Frightening images out of #Pasadena, #California show a plainclothes #federal#LawEnforcement officer at a stoplight jumping out of his vehicle & drawing his #weapon on a person attempting to #photograph his license plate.
Details are limited & exact circumstances of the incident are unknown, but the potentially deadly confrontation occurred Wed morning at around the same time federal #immigration agents carried out an op at a bus stop nearby.

“I’ve lived in #LA for 35 years already & I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said, adding that more than half of his Hispanic [& Latin] clientele are afraid to leave their homes. “Our business has been down I would say 60% to 70%.”
Asked for comment, city leaders in #Pasadena said that they are aware of Wednesday’s #arrests & the officer pulling his #gun on a resident….

“We at the City of #Pasadena are deeply saddened & concerned by the events that have taken place in the region over the past several days surrounding the federal government’s #immigration enforcement activities. Neither the City of Pasadena or the Pasadena Police Dept participate in the enforcement of #federal civil immigration laws, nor do we ask about an individual’s immigration status when responding to calls for service or when delivering City services.”
The woman, who did not want to be identified, told KTLA in Spanish that she knows one of the men & that he’s not a criminal.
Witnesses reported that the same group of #FederalAgents returned to the corner at around 9:30AM, though it’s unclear if anyone else was arrested.
The random #immigration ops have people in the community living in fear, acc/to reporting from KTLA’s Elina Abovian, who spoke to Fernando Banuelos, owner of Dena’s Burgers.

#Masked #plainclothes federal agents donning bulletproof vests were seen questioning 2 men sitting on a bench at around 6:30AM, eventually arresting them & a handful of other #DayLaborers.
Video of the operation captured by woman inside Dena’s Burgers, on the corner of Orange Grove Blvd & Los Robles Ave, shows the men being put into an unmarked van & taken away.

The #disinformation also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital & #SocialMedia [& #RightWing news #media] through starkly divergent #ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the few clashes were limited to only very small parts.

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].
