According to witnesses, the federal agents have been seen patrolling the area, questioning residents and conducting searches near several churches and apartment buildings. The presence of these agents has left many residents feeling uneasy and unsure of the reason behind their presence.
One resident, Maria Rodriguez, expressed her concerns, saying, “I was walking to church with my children when we saw a group of federal agents questioning a group of young men near the entrance. It was a scary sight and I couldn’t help but wonder why they were there and what they were looking for.”
