Protests against ICE in LA

Things *always* get ugly here. This crazy-ass city is no joke when it comes to theatrics and dramas.😂

Those ICE agents should feel blessed.

A different stroke of luck and they might've ended up stranded in a container ship in Djibouti with deportees!

Dark blue California outrage is so electorally important!

R2, they’re dressed in tactical gear and firing tear gas just to fight random citizens on the street. Stunning and brave.

Holy crap.

I hope it doesn’t bad after dark.

We knew this was coming...

Wait until they deploy the National Guard.

^We've had the National Guard down here once or twice before!

It's such a shame the same wasn't deployed on the Capitol Insurrectionists.

Wake up The ICE gestapo are not invading Texass & Flawduh. Next is state of emergency and National Guard troops. Shitler has declared war on Commiefornia.

Keep Hope alive.

Trump will use this to declare martial law

I'm kinda surprised that neither CNN nor MSNBC are on this....I get its the weekend, but still.

ICE can try to suppress protests for a while with military actions, but ai actually think this will make resistances/demonstrations against ICE worse.

The most significant aspect of these protests is the lack of black citizens. It's been an interesting development. Blacks saying that this isn't their fight. They did the right thing when they voted. Now they won't be shot, which is what this administration wants.

Any violence in this is 100% being started by alt right agents provacatuer. Scumbags.

R14, this is just one in a million things going on in the city. People who live in towns where the local Olive Garden opening or closing makes the news wouldn't understand it.

CNN is covering it

It’s been extensively covered on MSNBC.

R19, R20, ewww, cable news.

Trump's Reichstag Fire?

Marshall Law!

I think Trump calling in the National Guard is rather newsworthy, R18.

R15 AI is probably correct.

R24, he’s called in 2,000 Guardsmen. You need that many people because a few rocks were thrown at ICE vehicles.

I don’t think it’s that, R26. I think it’s In anticipation of what will happen after sunset.

R27, if you throw in 2,000 armed people something WILL happen.

It's interesting about the National Guard - they'll all be Californians, and probably a significant number will be Hispanic, and maybe even from that community or nearby communities. Would they shoot?

Ahem

R28

Apparently they haven't forgotten the Posse Comitatus Act because Trump only says he's activating the Guard to "protect federal functions" and not to serve as law enforcement. But of course in practice they're going to serve as law enforcement.

R31, FF for your whole entire life for that gross gif. How bizarre that you and other Trump cultists find that "cute."

They just said on the local news that the Trump administration said that it “will not tolerate criminal behavior,” so I thought oh good — does that mean Trump is going to resign and turn himself in?

Weird, Trump seems to tolerate criminal behavior from....all the criminals he pardoned

After the recent wildfire setting anything on fire in LA seems foolish

Protests LA style

Make America Great Again! 🤡

About an hour ago KCAL 9 said that Pete Hegseth announced that the marines are ready to come to the scene if they are needed. This is going to be a nightmare.

Kegseth's on the case!

Any reason they hate every economic engine in this county?

Country*

[Quote] And this was the turning point where the average American finally realized democracy was dead and autocracy had taken over…

I just saw a livestream of Palestine flag-toting maniacs starting a fire next to a Mexican meat market in Compton. Looked like the building was at risk of going up in flames.

It’s time for LA residents to rise up pure 2nd amendment style and go full militia on these motherfuckers. I’m ready for civil war. Let’s go.
