Fox 11 Los Angeles reported:
An apparent federal immigration sweep occurred at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles’ Westlake District late Monday morning.
What we know: Aerial images from SkyFOX showed several agents surrounding the famed park at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and S. Alvarado Street.
A black Department of Homeland Security helicopter was seen overhead, while agents on the ground were in armored vehicles and on horseback.
By 11:07 a.m., LA Mayor Karen Bass was at the scene in a powder blue suit. She was quickly surrounded by local media as well as federal agents. A short time later, she left the area in a city-issued vehicle.
