SKYCal first captured visuals of the operation at about 10:45 a.m., as officers on horseback moved from one end of the park to the other. Officers didn't take anyone into custody while traveling on horseback at that time.

The L.A. Police Department told CBS News Los Angeles that it was unaware of any ongoing operation at MacArthur Park.

At least some of the officers appeared to be with U.S. Customs and Border Protection based on signage on their vehicles. A small protest began to gather as the officers exited the park.

At around 11:05 a.m., Mayor Karen Bass exited a vehicle and approached CBP officers in an unannounced visit. At one point, a CBP officer handed Bass a cell phone.
