And I said thank you - yeesh
I wanted to see who you were using for sources. I was comfortable until I read the bottom of your post. I don't deal in that level of drama.
The Government and ICE are following the law - that is why ever lawsuit trying to stop them has ultimately failed.
The Governor of the State - the Mayor of the city openly calling for resistance, the police not cooperating with federal law enforcement all have their part of play in this violence - the violent protesters who are throwing frozen water bottles, shooting fire works - ramming vehicle, surrounding law enforcement all have their role to play in this.
It's not one sided.
But it is VERY questionable if they are following the law. They hid their faces and didn't identify themselves when first grabbing people off the street. Now they have to identify as police like all the state and local police have to. And we learned last week about the memo:
Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without
a judge’s warrant, according to an internal
Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches.
Local and state and the FBI have to have warrants, but ICE doesn't. They are ignoring the law. It directly violates the 4th amendment.
A DHS official went to Los Angeles in June to brief officers on the new policy ahead of an immigration enforcement action, two administration officials told NBC News.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers began forcibly entering homes without judicial warrants last summer, two administration officials told NBC News.
Administrative warrants are signed by officials in ICE field offices and generally permit officers and agents to make arrests — a lower legal standard than a warrant signed by a judge or magistrate, which is broadly what is needed when law enforcement enters a home......
The officials did not specify how many homes had been entered. But they told NBC News that the May memo followed a March 2025 opinion from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the General Counsel, though DHS legal opinions are not the same as settled law. Charlie Wall, recently named acting deputy director of ICE, has been tasked with implementing the policy, the officials said.
There is every reason to question the tactics of ICE and the ineptitude of Noem and others in the administration. Too much is outside the law.
