Federal agents use vehicles to trap and arrest driver in Boyle Heights, leaving child and passenger behind

Federal agents rammed and trapped a white sedan in Boyle Heights on Wednesday that contained a man, woman and child. Agents extracted the man, who was driving, before leaving behind the woman and child.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the scene to investigate the traffic collision, said Officer Tony Im, a department spokesperson. He referred all other inquiries to the Department of Homeland Security.

The agency addressed the incident through a social media post Wednesday afternoon.

“This was no hit and run. This was a targeted arrest of a violent rioter who punched a CBP officer,” the department posted on X, referring to Customs and Border Patrol. “When Homeland Security Investigations tried to arrest Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho for the assault, he attempted to flee. He was ultimately arrested and taken into custody.”
