Overview
- Bystander and surveillance video show masked agents with guns drawn surrounding a red Camaro around 10:30–11 a.m. at Sherman Way and Kester Avenue, shattering a window and pulling occupants out.
- Two men were taken into custody and a woman was briefly detained and released, with acquaintances saying the men are lawful permanent residents and the woman is a U.S. citizen.
- LAPD responded to reports of masked men with guns, then monitored the scene after determining Homeland Security personnel were conducting the detentions.
- ICE described the activity as routine operations and offered no case-specific details, and reporters said it remains unclear which DHS component carried out the stop.
- NBC Los Angeles reported a separate operation about a mile away at a Van Nuys car wash where five workers were detained, as legal scrutiny of recent sweeps intensified following a Supreme Court move affecting roving patrols.
