The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating several attacks on federal personnel and property by pro-invasion radicals in California on Friday.
At least two disturbing incidents unfolded in Los Angeles County as U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents and vehicles were “violently targeted during lawful operations,” DHS says.
A federal vehicle was intentionally rammed and had its tires slashed on Atlantic Boulevard in Bell, a small city south of Los Angeles.
A similar episode unfolded in nearby Maywood as another USBP vehicle was totaled when a suspect crashed into it.
“The driver was arrested for suspicion of vehicular assault as a mob formed and slashed additional tires. LAPD, LAFD, OFO teams, and Border Patrol Special Operations responded and restored order,” DHS explained in a statement.
Photographs shared by DHS indicate weapons or projectiles were used to inflict substantial damage to the vehicles’ windows, as well.
