Multiple immigration sweeps reported across Los Angeles, with a tense standoff/protest downtown; SEIU union leader arrested

[ozso]

All I saw was Mexican flags being waved in territory Mexico used to own. Los Angeles itself was incorporated in 1781.

Watch more and you'll see the American flag being buried.

But waving the flag of the former government for political protest purposes is a very American thing to do. I live in NC and people around here do that all the time.

What flag of another country are they waving?

That is the correct procedure for disposing of the ashes of an American flag which has been burned.

The Confederate States of America.

They were spitting on it before they tossed it into a burning heap of garbage they set on fire in the middle of the street.

The Confederate States of America.

That's not the flag of another country. You're comparing apples to oranges again.

Free speech is a great thing. It can sometimes be pretty ugly, as your fearless leader frequently demonstrates.

It was. The only difference is that Mexico had the sovereignty of Cailfornia even before there was a United States. The Confederacy came after.

I should say Americans and illegal aliens rioting together. Waving the flag of another country, while setting the American flag on fire. That's about as anti-America as it gets.

Illegally deploying federalized Guard Infantry troops to perform police actions is about as anti-American as it gets. It's only a matter of time before a citizen is killed.

And a certain party of Americans are determined to have the opposite of that. Another summer of them rioting.

Funny how Trump always brings about rioting.

Like the citizen who was killed by law enforcement Jan 6th?

...all according to plan. Invoking the Insurrection Act will be the next shoe to drop....all in time for the king's parade this Saturday.

"....the president wrote on social media that Los Angeles was being “invaded and occupied” by “violent, insurrectionist mobs,” and directed three of his top cabinet officials to take any actions necessary to “liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion.”

“Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers. Nobody’s going to spit on our military,” Mr. Trump told reporters as he headed to Camp David on Sunday, although it was unclear whether any such incidents had occurred. “That happens, they get hit very hard.”

The president declined to say whether he planned to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act, which allows for the use of federal troops on domestic soil to quell a rebellion. But either way, he added, “we’re going to have troops everywhere.”

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, posted on social media that “this is a fight to save civilization.”

"save civilization?"

I think many in MAGA actually WANT those who don't agree with Trump to be killed. I get a very strong sense they desperately want to see corpses of those they call "woke" or "liberals" in the streets. I think to many of them that would bring joy and happiness.

Don't agree with Trump? Name a president who didn't deport illegal aliens in the last 35 years. Name a Democrat president who didn't deliver a strong speech in favor of deportation and aginst illegal aliens in the last 35 years. And likewise many would love to see "MAGAs" killed.

I can promise you those weren’t illegals out in the streets rioting.

Law enforcement are allowed to kill us.

You really don't see the difference between what's happening now and past administrations? Under Trump, people have been deported and had their visas revoked without due process, and many have been sent to foreign prisons to be detained. The Trump administration has ignored court orders. Trump removed protections like Temporary Protected Status for many immigrants and the prohibition of ICE activities in and near schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Trump and others in his administration use intimidating rhetoric and threats that intentionally create fear and chaos in the migrant community. These are the reasons people are taking to the streets.

A shoutout to CHP, who executed a clear and successful strategy to get hundreds of people off the freeway without instigating panic or violence.

And a raspberry for the small remnant of bad actors responsible for vandalism, arson, and attacks on police. Fortunately, they are mostly just as stupid as the looters who took advantage of the nearby Floyd protests, and there's lots of footage of them. That looting and the celebrated smash and grab robberies have upped LAPD's game on making use of social media and video to track people down. We are good at it now, and we'll find a lot of those people and bring them to justice.

Apparently the GOP thinks shooting that reporter in the back is certainly a big step in that direction.

The citizen who was trying to assassinate the Vice President? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Meanwhile, Trump's troops are shooting reporters in the back. Does that make you proud?

Foreign criminals here illegally are being deported to foreign prisons. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Homeland Security etc are being given more authority than a judge trying to obstruct in this matter. HSI and ICE goes where the foreign criminals are been harbored.

Yes, that's exactly who will end up getting shot in this situation.

She was shot in the leg with a piece of rubber and then laughed and said she was okay.

The CHP is one of the toughest and most professional police organizations in the country. I'm sure that the President is disappointed in them for the lack of panic and violence.

It's not normal policy for the United States to send illegal immigrants and people convicted of crimes regardless of their immigration status to foreign prisons.

The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Homeland Security etc are being given more authority than a judge trying to obstruct in this matter.

The Constitution ensures no branch of the government has authority over the other. Giving the Director of Homeland Security, Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary of State more authority than judges is not how it works in this country and is un-American.
