ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

All we want is healthcare.

Stephen Miller brutally ridiculed by observers for 'crying' about 'insurrection' www.newsbreak.com/raw-story-20...

“He said he will target & punish those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will. He calls these Americans ‘The Enemy Within’, including journalists & judges. He says he would use the American Military to go after American Citizens.” -Kamala Harris. She Was Right About Everything.

Only in LA would protesters think to tag the ground so it’s visible in helicopter shots.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Bingo

“.. California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the raids, calling them ‘chaotic federal sweeps’ that aimed to fill an ‘arbitrary arrest quota.’” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

What country is this?

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.

💥 BREAKING: ICE tries to raid Home Depot located at 6400 Alondra Blvd. Paramount, CA Protesters are able to successfully stop them. 6/7/2025 @12 pm #ice #raids #losangeles

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

With you in spirit, LA. ❤️ from Portugal.

Ohh He's crying He was all alone

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

Awww you guys - the Acting Director of ICE is really upset that we keep accurately refering them the American Gestapo and calling out their kidnappings. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

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

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

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

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.

WTAF?! Why is this being ALLOWED, at all? 👇 Thoughts?!

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Anyone in a mask attacks me or my family, god help them

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Trump to Deploy National Guard, without coordination with the Governor, in LA Amid ICE Protests, despite minimal violence www.today.com/video/trump-...

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

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.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

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.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

And who they didn't approve of

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

What would Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill mean for Americans? 50,000 more deaths each year because of huge health care cuts and higher drug prices. All to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. We’re fighting back to stop it.
