The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

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.

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.

These allegations are serious: that Abrego Garcia transported undocumented immigrants illegal firearms, and narcotics from TX to MD on over 100 trips. What's important is that the government will have to present their evidence and that Abrego Garcia will have his day in court. He gets due process.

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

Snatched in plain sight. Congress, where are you on this? Plainclothes. No identification. Unmarked cars with everyday plates. Anyone can throw on regular clothes, flash a fake badge, and claim to be “ICE.” A reckless operation and dangerous. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Thoughts - I know what I have posted of the ICE thuggery in Los Angeles has made the rounds in the echo chamber - and well it should. But this is happening all up and down my state - arrests without warrants in businesses, homes, fields, outside court rooms. These are gestapo tactics.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

🚨 Armed agents in tactical gear. Flash-bang grenades. So-called 'less-lethal' weapons". All used on peaceful protesters in LA demanding dignity for immigrants. This is what a police state looks like. This is what happens when cruelty becomes policy. We must speak out.
