U.S. Border Patrol agents made more arrests in Los Angeles and the surrounding area, arresting a woman selling food outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles and workers at a car wash in Montebello, California.
Since June, the Los Angeles region has been a battleground in the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration strategy.
The detentions come days after agents jumped out of the back of a truck and made arrests at a Home Depot as part of a raid the agency official called “Operation Trojan Horse.”
Reporter Elliot Spagat of The Associated Press and his videographer, Eugene Garcia recorded Friday's arrests as part of a ride-along.
On Thursday, a pedestrian fleeing immigration authorities outside a Home Depot store in Southern California was struck by a vehicle and killed on a nearby freeway on Thursday, an official said.
The incident happened in Monrovia, California about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles.
One person fled on foot and headed toward the nearby freeway, where he was struck by a vehicle, Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died, the statement said.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the crash, he said.
Last month, a federal court in Southern California temporarily blocked the Trump administration from carrying out indiscriminate sweeps. A hearing on the issue is set for September.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles area students are returning to class under a cloud of apprehension after a summer of immigration raids.
The raids come amid worries that schools could become targets in the Trump administration’s crackdown.
