Gov. Gavin Newsom said California will sue the Trump administration on Monday over its deployment of the National Guard to quell Los Angeles protests against federal immigration raids. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait. Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest. Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, the protests have spilled up to NorCal now #abolishICE #stopICE #defundICE

Protest heading into night for 3rd day straight

Fuck ICE Fuck MAGA Fuck Trump

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

I didn’t even know about this #ICE

ICE IN PASADENA NOW

WHAT’S NEXT? I’m going back tomorrow to demand answers. On Friday, ICE blocked my legal oversight at the Roybal Building. I’m checking on detained women & kids, labor leader David Huerta, and why attorneys are being shut out. I’m not stopping.

Don't fall for the lies. They want you to believe Los Angeles is in chaos. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is how crazy its going in Los Angeles… detainees flash their lights in solidarity from their prison rooms

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Stephen Miller watches in sheer delight, at the pain, and the terror, and the misery that he personally caused - just so he could just watch it all burn. #StephenMiller #LosAngeles

This is what fascism looks like, can’t take criticism from the media! Its ok, can do it better. #StephenMiller looks like a starved albino snake that aspires to be like Voldemort. FOAD

This is Los Angeles activated in about 8 hours. If the Guard wants to overstay their welcome, we’ll see what happens when 12 million people actually get organized. #defundICE

Here is the 101 in Los Angeles at this moment with reportedly 1,000 protestors holding up traffic on the freeway

HAPPENING NOW: LAPD just issued a citywide tactical alert. Tens of thousands are flooding LA streets in protest of ICE raids. They’re not backing down. The city is on fire—figuratively and politically. This is what resistance looks like. FUCK ICE. FUCK TRUMP. www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/l...

Important messaging

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command… “This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.”

We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE

ICE OUT OF LA!

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

BREAKING The administration of California Governor Gavin Newsom is asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind his order and return the National Guard to the control of the State of California.

Breaking: California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he has formally requested the Trump admin rescind their "unlawful deployment" of troops in Los Angeles and "return them to my command."

Its getting worse in LA, was worried about this. The National Guard and ICE officers need to go before its out of w

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

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

Los Ángeles is only the first city, MAGA and Trump don’t have enough troops to keep up the pace. Mayors and governors need to back the American people over the Trump regime ICE forces.

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president. But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

“The thirteen ICE officials meanwhile, fell ill immediately after landing and are currently suffering from respiratory infections, as well as extreme heat and cramped living conditions”. Not good for anyone involved

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

The California National Guard and Trump's ICE regime forces attacked unarmed US citizens, protestors and media, with tear gas, smoke grenades, and pellet rounds. They pushed them into the street and declared a 'unlawful assembly', a violation of people's first amendment. #StopICE (📹@JamesQueallyLAT)

Call to action for California: Mass mobilization, Sunday 2pm, LA City Hall. #3E #StopICE

More cities do this, please. This regime will show up on your community next!

To recap: •DOJ orders ICE to arrest people without a judicial warrant •People peacefully protest this illegal act •LAPD confirms people protested peacefully •Trump fabricates claim of violence—deploys National Guard Fascists escalate violence—don’t fall for it. Stand united against Trump's tyranny.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
