Federal agents were spotted undertaking what appeared to be an immigration raid at an Artesia car wash Tuesday morning.
A TikTok video showed two purported federal agents wearing masks and tactical vests at Big Penny Car Wash just before 10 a.m.
The vests identify the agents as members of the U.S. Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations.
DHS did not return KTLA’s request for comment before publication.
The person who shared the video initially said no one was arrested, though one worker later told KTLA that “ICE took a few workers and left afterwards.”
The car wash manager declined to speak with KTLA.
