LOS ANGELES—Agents with the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) have been deployed to Los Angeles amid anti-deportation riots sweeping the city, with more Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on standby to deploy if needed, a source with CBP told The Epoch Times on condition of anonymity. 

The deployment of the SWAT-like unit comes amid chaos in America’s second-largest city, where riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations have entered their fourth consecutive day. The riots have led to personal and property damage across the city, looting, and other acts of violence that have so far resulted in 21 arrests, according to local authorities.

BORTAC agents are the highly trained arm of the Border Patrol, with a focus on counterterrorism, high-risk warrant service, anti-narcotics operations, and similarly dangerous or complex CBP enforcement activities. 

Agents with the specialized unit were deployed domestically to Los Angeles in 1992 to quell the riots that followed the acquittal of the officers involved in the beating of Rodney King. They are also often deployed in the aftermath of natural disasters, to provide security at high-profile events like the Super Bowl, and for other domestic and international law enforcement. 

Another source, Manny Bayon—president of the National Border Patrol Council union based in San Diego—confirmed to The Epoch Times that more Border Patrol reinforcements were dispatched to Los Angeles from Yuma, Arizona, El Centro, California, and San Diego. 

“ICE was doing the job. They requested reinforcements, so obviously, Border Patrol is going to send people up there,” he said, noting that several other federal units have also gotten involved.
