Summary

Federal agents descended on a park in the middle of Los Angeles midday Monday, showing up on horseback, in armored tanks, and carrying rifles. While it’s still not at all clear if the agents made any arrests, a regional Customs and Border Protection chief told a local FOX News reporter, “Better get used to us now, because this is gonna be normal very soon.” He may not be wrong. President Donald Trump’s new spending and tax law explodes the budget for immigration and border enforcement, setting aside around $170 billion extra dollars for Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Around $75 billion of that money is earmarked specifically for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla joins us to talk about ICE’s aggressive tactics, how immigrants in California are feeling right now, and what Democrats — and all of us — can do to respond. And in headlines: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent Wednesday waltzing around Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers, Trump sent out threatening tariffs letters to more countries, and the CEO of the platform formerly known as Twitter coincidentally quit just a day after Elon Musk’s AI chatbot went full antisemite.

Earlier this week, federal agents descended on a park in the middle of Los Angeles in the

middle of the day. They showed up on horseback in armored tanks carrying rifles. And of course,

most of them had their faces covered. Why? As of Wednesday, that still wasn't at all clear.

1:05.9

Here's a dispatch from the local ABC news station, which was on the scene.

1:09.6

At times, they just kind of stood there in formation lines.

1:12.3

At other times, they moved in unison throughout the park.

Now, from our vantage point, we never saw those officers make any arrest.

1:19.8
