Trump/Bondi appointed crony. Back in June this is the prick who okayed the warrant so ICE agents could raid the shop in the downtown LA garment district and arrested union leader David Huerta. Charged with impeding an officer -- the usual b.s. charge.

U.S. Justice Department officials said judicially approved search warrants were being executed at both Carvalho’s office in downtown Los Angeles and his San Pedro residence. No reason for the raids has been made public.

The underlying affidavits are sealed, officials told news outlets. District officials have not yet spoken publicly about the matter. A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said there would be no press conference on the raids Wednesday.
