Border Patrol Raid at Sacramento Home Depot Yields 10 Arrests
The Sacramento Bee is offering tips to illegal aliens fearful of ICE raids

The Sacramento Bee is offering tips to illegal aliens fearful of ICE raids in “What to do during ICE raids: Sacramento residents guide,” following a Border Patrol raid at a Sacramento Home Depot Thursday.
KCRA reported, “Masked Border Patrol agents on Thursday raided a Home Depot parking lot in the south Sacramento area, resulting in multiple arrests.”
“Masked agents.” Did KCRA ever identify Antifa thugs as “masked?”
Bill Melugin with Fox News was there and reported:
We joined Border Patrol as they carried out immigration enforcement in Sacramento this morning. Suspected illegal immigrants scattered as soon as agents pulled into a Home Depot, leading to foot pursuits. BP tells us they surveilled the location & ran plates for two days beforehand, with some coming back as previously deported illegal immigrants. Roughly 10 arrests made in this location, including a U.S. citizen who agents say slashed the tire on one of their vehicles and was later chased down & maced. @USBPChiefELC tells us records checks revealed one of the arrested men is an aggravated felon with a prior conviction for fentanyl trafficking.
Melugin posted photos on X of the slashed tire:
Melugin also posted the statement to Fox News from California Governor Gavin Newsom:
Statement to @FoxNews via Governor @GavinNewsom office:
“Trying to escape a court order stopping their reprehensible and illegal racial profiling and illegal arrests in L.A., Border Patrol came to Sacramento to spread more of their chaos and fear. They should go do their jobs – at the border.”
Read the comments in response to Newsom’s statement – the California Governor is savaged by people who say ‘this is what we voted for.”
The Bee reported that one of the individuals captured by ICE is reported to be a citizen of the United States, but as Melugin notes, he was caught slashing ICE agents’ tires.
U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino posted video on his official Instagram page:
“No such thing as a sanctuary city, no such thing as a sanctuary state.
Operations are underway in the #Sacramento area to interdict illegal activity and safeguard our nation through this Title 8 mission. We appreciate your continued support as we work to secure the homeland at our borders and beyond.
We’re here, and we’re not going anywhere.”
Last week federal agents raided two Central Coast cannabis farms, owned by Santa Barbara resident Graham Farrar, “who has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records,” Fox News reported. “According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.”
10 children were found at one of the cannabis farms, all undocumented and eight were unaccompanied, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott. The owners of Glass House Farms are now facing allegations they violated child labor laws, CalCoast News reported.
As Andy Caldwell, executive Director of COLAB reported, “The first priority of ICE is to deport convicted criminals and others who have already received their final orders to deport. A second priority is rescuing the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who disappeared after having crossed the border as it is expected that the vast majority of these children are being trafficked. A third priority of the federal government is shutting down cartel-related business enterprises in our country, those that appear legal, and those that are engaged in violence, illicit drug sales, and human trafficking, including prostitution of children.”

That fool Gavin Newsom and His Entourage are down, down, down. Public scorn is high. ICE successes and determination are up, up, up. They just keep coming, and what you don’t see is just as important as what you do (self-deportation). The Sacramento Bee and their misplaced “tips” are all but washed up. Their flimsy, lightweight, empty stuff is not going to prevail in the end. Sorry, “leaders.”
More please! We have a country to save.
Keep up with the Home Depot raids. It can get sketchy at some of the Home Depots in my area. Cities do not enforce loitering laws anymore.
Make them scatter like rats.
But one of these guys who claims he is an American citizen was arrested for slitting the tires of Federal Authorities. He gets chased, roughed up and arrested for his violent act! He then plays up for the cameras that he didn’t do anything and he is legal! Love it! Put that on replay. This not your local police giving you a nod and looking the other way.
No dude, you committed a crime against the Feds! You are going to prison not county jail!! This is real law enforcement looks like.
Sanctuary cities and states are like unicorns, THEY DO NOT EXIST.
Thank You Border Patrol and ICE.
So nice to have your site to come to for ACTUALLY reporting — calling balls and strikes.
This is good news. Newsom & Bonta were not able to “Ice” proof Sacramento. Chock one up for the good guys.
The Guber is criminally insane.
There is no sanctuary, only false hopes, misery, and the dangerous entropy of American values.
Missing from these reports of ICE arresting illegal immigrants at Home Depot parking lots is the fact that these “day workers” are being paid cash. They pay no taxes. However, many of them receive government subsidies, particularly in California.
Fed Up, excellent point. I heard that California spends 31 billion in assistance programs to collect 8 billion in taxes from illegal aliens. Only Newsom and his crowd would think that this a is a good deal.
It is if they can get VOTES from those people, and California Democrats twist voting laws into pretzels to obfuscate the voting fraud they commit to obtain, and retain, power…
Keep the ICE heat on, please!!!
Many of you, do doubt, saw Sacramento’s mayor Kevin MCarty’s statement* condemning ICE’s action and standing firm on protecting the city’s “sanctuary” status. Did any Sacramentan ever get a chance to vote that their city be a sanctuary for people who break the law?

Bminks – It’s hilarious the way the Usual Suspects like Kevin McCarty and others keep attempting to claim the moral high ground, isn’t it? Meanwhile, they have the morals of a mob of smash-and-grabbers on a rampage. The bottom line is that if illegals are constantly streaming in to this country to be exploited in every way, and if the stream is significantly slowed or stopped, the Usual Suspect Dem politicians’ undeserved reign is OVER. DONE. FINISHED. As you know.
I received an email from my city council member yesterday condemning law enforcement the efforts of our federal border patrol, calling it terrorism. I responded that it was the democrats who allowed the terrorists to invade our country for four years. I cautioned her not to encourage her constituents to obstruct our law enforcement doing their jobs to keep us safe.
“S” – That’s an excellent response to an insulting democrat email. National security, sovereignty, and safety have been intentionally undermined by the democrat party, and many lives have been lost as a direct result. Thanks for making an effort to speak on behalf of American citizens.
This enforcement will not be tolerated! Doesn’t anybody see that Trump is taking away our serfs! Do these MAGA Nazis expect us to raise our own kids, mow our own lawns, or encourage our own sons to learn a useful trade? Republicans have stolen everything us Democrats value. Lincoln took away our slaves and now Trump is removing our servants. How will we be able to afford our Teslas, million dollar homes in comfortable white areas, white wine, cross country ski trips in our Subarus, and gated neighborhoods? I may have to go back to my job at the State Water Board in the HR Department.

Good point. Your satirical post highlights that Dem politicians —- and in this case probably the average Dem, DO NOT CARE about illegal aliens and their welfare AT ALL as they claim. They only want to use them, whether it is as cheap labor to do the domestic tasks they think are beneath them, to generate illegitimate mail-in ballots that can then be filled out by union members and others and submitted to win elections for Dems, to skew the population numbers for the census to add more undeserved (Dem) state political representation, and to virtue-signal often manufactured sob stories for the press to animate the base and to fund-raise. They are not bothered by the horror stories of a wide-open border, the children and others who are trafficked, the violent criminals, gangs, cartels, deadly drugs let in with impunity, the diseases spread. They do not care about the burdens on taxpayers to pay for every living expense imaginable, the housing scarcity for citizens that results, the overcrowded emergency rooms, and the rest.
Bingo, Plumb Crazy.
I love your style. Oh no, what will they do?😂 The cryin’ Karen’s Utopia is being destroyed by upholding law and order. I guess they could start saving a buck by making their own avocado toast and coffee at home.
I am sure teenagers would love to mow lawns and earn a little spending money.
Cali Girl, don’t know if you heard or saw — there is a major radio and TV blitz featuring Kristi Noem going on — I think it started yesterday or today —- showing what kinds of violent and hardened criminals are being picked up in these illegal alien raids, explaining why of course they are being picked up, arrested and deported, and it’s quite good and effective. Something like this is needed from the Feds and I was very glad to see it.
I did catch a bit of her ad. It is excellent, I need to watch it in its entirety.
It is inconceivable to me that some people do not fully grasp these people broke the laws of our country when they snuck in or overstayed a visa. And worse yet many have criminal records.
I hope DHS takes advantage of empty billboards as well.
Fun fact:,Obama deported 3 million people in his 2 terms. [Approximately 75–83% of deportations during Obama’s tenure were nonjudicial, meaning many individuals did not have the opportunity to present their case before a judge.]
Immigrant rights organizations nicknamed him “The Deporter in Chief”
I wonder what McCarty and Newsolini have to say about that?
TDS.
Oh no, not masks AND shades! I’m calling the Guber’s office right now… he’ll fix this!
😎/sarcasm
ICE, ICE Baby! Keep it up. Thank you!
Bravo! More Please!
Arrest the store managers who are in charge of their parking lot for aiding and abetting illegal aliens. And arrest the CEO’s of Home Depot for aiding and abetting illegal aliens who made income illegally in The Home Depot Parking lots. Arrest, jail with no bail, convict and jail again.
I’m loving these RAIDs. To quote our Democrat friends, “No one is above the law.”
