This is the story of the day.

This is a pre-planned operation in LA!

Don't forget it

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

I was there, Karoline. The only “violent mob” is ICE, who is “illegally invading” SoCal and attacking its residents. LA will not take this lying down. #50501 #whichsideareyouon #fiftyfiftyone #LAstrong

The LA protests are NOT a violent insurrection. The people are peacefully protesting, which is their right. DON'T fall for the LIES!

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

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

ICE and DHS are trying to provoke rioting in Los Angeles. Where are @mayor.lacity.gov or @governor.ca.gov ???

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

Fact......

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

@repbarragan.bsky.social @robertgarcia.bsky.social DO SOMETHING! Stop this war against our people!

Our state is now a war zone, @governor.ca.gov. DO SOMETHING!

@governor.ca.gov MAKE THIS STOP NOW!! California residents have the right to live in peace.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @robertgarcia.bsky.social

ICE — GET OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD! @governor.ca.gov STOP THESE RAIDS.

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

Los Angeles is a powder keg of solidarity right now. The city is united. We’ve been through two labor strikes, two devastating fires, the business is in major contraction—it’s just a bad time to fuck with Angelenos. ICE knows this. They want violence. Don’t give it to them. Shoot video. Stay strong✊🏼

If this isn't grounds for a general strike I don't know what is.

Here’s video evidence that LAPD was not only securing the perimeter for the ICE / HSI raids, they were also inside the facility during the operation. Lying ass @LAPDHQ said they were “not involved in the immigration enforcement”… what does this look like to you?

Share this far and wide. It will only get worse.

Excellent question.

@governor.ca.gov YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. youtu.be/v9nxdZJbOZw?...
