In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Watch as this LAPD cop takes deliberate aim at an Australian reporter, then shoots her at close range. I would fire the police chief over this. Inexcusable thuggery.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Australian Journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social targeted and shot with a rubber bullet by LAPD, collaborating with Trump regime ICE forces, live on air. The regime loyalist took aim at the press and fired. #StopICE

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Statement from Kamala Harris on Los Angeles We also stand with the millions to protect our fundamental rights and freedoms

Get used to this sh*t since Trump is de-funding FDA food testing. Did you vote for this? I didn’t.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Only 5 months into this thug's term and already deploying the military on US citizens. The nation's heart and soul lay in Los Angeles today. Let's hope the California National Guard make like the Irish in Braveheart. ☘️

On law and order

Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard against protests the *LAPD* commended for their nonviolence is a clear attempt to escalate, sow chaos, and chill dissent. First with the ICE raids, then with this militarized response, we're seeing the tyranny of the Trump regime on full display.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

“Stephen Miller wants everyone arrested. What aren’t you at Home Depot?” Miller gathered top 50 ICE Officials in DC to roast them. “You’re horrible leaders.” Article cites original reporting by: www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

If the Trump administration worked half as hard on real immigration reform as they do on headlines about it, we wouldn’t need the National Guard to cover their failures, or to distract from who’s in the Epstein files.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

ICE crossed a line in LA

I am an originalist, in that I believe in tarring and feathering assholes like this.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

Deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles is authoritarian and illegal.

BREAKING: Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell releases a statement after an ICE raid earlier today, saying that his officers will not cooperate or assist ICE in any way.

Stumbled into this and was captivated the whole way through. Brilliant show and performances. That ending line was a gut punch. #GoodNightAndGoodLuck

I’m a rebel. And a loser.

Did yall hear that one about the taco that said he was gonna cancel Elon’s contracts?

At the 2016 DNC, Hillary Clinton issued a chilling warning: “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.” Years later, her words ring louder than ever—she saw the chaos coming, and she’s been right all along.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in U.S. custody after being illegally deported and will now face federal human trafficking charges in Tennessee.

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.
