Six men were arrested at a Los Angeles car wash on a quiet Sunday afternoon .

ICE agents arrived at the Westchester Hand Wash on a busy shopping area just blocks from the city's airport.

Some customers froze as the officers in olive-green uniforms approached, CCTV footage shows.

Jesús Cruz , who has worked at the car wash for more than a decade , was among those arrested.

Residents say it's a mystery when and where immigration officers will show up next.

Immigration agencies do not typically announce where raids have happened, nor do they announce all arrests or where detainees are being held or jailed.

The unease caused one local minority non-profit to urge undocumented people to stay out of sight.
