U.S. Border Patrol agents appeared outside of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state and local leaders held a rally to unveil a proposed redistricting plan that Democratic lawmakers hope to put before voters in a special election.

A group of masked agents showed up in trucks outside of the news conference. U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino said agents were conducting "roving patrols" in the area. Bovino confirmed to CBS Los Angeles that one person was arrested outside the museum.

Newsom's office posted a video on X showing the agents outside of the museum saying, "BORDER PATROL HAS SHOWED UP AT OUR BIG BEAUTIFUL PRESS CONFERENCE! WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED!"
