Air Marshals Removed from LA County Restaurant

Three federal air marshals were mistaken for immigration agents and chased from a Lynwood restaurant on Wednesday evening, prompting a significant police response. The incident occurred around 6:20 p.m. at Plaza Mexico, where a crowd formed after rumors spread that the marshals were with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Deputies intervened, separating the marshals from the crowd and escorting them to safety in an unmarked van. No arrests were made, and the crowd dispersed shortly after.
