Letter to the Editor: Heavily Armed Department of Homeland Security Agents Seen in the Outer Richmond

Most of them were armed with pistols in holsters, but the HSI people carried heavy weaponry and wore bullet-proof vests.  One had what appeared to be an assault rifle with a stand for it in the back of his vest.  Another had a submachine gun hanging across his chest. I watched one of the team walk across the street carrying what appeared to be an assault rifle.
