In the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, a car was rammed on the passenger side by an unmarked vehicle and pinned on the driver's side by a second. A baby in the backseat where the agent's car hit was uninjured. Agents emerged with guns drawn, tossed what appeared to be tear gas canisters toward the damaged car, and took away a U.S. citizen reportedly on a warrant related to his participation in recent protests, leaving his traumatized partner and two young children behind.
