Federal agents were spotted in the city’s Arlandria neighborhood on Friday, Sept. 5.

There were no reports of arrests. Footage taken by ALXnow at around 9:30 a.m. shows multiple vehicles with Texas license plates in the parking lot of The Birchmere at 3701 Mount Vernon Avenue. A photo submitted to ALXnow also shows federal officers speaking to people at Four Mile Run Park near Casa Chirilagua (4109 Mount Vernon Avenue).

At The Birchmere, a protester yelled at the agents and was told that he would be pepper-sprayed if he did not move out of the way of multiple federal vehicles. There were at least seven federal vehicles with Texas license plates parked at The Birchmere, with many federal agents wearing face masks.

1. Lots of Latinos in that neighborhood

I've gone there for delicious food. But yes, plenty of Spanish speakers so of course ICE is being ICE.
