Federal agents involved in a supposed widespread immigration crackdown in Los Angeles County reportedly were reluctant to show a warrant to a city traffic officer for a family member they believed to be an undocumented migrant.
Espinoza's family — a young child and his wife — were at home at the time, and he was unwilling to allow the agents entry to his home without fist seeing a warrant.
At the same time, an individual with a loudspeaker — unaffiliated with the federal agents — shouted that Espinoza did not have to open the door to them without a warrant signed by a judge.
He went outside to meet the agents, who produced what they said was a three-page warrant, but they reportedly were only willing to show him the first page of the document.
Other people who had been following the federal agents with megaphones called them "kidnappers" and "terrorists" and began chanting the words "say it once, say it twice, we will not put up with ICE.
