LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Several people were detained during an apparent immigration raid at the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet, according to multiple media reports.
Video from the scene Saturday showed masked federal agents apprehending several people, accompanied by Marines who were armed. It was unclear what further actions were taken.
Witnesses told reporters people were gathering for a concert at the Swap Meet that was later canceled following the raid.
The Trump administration has continued widespread immigration enforcement activities -- with a reported goal of up to 3,000 deportations per day -- even as it scales back raids and arrests at agricultural sites, hotels and restaurants in response to complaints from employers.
The revised plans were put in place Friday, but the details were not made public.
"President Trump has always stood up for our farmers, who were a major part of his November victory, by working to negotiate fairer trade deals and cut red tape," Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement to the New York Times. "He will continue to strengthen our agricultural industry and boost exports while keeping his promise to enforce our immigration laws and remove the millions of unvetted illegals who flooded into the United States under Joe Biden."
During a demonstrations set for 11 a.m. Sunday, organizers with roofers union Local 36 and other labor representatives plan to demand an "end to all attacks on immigrant workers and call for all charges to be dropped against Service Employees International Union President David Huerta, who was arrested June 6 while protesting outside a business where federal law enforcement agents were investigating suspected immigration violations.
Meanwhile, the 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew covering a one-square-mile section of downtown Los Angeles -- which was imposed June 10 by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass after earlier immigration raids resulted in looting and vandalism during protests against the federal enforcement operations.
During a Friday news conference, Bass said the curfew is "making a difference" in curtailing criminal activity.
It affects a portion downtown between the Golden State (5) and Harbor (110) freeways, and from the Santa Monica (10) Freeway to where the Arroyo Seco (110) Parkway and Golden State Freeway merge. That area includes Skid Row, Chinatown, and the Arts and Fashion districts.
In addition to the curfew, Trump has deployed 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines to tamp down disruptive demonstrations while the immigration raids continue.
Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 -- the contingent of troops ordered into the city by Trump -- said Friday morning the deployment of Marines in the Los Angeles area will frees up the National Guard, who have been primarily protecting federal property, to serve a more protective role for federal agents conducting enforcement operations in the field.
"I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities," Sherman told reporters. "Rather, they'll be focused on protecting federal law enforcement personnel."
A federal court hearing is set for Tuesday to determine whether Trump or California Gov. Gavin Newsom will control future National Guard activity going forward. Newsom challenged Trump's decision to federalize the Guard, an action U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco said in a ruling last week did not follow congressionally mandated procedure.
His ruling was stayed by a three-judge appellate panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in response to a Trump administration notice of appeal, temporarily keeping the National Guard troops under federal control, at least through Tuesday.
