Border Patrol agents clad in tactical gear jumped out of a Penske moving truck in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot before arresting more than a dozen immigrants early on Wednesday morning. U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong granted a temporary restraining order later that month, temporarily blocking federal agents from racially profiling people to carry out arrests and detentions. Bovino, the Border Patrol sector chief, credited Fox News with the video footage in an Instagram post — and compared agents to “The Odyssey” characters Odysseus, Achilles and Ajax. A spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security told HuffPost Border Patrol agents arrested 16 “illegal aliens from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua,” but also did not mention MS-13. U.S. Border Patrol El Centro Sector Chief Greg Bovino compared the Border Patrol agents who participated in Wednesday's raid to characters in "The Odyssey."
