laistofficial Federal immigration agents chased a gardener into a Long Beach restaurant Thursday and took him into custody in front of two police officers who were briefly startled by the chaotic scene, witnesses told the Long Beach Post. The agents suddenly pulled up to Polly’s Pies restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Bixby Knolls in the morning and started running after a group of gardeners, according to Jacklyn Mitosinka, director of brand for the chain of restaurants, which her grandfather founded. Agents chased one of the men inside and tackled him in the waiting area in front of the hostess stand, Mitosinka said. LBPD officers were eating inside at the time, she said, and one “popped up quickly” and drew his gun in surprise, but he put it away once he saw the agents’ badges. In a statement, police said the officers “quickly realized it was an immigration enforcement activity and did not intervene or engage in the activity.” 🔗 Get the full story through the link in bio. ✍️ Jacob Sisneros | Long Beach Post 📸 Thomas R.
