Noem attends ICE raid at home of pregnant California mother
HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. (KTLA) — A pregnant mother of four in California was shocked to see around a half-dozen vehicles carrying heavily armed, masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents outside her home Thursday morning and even more concerned when she spotted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem along for the raid.
Sabrina Medina said she was in the shower at around 6 a.m. when her brother-in-law first saw the menacing presence in front of the family’s home.
“I was just terrified, I’m not going to lie to you,” Medina told Nexstar’s KTLA. “I was shaking. I was scared. I’ve never gone through anything like this.”
Medina, a U.S. citizen, said she looked out the window and saw 10 men dressed in tactical military gear, all of them carrying rifles.
“I was like, ‘Am I dreaming or is this real?’” she said.
According to Medina, the agents told her to exit her home with her children. Standing in the driveway, they showed her a warrant for her husband, with his name listed as David Garcia.
As she explained that her husband’s name is Jorge and that he was not at the house, one of the agents is captured on an outdoor home surveillance camera turning the device away from what was transpiring.

Here's the real story:
‘Fake News’: DHS Blows Up Latest Attempt by Media to Lie About ICE Raids
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) blew up the latest attempt by the legacy media to lie about ICE raids, calling out KTLA for reporting that the agency was targeting "a pregnant LA county mother."
In the post on Friday on X, the DHS responded to the LA market's report about the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid and headline that read "DHS Secretary Kristi Noem attends ICE raid at home of pregnant L.A. County mother."
"FAKE NEWS. At this house was an illegal alien from Mexico who had previously been deported," the DHS post read. "His criminal history includes drug trafficking and assault. ICE had a warrant for his arrest."Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, based in LA, also responded to the KTLA report and said the report was completely out of context, missing major facts.

@BillMelugin_
I was at this operation with Noem. It wasn’t targeting a “pregnant mother”, it was targeting her previously deported illegal alien Mexican husband who had been convicted of drug trafficking in February & had an attempted murder charge pleaded down to an assault conviction. ICE had a criminal judicial warrant for his arrest, signed off on by a federal judge, because he illegally re-entered the U.S. after removal, which is a felony.
Of course, none of that context is in
@KTLA
reporting here as they only spoke to his wife, who apparently *shockingly* didn’t disclose any of his criminal history.
"ICE had a criminal judicial warrant for his arrest, signed off on by a federal judge because he illegally re-entered the U.S. after removal, which is a felony," he added. "Of course, none of that context is in @KTLA reporting here as they only spoke to his wife, who apparently shockingly didn't disclose any of his criminal history."
In the KTLA report, the news organization interviewed the pregnant mother, Sabrina Medina, and Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, both of whom were very upset about the ICE raid. However, the news channel never reports why they were at Medina's house, nor the disturbing details in the arrest warrant.
Honestly, this is getting so frustrating. President Donald Trump ran on getting illegal immigrants out of this country, and at every turn, he and the DHS have been prevented from doing just that.
