LOS ANGELES—Agents with the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) have been deployed to Los Angeles amid anti-deportation riots sweeping the city, with more Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on standby to deploy if needed, a source with CBP told The Epoch Times on condition of anonymity.
The deployment of the SWAT-like unit comes amid chaos in America’s second-largest city, where riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations have entered their fourth consecutive day. The riots have led to personal and property damage across the city, looting, and other acts of violence that have so far resulted in 21 arrests, according to local authorities.
