ICE Plans Mass Raids in Los Angeles Amid Leaked Government Memo

A leaked internal government memo indicates that ICE agents are preparing to conduct mass raids in Los Angeles before the end of the month. The operation will specifically target undocumented immigrants and individuals with pending removal orders, with additional support provided by the FBI and the DEA due to the operation’s large scope.

According to sources familiar with the document, several law enforcement officials received the memo last week, signaling a coordinated effort across federal agencies. The cooperation among ICE, the FBI, and the DEA highlights the gravity of the immigration sweep, as a spokesperson noted that extra support was needed to manage the operation, which was described as too significant to be handled by ICE alone.

The internal discussions reveal a sense of urgency and even concern among officials about the chaotic nature of the rapidly executed immigration policies under President Trump’s administration. Some agents appear wary of the hurried directives, fearing that friction could arise among the various agencies being called in to support the raids.

In parallel developments, changes within ICE’s leadership have been reported following similar aggressive immigration measures. Two high-ranking officials were removed from their positions, indicating efforts to reshape the agency’s approach to mass deportations and immigration enforcement. This reshuffling comes as part of an extensive series of migration-related operations that have been widely publicized since President Trump’s tenure began.

Additionally, ICE recently publicized the arrest of a former major league baseball interpreter involved in financial fraud, underscoring the breadth of the agency’s actions. While the focus remains on the upcoming raids in Los Angeles, related operations and the agency’s broader enforcement practices continue to draw significant attention from both law enforcement and the media.
