Dozens were out protesting in the city of Bell Friday following an ICE raid at a car wash that ended with multiple people being detained.
Federal agents arrived at Jack’s Car Wash on Atlantic Avenue around 2:30 p.m., where they detained at least two individuals, both of whom appear to be employees of the business.
Another man was also detained for impeding agents, according to his brother.
