Military operation in LA's MacArthur Park (which did not appear to actually involve detaining people, thankfully... looks to be grandstanding and/or deliberate provocation)

ABC7: Troops aid federal immigration agents during raid at MacArthur Park, officials say

"Defense officials told ABC News that 90 armed troops were involved in the operation in support of immigration authorities in Los Angeles. All of the troops involved in the operation were activated members of the California National Guard. The operation included some 17 humvees, four military cargo trucks and two military ambulances."

Video shows armed federal agents, some on horses, walking across a soccer pitch. Mayor Bass said minutes before, more than 20 kids were playing on the field.
