Los Angeles is home to the country’s largest population of undocumented immigrants. So when President Trump’s immigration raids arrived, many expected trouble.

The recent wave of raids at Home Depots was reportedly influenced by White House advisor Stephen Miller, architect of Trump’s immigration policies.

Federal immigration officials appeared to target day laborers in raids Monday at a Home Deport in Santa Ana, leaders in Orange County said.
