Border Patrol Raid at Sacramento Home Depot Yields 10 Arrests

The Sacramento Bee is offering tips to illegal aliens fearful of ICE raids in “What to do during ICE raids: Sacramento residents guide,” following a Border Patrol raid at a Sacramento Home Depot Thursday.

KCRA reported, “Masked Border Patrol agents on Thursday raided a Home Depot parking lot in the south Sacramento area, resulting in multiple arrests.”

“Masked agents.” Did KCRA ever identify Antifa thugs as “masked?”

Bill Melugin with Fox News was there and reported:

We joined Border Patrol as they carried out immigration enforcement in Sacramento this morning. Suspected illegal immigrants scattered as soon as agents pulled into a Home Depot, leading to foot pursuits. BP tells us they surveilled the location & ran plates for two days beforehand, with some coming back as previously deported illegal immigrants. Roughly 10 arrests made in this location, including a U.S. citizen who agents say slashed the tire on one of their vehicles and was later chased down & maced. @USBPChiefELC tells us records checks revealed one of the arrested men is an aggravated felon with a prior conviction for fentanyl trafficking.

Melugin posted photos on X of the slashed tire:

Melugin also posted the statement to Fox News from California Governor Gavin Newsom:

Statement to @FoxNews via Governor @GavinNewsom office:

“Trying to escape a court order stopping their reprehensible and illegal racial profiling and illegal arrests in L.A., Border Patrol came to Sacramento to spread more of their chaos and fear. They should go do their jobs – at the border.”

Read the comments in response to Newsom’s statement – the California Governor is savaged by people who say ‘this is what we voted for.”

The Bee reported that one of the individuals captured by ICE is reported to be a citizen of the United States, but as Melugin notes, he was caught slashing ICE agents’ tires.

U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino posted video on his official Instagram page:

“No such thing as a sanctuary city, no such thing as a sanctuary state.

Operations are underway in the #Sacramento area to interdict illegal activity and safeguard our nation through this Title 8 mission. We appreciate your continued support as we work to secure the homeland at our borders and beyond.

We’re here, and we’re not going anywhere.”

Last week federal agents raided two Central Coast cannabis farms, owned by Santa Barbara resident Graham Farrar, “who has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records,” Fox News reported. “According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.”

10 children were found at one of the cannabis farms, all undocumented and eight were unaccompanied, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott. The owners of Glass House Farms are now facing allegations they violated child labor laws, CalCoast News reported.

As Andy Caldwell, executive Director of COLAB reported, “The first priority of ICE is to deport convicted criminals and others who have already received their final orders to deport. A second priority is rescuing the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who disappeared after having crossed the border as it is expected that the vast majority of these children are being trafficked. A third priority of the federal government is shutting down cartel-related business enterprises in our country, those that appear legal, and those that are engaged in violence, illicit drug sales, and human trafficking, including prostitution of children.”
