You want to suppress certain types of speech?

There's no reason to draw such a conclusion based on what was said in the post. They're burning American flags to put out a message. End of statement.

How did they get over Trump's wall?

You mean the wall that never got built because pushovers abandoned the project?

 

[essentialsaltes]

I don't think there is one.

There is a quota for arrests. Oh, wing got there before me.

AI:
In early 2025, the Trump administration set a daily quota of 3,000 arrests for ICE, demanding a significant increase in arrests from the prior administration's levels. This quota was presented as a goal to increase deportations and was directed by White House officials like Stephen Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who threatened to hold ICE officials accountable if quotas were not met. The goal was to triple the number of daily arrests compared to early 2025 figures.

The proper way to dispose of an American flag which has been soiled or damaged beyond further use is to burn it. You can also burn it symbolically if you believe it has been soiled by actions taken under it. That is the message being sent. As to waving the flag of a foreign country which once owned the territory, Southerners do it all the time when they're protesting something.

There aren't many protests in the south

I don't know if it's because people have to go to work or what, but Monday's protests were far smaller than Sunday.

By 11 p.m. Monday, law enforcement had largely dispersed ongoing immigration protests in downtown L.A. and Santa Ana.

Monday’s protests were, for the most part, calmer than Sunday’s melees, which left a wake of foam bullets around the city’s center and many protesters injured from the munitions.

As midnight approached, officers used less-lethal munitions and tear gas as they clashed with a few dozen people who remained in downtown Los Angeles. Earlier in the day, a crowd several hundred strong had rallied in front of the federal building.

NBC News reports that top Trump adviser Stephen Miller recently erupted in anger over what he sees as woefully lagging deportation numbers, privately threatening to fire senior Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials over it. He demanded the detention of 3,000 migrants each day, sources told NBC.

...and since ICE does not have the man power, other resources are being re-purposed....

This includes 1,800 agents from Homeland Security Investigations, which usually probes crimes that don’t involve noncriminal migrants, NBC reports. It also includes 2,000 employees from law enforcement agencies at the Justice Department, like the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Stephen Miller Erupts in Fury Over Low Arrests—and Hands Dems a Weapon

Hitting Miller’s new deportation quotas could mean fewer resources to fight child trafficking, terrorism, and other crimes. Do Americans really want that?

Of course this means other criminals will not be investigated while these resources help detain illegal immigrants in Home Depot parking lots...

Okay, so there is a quota. Sounds like a good one to me. Round them up. Time to go.

There are no riots in Los Angeles. Trump is lying. The people are peaceful.

Maybe ICE should stop setting cars on fire and stirring up trouble.

Nope, we do love pointing out that its the left being violent i. This country though. The left who is anti-LE and the left who has gone insane.

We do like pointing that out.

I came up with insurrection from listening to some of the protest spokespeople. They declared that they were rebelling aginst government authority. Which is obviously what they're doing.

Yes, they are TELLING us its an insurrection against the government.

 

[rjs330]

How did they get over Trump's wall?

They went around it, because Biden refused to finish it and wanted to sell off the parts. A partial wall is just decoration.

Less than 48 hours after Juan Fernando was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at his job at a clothing factory, he was transported back to the country he had left behind.

The 23-year-old member of Mexico’s Indigenous Zapotec community told his parents that he had been dropped off at an international bridge and told to cross back to Mexico, the family recounted in an interview with The Washington Post. He told them he thought he had signed a consent to a coronavirus test but may have inadvertently signed off on his deportation instead.

Anything to get those numbers up.

Aww.... breaks my heart. (Sure he did). Is he here illegally? Yup. Buh by!

That's not the issue. The obvious strong message being sent is the issue. Downplaying it does them a disservice.

The more the whole thing is downplayed the more it's being said that their efforts are useless and meaningless.

"Sending a strong message" is generally the goal of any protest. Seems like it's working if you can recognize that.

Families allegedly detained by ICE during annual status check-ins

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said families who were attending their required annual status check-ins with immigration were being detained, despite having the proper paperwork.

"Can you imagine having your annual appointment to ICE. You're here, you might not be a citizen, but you have papers and you're told that you need to go to the facility to check in, and then you are detained? And you go with your family and your kids and the whole family is detained?"

Rep. Laura Friedman said her office has received reports of people being detained by ICE during their court appointments.

"when we see people who are working as gardeners, people who are working in the back of restaurants, being picked up, that's not what the president said he was going to use precious ICE resources on,"

As many are being held at the Roybal Federal building in downtown LA, eyewitness accounts and attorney reports detail overcrowded conditions, with individuals held in the building's basement, conference rooms, and even outdoor tents due to lack of space.

Detainees have reportedly been deprived of food and water for 12 to 24 hours or more, with some families, including young children, forced to endure these conditions overnight. Additionally, lights in the building reportedly shut off at 5 p.m., leaving families in complete darkness.

One attorney reported a client was being held without food or water from 2 p.m. until the next day, while his wife and two children waited over 12 hours. There are also reports of a 20-year-old woman being held alone, separated from her mother, despite having legally checked in with ICE for years and being days from a court date for an asylum process.

ICE is causing the violence here.

I wonder if someone sneaks through a hole in a fence from Mexico into the US, takes five steps and is spotted by a border patrol agent...

Is it okay for the agent to tell them to turn around and go back?

Or should it be that since they've taken five steps into the US, they should be put in a holding facility until they are put though a year's worth of due process, and then sent back?

ICE is causing the violence here.

By simply doing their job.

No, actually it was a mistake to allow so many illegals in this country in the first place

You've got that right, and nobody will argue with you about it.

and the left should have predicted *OUR* response!

Nobody could have predicted your response.

So it's not Trump's fault for doing what's right. It's the let's fault for being pushovers and letting this problem take hold. Now we have a situation. And the right *will not* back down.

It's actually the fault of Congress whose duty it is to create policy and write the immigration law. Trump has taken the matter into his own hands and is doing it his own way.

...Anyone who tries to stop ICE will be captured and jailed. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Not true. It depends on how ugly things get.
