Los Angeles immigrants swept up in Ice raids already deported in some cases

One man told his parents he thought he signed for a Covid test but feared he had accidentally consented to deportation

Some Angelenos rounded up by federal immigration agents have already been deported, according to a new report, as a fuller picture emerges of the immigrants arrested during raids in Los Angeles that have triggered a wave of protests there and in other cities across the US.

The Trump administration has not released a count - but the parents of a 23-year-old member of Mexico's Indigenous Zapotec community told the Washington Post they had received a phone call from their son telling them he had been dropped off at the US-Mexico border and told to cross over.
