Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard.. The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

So does this also mean the ICE agents who are regularly hiding their identity with face masks?

Every accusation is a confession.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

You wouldn’t listen back in October. Now that it’s staring you directly in the face, can you hear the truth?

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

So, the President of the United States has taken control of and deployed the National Guard in the state of California, taking this right and responsibility away from the governor of CA. Does anyone see a problem with this? #AuthoritarianTrump

ICE crossed a line in LA

Seriously. This is spot on. Our government has turned on its people. This doesn't end well.

Ahem.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

Head’s up. The Insurrection Act has not been invoked. This is against the will of the State of California #NationalGuard #USArmedForces

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day on Saturday in Los Angeles County, filling streets with tear gas and smoke. nyti.ms/4kUON0y

The images today are chilling. Tanks being moved into DC while ICE drives through protesters and barricades.

Trump MAGA reminds me of the Dominion. Watching "The Way Of The Warrior". Captain Sisko says this is exactly what the Founders want. Klingon against Cardassian! Federation against Klingon! The more we fight each other, the weaker we'll get, and the less chance we have against the Dominion!

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