According to the agent, the team simply searched Google for nearby car washes, and the Whittier location was chosen because it \u201cwas one of the places that came on the list as the nearest location.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The following month, when a phalanx of Border Patrol agents showed up outside a news conference held by leading California Democrats, including Newsom, a Homeland Security Investigations agent texted a colleague that the operation was \u201cpolitical\u201d and \u201ca stunt.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A Homeland Security spokesperson claimed at the time agents were \u201cfocused on enforcing the law, not on [Newsom].\u201d But the agent saw it differently, describing the operation as Border Patrol having \u201cessentially raided the Newsom press conferences.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got pulled off the [Home Depot] and car wash to run this stunt,\u201d the agent wrote. \u201cWe\u2019re told to assist with targeted enforcement&#8230; That is not target enforcement. That was just a political agenda. Hopefully I can get replaced soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The filing also included body camera footage and texts capturing the casual manner in which some agents discussed operations, including the use of slurs against immigrants. In one June 2025 exchange, an agent noted that streets in Huntington Park \u201cwere packed with possibles.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In another, after agents discussed making 31 apprehensions in a single operation, one responded, \u201cDamn good s&#8211;t fellas.\u201d Texts and footage also showed agents referring to potential targets as \u201cwet,\u201d a slur derived from \u201cwetback,\u201d and \u201ctonk,\u201d a term the ACLU says refers to the sound of a flashlight striking a migrant\u2019s head. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4529\">Trump Admin Taps High-School Dropout to Hire Diplomats<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Asked about the slurs, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said, \u201cagents are focused on protecting the American people, not entertaining performative outrage. Where is the media\u2019s outrage for Angel families who lost a loved one to illegal alien crime?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The same August 2025 text thread that captured the \u201cstunt\u201d comment also showed two Homeland Security Investigations agents worrying that operations were violating a federal court order. <\/p>\n<p>A judge had issued a temporary restraining order the prior month blocking agents from using racial profiling for indiscriminate arrests in Southern California, intended to stop agents from targeting Home Depots and car washes to detain Spanish-speaking day laborers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI complained about the Home Depot stuff saying I think it violates the TRO,\u201d one male agent wrote. \u201cYeah I\u2019m pretty sure it does,\u201d a female colleague responded, later adding that she doubted the agency would meaningfully change its tactics. \u201cI think they only know one way to operate,\u201d she wrote. \u201cSee bodies, chase bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his deposition, the male agent said operations grew progressively less targeted over time, culminating in the news conference operation, which he said had no targets at all. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey marched to a democratic governor\u2019s press conference. It seemed to be purely political,\u201d he testified. \u201cIt did not seem like there was a good operational basis to be doing that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Having worked in immigration enforcement since 2008, he described the \u201coverall aggression\u201d of the 2025 Los Angeles raids as \u201ca little intense for like a large city,\u201d and called the news conference operation the final straw that made him want off the assignment altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4527\">MAGA Melts Down at RINO Republicans Over Trump Sabotage<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>DHS and Newsom\u2019s office have been contacted for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaked messages have shown that federal agents complained about a \u201cpolitical stunt\u201d aimed at Trump nemesis California Governor Gavin Newsom.
