Federal immigration agents have been found to have used derogatory language during raids in Los Angeles. The language, considered to be racial slurs, was used to refer to Hispanic and Latino individuals. This information has come to light through court evidence, including body-camera footage and text messages.

The derogatory terms used by agents include "wets" and "tonks". The term "tonks" is reportedly a reference to the sound made by hitting someone with a heavy object. Further details on this incident are available from the source.
