A federal immigration agent pulled out a handgun and pointed it just inches from the face of a bystander during an apparent operation in North Hollywood on Friday morning, according to video obtained by The Times.
The bystander was not detained or taken into custody by federal officials during the incident, but a person who appeared to be a masked federal agent shoved the man into bushes and pointed the handgun at his face after the bystander tossed a spray canister into the street that had been dropped by another agent, according to video and a witness.
