Federal immigration agents have been found to have used derogatory language during raids in Los Angeles. The language, considered to be racial slurs, was used to refer to potential detainees of Hispanic and Latino descent. Body-camera footage and text messages have been cited in court filings, revealing the use of terms such as "wets" and "tonks".

These terms are widely considered to be offensive. Further details on the incident are available from the source, including transcripts of body-camera footage and court papers from the Central District of California. The incident occurred during Operation at Large in the summer of 2025.
