including Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, have condemned the raid and warned of its chilling effect on migrant households.
