Federal immigration agents detained a group of day laborers on Tuesday morning in Pomona, activists said. Claudia Bautista, the executive director with the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center, said the organization was notified at around 9:30 a.m. that immigration agents were at the Home Depot on Towne Avenue.

Federal agents were caught on camera Tuesday detaining what witnesses said were more than a dozen day workers at a Home Depot parking lot in Pomona. Video showed several immigration officers outside the parking lot of the store and nearby.

Some Pomona residents were joined by activists as they demanded the release of more than a dozen day laborers who were seen being taken into custody by federal agents outside of a Home Depot on Tuesday.
