Pretending that there's an emergency to increase his own power has been his thing since he took office. He did it with the Alien Enemies Act and with tariffs. By the time you get a court judgment that the emergency is fake he's already done what he wanted

White House: "Violent mobs have attacked ICE officers and Federal Law Enforcement Officers." LAPD: "Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful."

submitted 10 hours ago • 30 comments

As the LAPD is reporting, the protestors in LA are being peaceful. This is not a rebellion or an invasion. There is no legal basis, including under 10 U.S. Code § 12406, for Trump to take over California's National Guard. Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

The administration overreaction to a far from dramatic protest in LA kind of confirms how much they held back on January 6th because Trump was pro hang Mike Pence.

Look at these statements. These people push and push and push with their unlawful, totalitarian methods. They ignore the law at every turn and then throw the book at their opponents. We must be peaceful. We must try to be perfectly law abiding. But they will come for us anyway.

We are at the point that Blue States nationwide have to research if it's legally possible that the state and their citizens can withhold taxes to the federal government and pay them only to their state. Blue states should not fund Trump's war on Blue States and our freedoms.

JD Vance now wants to use the chaos ICE is causing in Los Angeles as pretext to pressure politicians to pass the Republican budget bill that will saddle Americans with trillions of dollars of debt, skyrocket the deficit, take away people’s healthcare, and give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

Vance is claiming that residents of Los Angeles protesting illegal and unconstitutional actions by ICE are a hostile foreign invasion that must be repelled by military force. Just so we’re clear.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.
