Border agents were present outside a rally in Los Angeles where California Governor Gavin Newsom announced measures against Trump-supported redistricting efforts in Texas. As reported by Newsweek, agents appeared near the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center in Little Tokyo on August 14, coinciding with Newsom's proposal to redraw California’s congressional districts in counteraction to political gerrymandering in Texas. Newsom criticized the situation as “sick and pathetic,” claiming that the Trump administration employed federal law enforcement to intimidate political rivals. “It was top-down,” he stated to reporters post-rally. “They orchestrated it precisely to coincide with our press conference.” At least one person was detained during the operation, as shown in videos. Newsom's new redistricting proposal could potentially secure five additional congressional seats for Democrats in 2026, with a special election slated for November 4. The presence of federal agents drew significant criticism from Democratic officials, highlighting concerns over the misuse of federal law enforcement.
