On June 22, 2025, staging.mrcheckpoint.com/ received a tip and photo from a community member showing ICE agents at a car wash near Sepulveda & La Grange in Los Angeles. We rushed to the scene and were able to speak directly with an employee who witnessed the entire incident. What he shared was chilling.
“They pulled up fast and just took people. I don’t know where they went… it felt like they were abducted.”
This isn’t a scene from a dystopian movie. This is happening in our communities—in broad daylight. At a car wash.
If anyone recognizes the people who were taken or has more information, please contact us. We’re here to support however we can. Whether it’s getting legal help, spreading awareness, or simply amplifying voices — we got your back.
