The Department of Homeland Security conducted raids on multiple locations across Los Angeles on Friday, clashing with the crowds of people who gathered to protest.

Masked agents were recorded pulling several people out of two LA-area Home Depot stores and the clothing manufacturer Ambient Apparel’s headquarters in LA’s Fashion District. Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.

    Newsome doesn’t have the balls, but their Gov election is next year…

    They need to bring state charges against ICE agents on these incidents, or trump will keep ordering them to get rougher.

    Cali can’t afford a neoliberal as governor for this shit.

      You may be underestimating Newsom’s hatred for Trump. Newsom and McDonnell, the Chief of Police, have clearly stated that they will not be assisting ICE.

      McDonnell

      He’s also threatening to withhold federal taxes if Trump does not pay out for the wildfire aid. California has a $4.1T GDP, which is almost double Texas, the second place state. They have an annual federal surplus of $80B+, which almost cancels out Virginia’s sizable annual deficit on our nation.

      the use of grenades is legal for ice, but not for the military and intentionally so, so that they can’t be prescuted for using them against american civilians.

        I have no idea why you latched into grenades specifically, but that is not their only means of violence and they’re grabbing random people and not using due process.

          the grenades are the clearest sign that they’re meant for this style of oppression since they’ve explicitly permitted to be used by the police, but not soldiers.
