U.S. immigration officials confirmed Sunday that they arrested two people during a July 4 raid at a West Hollywood car wash, both of whom were described as Mexican nationals who were in the United States illegally.

“On July 4th, Border Patrol conducted enforcement operations in West Hollywood, resulting in the arrest of two criminal illegal aliens: Juan Carlos Delgado-Abelino, an illegal alien from Mexico, has illegally entered the country twice. Silvestre JimenezI-Gomez, an illegal alien from Mexico, was previously convicted of possession of a controlled substance,” a senior Department of Homeland Security official said in an email to City News Service.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted the raid at around 11 a.m. Friday at the Santa Palm Car Wash at 8787 Santa Monica Blvd.

West Hollywood officials condemned the raid.

“On a day meant to honor the ideals of liberty, democracy, andfreedom from oppression, we instead confront a deeply troubling reminder of federal overreach. Independence Day should be a time for reflection and reverence, not fear and persecution,” they said in a statement Friday.

Another July 4 arrest was reported in Highland Park, where a foodvendor was detained by masked federal agents, according to KTLA5, which said Homeland Security officials confirmed the arrest and identified the man as LuisbThomas Mejia-Canil, a Guatemalan national who allegedly had overstayed his visa.

His family said Mejia-Canil was arrested in front of the Target onEagle Rock Boulevard and El Paso, KTLA5 said.

Homeland Security officials are encouraging those here without legal standing to self-deport using the CBP Home App, which allows eligiblebindividuals to notify CBP of their intent to depart the country, potentially avoiding detention and removal actions. Eligible people could receive travel assistance and a $1,000 “exit bonus.”

“We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of thisoffer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return,” the department said.

Also Sunday, activists in Alhambra announced plans to press CityCouncil members to be more proactive in combating ICE actions in their community. They scheduled a 1:30 p.m. rally before Monday’s Alhambra council meeting, then plan to go inside to speak in favor of a resolution similar one adopted in June by Huntington Park’s elected officials.

“As seen on countless social media posts, the police stand by idly asbour community is getting kidnapped off the street — no warrants, no ID, no questions,” organizers said. “ … We need action as soon as possible, not more words and affirmations from our legislators.”

The rally and council presentation are being coordinated by members of the San Gabriel Progressive Alliance and the Alhambra Community Group.

Under the proposed resolution, Alhambra police would be required to:

— confirm the identity and legitimacy of individuals claiming to actas federal agents;

— enforce local laws and statutes accordingly, including issuingcitations to agents if they break the law;

— verify warrants and take note of the scope, dates, person mentioned in the warrant and the signing judge;

— and restrict unjust unconstitutional searches, seizures and arrest if activities occur without a warrant.
