And it’s not the immigrants
ICE is completely out of control:
Video of a landscaper being taken down, pinned and repeatedly punched by masked federal agents in Orange County has gone viral online, and Alejandro Barranco finds it painful to watch.
The Marine veteran says his father, Narciso Barranco, was working outside of a Santa Ana IHOP on Saturday when several masked men approached him. Frightened, he began to run away, his son said. Moments later, he was on the ground, held down by the men, who struck him.
The younger Barranco said Sunday that his father was pepper sprayed and beaten, and that his shoulder was dislocated. After speaking with him Sunday at about 6 p.m., Barranco said his father had not received medical treatment, food or water after more than 24 hours in a detention facility in Los Angeles.
“I don’t think it was just, I don’t think it was fair,” Barranco said of the use of force against his father. “I don’t think they need four 200[-pound] plus guys to hold down a 5-6 or 5-7, 150-pound guy.”

Alejandro Barranco, 25, is a veteran of the U.S. Marines and his two younger brothers, Emanuel and José Luis Barranco, are active-duty members.
Look for Pete Hegseth to have them drummed out of the corp for being DEI hires.
These actions are happening all over L.A County right now. The mainstream media has moved on. Nobody’s lit a Waymo on fire lately so who cares, right? It’s just the nation’s second largest city and largest county under siege at the hands of armed thugs in masks who are operating with impunity.
I wish I thought something would be done about this but I can’t see the mechanism. If we all take to the streets, it makes a small blip and then we’re on to the next story. The Supreme Court is basically backing Trump’s inhumane policies (see below) and this whole thing has just faded into the background as we churn through one atrocity after another. But it’s an ongoing nightmare for law abiding, tax-paying workers who are doing nothing but contributing to our society. It’s a horror show.
I will never be able to forgive the people who made this happen. I’m sorry. It’s too much.
