Masked federal agents grabbed a day laborer off the street outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles … locals who saw the apprehension were pissed … and it’s all on video.
TMZ obtained video showing a swarm of feds — some wearing U.S. Customs and Border Patrol vests — pulling up in 3 SUVs and questioning a man who was parked on the curb in a hauling truck, looking for work.
The incident happened Monday morning across the street from the Home Depot in Playa Vista … and the agents are on video claiming the guy told them he was an illegal immigrant.
After a few minutes of back-and-forth, the agents grab the man out of his truck, place him in handcuffs and throw him in the back of an SUV … all while a crowd gathers and hurls insults at the feds.
