On more than one occasion it was unclear what agency officers were with due to a lack of clear identification, including unmarked vehicles. Officers also made efforts to obscure their identity from cameras.

In some footage collected from the LA raids in June, officers can be seen using significant force to detain people.

The raids bear similarities to incidents previously investigated by Bellingcat, @calmatters.org and @evidentmedia.org in California. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/04...

Gregory Bovino, head of the El Centro unit in the Bakersfield Raids, is now in-charge of the operations across LA. Agents from his El Centro Border Patrol unit have featured in footage of the LA raids. calmatters.org/investigatio...

Everything is being documented for future prosecutions. Please note: Vanilla democrats need not apply for the democratic nominee position.

I would strongly suggest anyone with documentation download to an external drive to keep in a safe place. They are rewriting our history every day. Keep this safe for the future.

Incredible reporting as usual — reupping my @bellingcat.com donation such insanity breeds hundreds of questions, but one that springs to mind is what the fuck — if anything—does corporate Home Depot have to say about this?

bovine should take himself a lot less seriously considering that SCOTUS already ruled that he and his boss, donald j. trump, are both permanently disqualified insurrectionists impersonating government officials and holding office in violation of Sec3/14A via their trump vs. Anderson ruling...

i wonder if Bovino has broken any local California laws by ordering these masked, forceful raids; or if he should be sued by some of the citizens and legal residents harmed?

So? Where are those extremely dangerous MS13 gang members? Almost looks like ICE Gestapo is AFRAID of them.

Right. They can’t show their affiliations because they represent right wing vigilante groups and they have no code or training.
