Federal agents execute warrants in Pasadena; DHS leads operations

Federal agents and officers cleared the scene after law enforcement activity drew a crowd earlier today, Pasadena Police Department officials said.

Officers were called to 144 West Houston Avenue in Pasadena to assist with crowd control after a gathering formed outside the residence.

A department spokesperson said the Department of Homeland Security appeared to be leading the operation and was believed to be executing a warrant at the property.

Our Sky 2 Chopper was over the scene and captured the law enforcement presence.

PPD was not involved in the investigation itself, only providing support to maintain order. The department added that it will continue to respond only if called to assist with public safety or crowd management.

Earlier in the day, a foot pursuit ended at a washateria near Richey Street and West Southmore Avenue, also in Pasadena. That incident was led by DHS as well.

Officials added that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is conducting multiple warrant operations throughout Pasadena today.

No additional details about the nature of the warrants or any arrests have been released. KPRC 2 has reached out to ICE for additional information.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
