Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents vacated a Coast Guard facility at Terminal Island in San Pedro that had served as a staging ground for immigration raids across Southern California for about eight months. Harbor Area Peace Patrols volunteers had been tracking agent movements since summer 2025, and Rep. Nanette Barragán confirmed the federal departure on February 14-15, 2026, noting it remains unclear whether it is permanent or if operations will relocate elsewhere in Los Angeles County. County Supervisor Janice Hahn credited the volunteer patrols for keeping residents informed, saying her office often learned about raids from the group because federal agencies would not share operational details. Two officials told NBC News that no new immigration surges are currently planned.
