Several people detained during immigration raids at Anaheim car wash and Home Depot
The city of Anaheim says it's seeing more targeted immigration enforcement operations following a series of raids on Saturday.
Multiple videos of the raids were posted across social media, one of which shows a man being chased by agents and being tackled to the ground.
One of the operations happened at the Euclid Car Wash at Euclid Street near La Palma Avenue where one man was taken into custody.
According to the city, this is the third time the car wash has seen federal agent activity since July 3.
Another raid happened at the Home Depot store on Brookhurst Street. The city believes five laborers were detained and taken from the location by "five or more agents in uniforms resembling Border Patrol."
According to a statement posted on the city of Anaheim's website , that Home Depot has been a regular target of enforcement, with about a half dozen incidents since June.
"For those concerned about immigration enforcement, this should be considered a very high-risk site," read the statement.
The city says it's been seeing targeted enforcement and larger activity since a temporary restraining order went into effect. The city recently voted to join a federal lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement tactics.

"Anaheim is not involved in federal immigration enforcement and is not notified about any operations," read the city's statement. "As a city, we do not support how federal immigration enforcement is being done and have joined with other cities in litigation against enforcement tactics."
Protesters rallied against the raids Saturday, calling for residents to band together.
"Control your neighborhood and establish a base by your Home Depot, because Trump's not going to stop any time soon," said protester Izzy Ramirez, who lives in Anaheim. "We can vote as much as we can, but we're not going to vote for this type of culture away. It's all a reflection of what Trump's administration wants to do to the working class. I encourage everyone to go start a hub by your Home Depot, and be vigilant of who's there."
The city has been sharing updates on the immigration enforcement operations on its website, which are available in both English and Spanish.
Meantime, a federal agent fired shots during a targeted immigration enforcement operation in San Bernardino on Saturday morning, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
One of the men who was inside the vehicle that was shot at told ABC7 he was working with his father-in-law and 18-year-old son-in-law when their vehicle was suddenly surrounded by unmarked cars and masked men.
