Three dozen Chinese and Taiwanese nationals were arrested following a raid on a southern California “underground nightclub.”
Video of the arrests by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Los Angeles early Friday morning was shared by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agencies on X.
“Early this morning, HSI Los Angeles w/ @EROLosAngeles & partners from the El Camino Real Financial Crimes Task Force conducted an enforcement operation in an underground nightclub,” the post reads. “36 Chinese and Taiwanese nationals were arrested for being illegally present in the U.S.”
The video shows agents on the scene at night before it cuts to daytime footage of a large group of alleged illegal immigrants sitting on a sidewalk prior to being loaded into white vans.
