6. SOUNDBITE (English) Elliot Spagat, The Associated Press:

9. Border Patrol agents driving to car wash to make arrests
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Elliot Spagat, The Associated Press:
"After the Home Depot, the same strike team went to a car wash in the Los Angeles suburb of Montebello and made two arrests. We don’t know if they were the targets yet. Two employees in orange shirts. The employees ran as soon as the agents pulled up. Again, very quickly blocking the exits, blocking the alleys."
11. Border Patrol agent handling two handcuffed persons out of car wash
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Elliot Spagat, The Associated Press:
"Got control of the place very quickly and it was very quiet unlike the Home Depot scene. No sirens, no shouting, some employees and customers did take video of everything happening but it was really just to record it. We heard some horns honking but it was really in and out very quickly."
13. Wide shot of two people in handcuffs after being arrested
14. Two men in orange shirts being led away in handcuffs
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Elliot Spagat, The Associated Press:
"The head of Border Patrol in El Centro, California, who is now on temporary assignment heading CBP operations in Los Angeles, says that they’re here to stay. He’d said that yesterday. He reaffirmed it when he visited Governor Gavin Newsom’s news conference, which left the Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, very incensed. But he has repeated over and over again. There is no timetable to leave Los Angeles and they’re here to stay."

STORYLINE:
U.S. Border Patrol agents made more arrests in Los Angeles and the surrounding area, arresting a woman selling food outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles and workers at a car wash in Montebello, California.
Since June, the Los Angeles region has been a battleground in the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration strategy.
The detentions come days after agents jumped out of the back of a truck and made arrests at a Home Depot as part of a raid the agency official called “Operation Trojan Horse.”
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the crash, he said.
