Trump Official Joins ICE Raid
Illegal Immigration Crackdown Continues Under Trump Administration
HUNTINGTON PARK, CALIFORNIA — In a bold show of federal resolve, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a pre-dawn raid Thursday targeting a known criminal alien in a Los Angeles-area neighborhood. The raid is part of the Trump administration’s renewed commitment to enforce immigration laws, protect U.S. citizens, and restore law and order across American communities.
Around 6:00 a.m., a tactical ICE team descended on a Huntington Park residence believed to be housing a man with a serious criminal background. Inside the home was a pregnant U.S. citizen and mother of four, Sabrina Medina, who claims the agents served a warrant for someone she doesn’t know—raising questions about the identity of the suspect.
“I was just terrified. I’ve never experienced anything like this,” Medina told local media.
Medina says the agents were looking for a man named David Garcia, but insists her husband’s name is Jorge and that he was not present at the time. Surveillance footage shows heavily armed ICE agents entering the property as Secretary Noem observed the scene from the street, wearing body armor and a tactical cap.
Federal Law Enforcement Sends a Message: No More Free Passes
This operation highlights a broader strategy under President Trump’s leadership to restore the integrity of America’s immigration system. DHS officials stress that their mission is clear: target criminal aliens, not innocent families. ICE confirmed the target had a criminal record, though no arrest was made during the operation.
Despite following proper procedures, the raid drew sharp criticism from California Democrats. Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn visited the neighborhood and condemned the action, continuing California’s longstanding opposition to federal immigration enforcement.
Controversy Erupts at Press Conference — Senator Padilla Detained
Secretary Noem mentioned the raid during a heated press conference later that day, where Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) was forcibly removed, handcuffed, and briefly detained after interrupting the event—adding fuel to the fire in the ongoing battle over border security and sanctuary laws.

Medina, who is four months pregnant, expressed fear about her family’s future if her husband is deported. Yet to many Americans—especially older voters concerned about safety and national sovereignty—this case underscores why illegal immigration must be taken seriously.
“I don’t know what we’ll do if they take him. It’s scary,” she said.
ICE agents left the scene without making an arrest, but the clear message from DHS was delivered: the days of unchecked illegal immigration are over.
America First Means Enforcing the Law
As millions of hard-working, law-abiding Americans continue to demand secure borders and safer communities, President Trump and Secretary Noem are answering the call. While radical politicians offer sympathy to illegal aliens, this administration is focused on protecting American families and restoring the rule of law.
