Video appears to show an explosion set off by federal agents as they entered a Huntington Park home in an early morning law enforcement operation that startled a woman who was inside the house with her two young children.
The operation targeting a man who lives at the home unfolded early Friday in the 3500 block of Flower Street, where about a dozen federal agents in tactical gear could be seen on security camera video taking up positions in the front yard. Two of the agents appeared to secure something to the house's door and front window before an explosion.
Jenny Ramirez lives at the home with her boyfriend, who was sought by authorities, but not at the residence when Border Patrol agents arrived. Ramirez said she received a call from a neighbor telling her Border Patrol vehicles were in the neighborhood. Everyone who lives at the home is a U.S. citizen, Ramirez said.
Ramirez said the agents told her they were looking for her boyfriend. Ramirez said she was not told why, but said her boyfriend called later Friday morning and told her Border Patrol contacted him and said he needed to turn himself in to authorities.
Ramirez said she assumed the operation might have something to do with a collision a week ago in the city of Industry. Her boyfriend was behind the wheel of a Jeep when he ran into the back of a truck carrying federal agents, Ramirez said.
Federal agents said they were free to go after the crash, Ramirez said, adding that he plans to turn himself in.
In a statement Friday afternoon, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said, “Jorge Sierra-Hernandez was arrested because he rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed the work of our agents and officers during course of a law enforcement operation. During this incident, agents were assaulted, and additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel. Anyone who actively obstructs or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences which include arrest.” Ramirez said her boyfriend tried to stop the Jeep, but unintentionally hit the truck.

Third world country bullshit.
Fucking pathetic. Look how scared the “federal agents” are. All over a fender bender.
A dozen federal agents needed to use explosives to enter a civilian home? And two children were present? All because the guy they’re looking for collided with a truck last week?
Pathetic attempt at flexing that makes the Fed look cartoonishly evil
The police state is now
All I’m saying is if California didn’t have such ridiculous gun laws, ICE would be treading way lighter.
