Tom did a post this morning about some of the ICE raids here in LA but I’m going to post some more just for posterity. I don’t know if they will last — they’re on X, unfortunately and I could easily see Elon ordering them all taken down. Many of them are also on Tik-Tok and Youtube (but hard for me to find them there.) For now it’s worth just making a note about what’s going on, if nothing else. This is deadly serious stuff and we are in deep trouble.
There are many of these posts all over social media. I can’t vouch for every one of those, of course. They are just snapshots. But I think the evidence is quite clear that ICE is completely drunk with power and out of control. They have been given a quota and the promise of a huge bonus if they hunt down and capture as many immigrants as they can find. Here in LA it’s mostly latinos but they have rousted asian immigrants in the garment district as well and I’m sure that anywhere there’s a Haitian or African community they’re going in there too. (Well, except for South Africa — they’re welcomed with open arms and instant citizenship.)
This is already one of the most shameful chapters in American history and it’s getting worse every day. Now we have national Guard and marines on the streets to “protect” these masked, armed thugs. What do we think is going to happen?
