Excerpt from ABC 7 Los Angeles
Federal agents also conducted an enforcement operation at a Home Depot in Pomona.
"U.S. Border Patrol conducted a targeted immigration enforcement operation at Home Depot in Pomona, California, that resulted in the arrest of three illegal aliens from Guatemala and Mexico," DHS said in a statement. "Misael Feliciano-Lopez, an illegal alien from Mexico, was previously convicted of felony inflicting corporal injury on a spouse and arrested for DUI."
The Pomona Home Depot has been raided by ICE multiple times. SoCal car washes have also been frequent targets.
Democratic State Senator Susan Rubio condemned the operations.
"I am devastated that four Home Depot day laborers were taken this morning in Pomona. These are hardworking people, simply seeking the opportunity to provide for their families. Raids like this do nothing but terrorize communities and punish those who contribute to our economy. Families are being destroyed in the process, and children are left alone, crying and wondering if they'll ever see their parents again," Rubio wrote in a statement. "As a Senator, I will continue to fight to ensure that all families are treated with dignity and respect. This must stop."
