‘Operation Trojan Horse’: LA immigration raid leads to multiple arrests
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday carried out an immigration raid dubbed “Operation Trojan Horse” in Los Angeles that resulted in multiple arrests.
The operation happened around 7 a.m. in the area surrounding a Home Depot on Wilshire Boulevard near MacArthur Park.
Write shows several agents bursting from the rear of a Penske moving truck, then running toward a group of people near a sidewalk food stand. The crowd scattered when they saw the federal agents. A DHS spokesperson confirmed 16 undocumented migrants from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua were detained.

Penske Truck Rental issued a statement saying the company “strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances.”

“The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today’s operation and did not authorize this,” according to the company. “Penske will reach out to DHS and reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future.”
