Via @spocko : Remember in 2020 when the last Trump press secretary claimed there was no tear gas used at Lafayette Square to clear the crowd? I wonder if this time Stephen Miller will be in LA with the National Guard so he can hold a Bible upside down next to a taco truck?

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

“This inital use of federal troops in a blue city should be understood as an effort to build pressure to help pass the bill. It should also be used as an example of the danger of passing the bill — the kind of authoritarianism that Miller intends to wield if the bill does pass.”

Note THUS FAR, LAT is covering this as a response to Trump's ICE escalation (other outlets are treating the protests as the spark).

Posting this bc Bluesky users often miss things being reported on Xitter, and as a result falsely claim nothing is happening. Two of these MoCs (Jimmy Gomez was one) were still present when the tear gas started.

I've seen little comment abt assault-and-arrest of David Huerta, which preceded Trump's escalation yesterday, and which fits the model we saw with Delaney Hall and Jerry Nadler's office. Unlike the prior targets, Huerta doesn't have obvious immunity. He was also injured in the assault.

If you live in a GOP district in CA, start calling your Rep about how Trump's Big Ugly Bill aims to invade California, and they MUST vote against giving up CA's sovereignty bc Stephen Miller ordered the invasion of Home Depot.

There is a lot of organized messaging on Xitter. Much of it ALSO ties passage of BBB to this--tipping their hand that invasion of Home Deport and Los Angeles is abt attention management. But there are ALSO people noting that Trump encouraged assaults on cops. And ALSO still MoCs messaging there.
