Here is LA yesterday, the side that the news won't show you because it's not going to get views and clicks.

The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown
After deportations fell short of President Trump’s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to ‘just go out there and arrest illegal aliens’

Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away. “Who here thinks they can do it?” Miller said, asking for a show of hands. 

ICE agents appeared to follow Miller’s tip and conducted an immigration sweep Friday at the Home Depot in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Westlake in Los Angeles, helping set off a weekend of protests around Los Angeles County, including at the federal detention center in the city’s downtown. On Saturday, Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to Southern California, despite objections by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The article goes on to give a number of examples of mistakes made in arresting migrants or cases where disproportionate force or deception was used. Seems that Miller's little "pep talk" to ICE management has set off a level of zeal and cruelty in arrests that are out of the norm.

There are no written directives, but officers have been told to “do what you need to do” to make more arrests, according to current and former ICE officials familiar with the directives. The administration’s immigration enforcement is a sharp break with past government practices, according to attorneys, immigration advocates and officials from previous administrations. 

Federal agents make warrantless arrests. Masked agents take people into custody without identifying themselves. Plainclothes agents in at least a dozen cities have arrested migrants who showed up to their court hearings. And across the U.S., people suspected of being in the country illegally are disappearing into the federal detention system without notice to families or lawyers, according to attorneys, witnesses and officials.

They were HSI, which is a part of ICE that does not focus on immigration enforcement. You can’t think of any reason why HSI, which is an agency that investigates human trafficking and child exploitation offenses, might want to talk with children?

They lied about having permission to speak to the children, and scampered off when questioned. The goal was intimidation. Make sure everyone knows kids aren't safe at school.

First, regardless of your thoughts - entering the country illegally is a crime.
Second, have you not seen the profiles and crimes of the illegal alien criminals that have been arrested in LA over the past few days? Do you think they should be left to walk the streets freely?

FOX talking points....we know they are arresting all immigrants even those going to their hearings and following the process legally. So give us a break intelligent adults read more than one source for their news and information. You droning on with MAGA messaging just makes you a fool.

You didn’t answer the question. Do you think these violent illegal alien criminals should be free to walk the streets?

NP, of course not. But these raids aren’t about nonviolent they’re about sweeping up children at their kindergarten graduation. Steve Miller is trying to go from 600 to 3000 arrests in a week. There aren’t enough violent criminals to meet his quota so working families it is.

It’s really not worth debating you when you go off on others hyperbole.

DP...that isn't hyperbole, it is fact. Get new sources of information.
