Inside an Immigration Roundup: Crying Children, Closed Doors, Coffee

LOS ANGELES—Gathered in an subterraneous parking garage before emergence on a cold Feb morning, a organisation of 8 armed immigration officers listened closely to a sum of seven people wanted for immigration violations.

There was a Guatemalan male convicted of battery; a probable squad member with mixed transgression convictions; a Salvadoran inhabitant and immature label hilt with a grand burglary conviction; several sex offenders, and a male who spent time in jail as a juvenile.
