Federal agents just showed California liberals that immigration law still matters in America. Border Patrol conducted Operation Trojan Horse at multiple Home Depot locations across Los Angeles, arresting 16 illegal immigrants in the first raid alone. This bold action proves President Trump means business about securing our borders.
The operation targeted day laborers who gather at these stores looking for work under the table. Six of the 16 people arrested had serious criminal backgrounds, showing these weren’t just innocent workers seeking the American dream. These are exactly the kind of dangerous individuals who exploit our broken immigration system.
Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli delivered a perfect message to sanctuary city supporters. He warned that enforcement of federal law is not negotiable and there are no sanctuaries from federal government reach. Finally, someone in law enforcement remembers their oath to protect Americans first.
Liberal activists immediately started crying about violations and restraining orders. The ACLU rushed to defend people who broke our immigration laws and undermined American workers. These same groups never worry about the rights of legal immigrants or American citizens who follow the rules.
Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino defended the raids as targeted operations based on solid intelligence. He explained that agents always follow the law and Constitution when conducting these necessary enforcement actions. This is what real leadership looks like when politicians stop tying the hands of our brave border agents.
The raids happened despite activist judges trying to stop immigration enforcement with bogus court orders. Trump administration officials are fighting back against these judicial roadblocks that protect lawbreakers over law-abiding citizens. America needs judges who support our laws, not undermine them.
Day laborers scattered when federal agents arrived because they knew they were breaking the law. These illegal workers take jobs from Americans and drive down wages for everyone. Strong enforcement sends the right message that America is a nation of laws, not a free-for-all.
These Home Depot raids show what happens when we put America first again. Border Patrol agents are finally free to do their jobs without political interference from liberal politicians. Every American who believes in law and order should celebrate these brave agents protecting our communities.
