On Monday a large amount of law enforcement agents descended upon MacArthur Park in Los Angeles as part of a mass deportation operation. The agents were armed with rifles and tactical gear and came with armored vehicles and horses in what The Los Angeles Times described as an “extraordinary show of force at the heart of Los Angelesโ immigrant community.”
“Heavily armored Border Patrol officers with a fleet of white minibuses partially blocked the streets surrounding the park, which has become a source of crime and drugs in the area in the last few years. Activists with megaphones were able to warn locals at the park before the contingent arrived, according to police sources,” The Los Angeles Times said.

Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing โ then, the MILITARY comes through.
The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.
Absolutely outrageous. pic.twitter.com/sxGzjGlYlr
The mass deportation raid followed the passage of the Big Beautiful Spending Bill, a bill that included $170 billion for immigration enforcement.
ICE Director Tom Homan broke down the numbers of deportations that would be needed to reverse the Biden invasion. According to Town Hall, the new daily deportation goal may be possible with the funding infusion from the Big Beautiful Bill.
“For those that say 3,000 a day is too much…We have to arrest 7,000 every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into the nation,” he said.
๐ฅTOM HOMAN: Deporting 3,000 illegals per day is not enough.

He just announced a NEW GOAL that might only be possible with the OBBB!

Notably, Homan told Tucker Carlson before the inauguration that he will deport all he can with the resources he has access to, but Congress would have to fund an expansion of ICE’s budget to increase the deportation rate. This funding has now been granted.
Numerous social media users reported that the park is filled with gang members and homeless.
WHY do you want criminal illegal aliens roaming a park where kids are playing? I know you're trying to dunk here but with each passing post, you only make OUR POINT. Resign.

I am so tired of your Marxist ass lying about everything. MacArthur Park is infested with drugs, the homeless, and gangs. YOU have allowed Los Angeles to become a third world city.

That park is an opium den and filled with MS-13. You have NEVER complained about the "poor children" being in dangerous conditions created by your policies. You only complain when gangs are being removed. Figures. You are an incompetent and criminal politician.

Kids? MacArthur Park has been a no go zone for police for years because of you. You have given up the whole park to MS-13 who are dealing drugs to kids. They shot and killed . A young girl there to send a message to street vendors to pay for protection. You did nothing but toโฆ

One social media user said that this will cause a chilling effect to elicit self deportations. In May President Trump announced a self deportation program called Project Homecomingย to help illegal aliens go home.
This sort of stuff has a massive chilling effect; people will self deport, avoid public spaces, etc. Very good. https://t.co/DeNi6KzxLf

Illegal aliens who take advantage of the gracious government assistance program will be rewarded with concierge service and a free flight back to where they came from, or to any country that would welcome them. A lack of identification documentation is no problem either, as the federal government is there to help any and all illegal aliens regardless of their document status. There is even a cash bonus. In about two months the mass deportation phase of Trumpโs presidency will begin which will remove those who didnโt remove themselves.
As was reported by Infowars in May, a mass deportation phase follows the voluntary deportation phase of Project Homecoming, beginning roughly two month after the voluntary deportation program was initiated. That time has now begun.
Any and all illegal aliens are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this gracious and beneficial program before that time, or face the harsh legal consequences of the mass deportation phase, which will be “intensive”.
