Four anti-ICE activists were arrested after allegedly planting homemade tire deflation devices around vehicles belonging to federal law enforcement agents conducting immigration enforcement operations in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino, who is spearheading immigration enforcement operations in the greater Los Angeles area, reported the incident and provided photos of the makeshift tire deflation devices. In one image, a device can be seen piercing a tire of one of the federal law enforcement vehicles.
