177 arrests? That's all ICE has made, for all this, in L. A.?

Everything we know about the LA protests


ICE later told CBS that 44 unauthorised immigrants were arrested in a single operation at a job site on Friday. Another 77 were also arrested in the greater LA area on the same day

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said it made 29 arrests on Saturday. A further 27 people were arrested on Sunday

1. The "all this" is the point, of course.

[uponit7771]

2. MAGA performative bullshit

[questionseverything]

3. Besides the personal turmoil and grief, imagine the price of this spectacle?

[Klarkashton]

4. "job site" sure the fuck doesn't sound like an MS13

Safehouse.

[Beaverhausen]

14. right? removing workers from the fashion district and restaurants is what they are doing

fuck these fucking assholes.

5. How many will actually be given their due process?

6. You would almost think the actual immigrant roundups weren't the real motive.

7. wow...I read they scooped up a thousand people

taking restaurants, carwashes, home depots you name it. And there was another story about a Home Depot meeting that took place pre-gestapo? Anyway...the funny thing is VICE had an abduction near me. There were maybe 3 humvees and the gestapo's to pick up one middle-aged woman. They did it with such fanfare, the entire neighborhood came out to see what was going on, and it started all kinds of chaos, with ICE pushing and shoving, slamming the womans young daughter to the ground, not answering any questions, neighbors trying to protect her, protect each other. One agent, in one car could have done the job, but instead all hell broke loose and many. many people are pissed off. Made for tv. And Dr. Phil being imbedded with ICE?

8. Only one of the matches he's throwing needs to land in the right spot.

His creation of a self-fulfilling prophecy of a violent protest is palpable, and I think he'll do whatever it takes to see the violence begin, regardless of the protest's collective behavior. It's a reason (one of many) why I think the Optics Argument is (at its best) wholly irrelevant and borderline naive.

12. You are correct.

[bluestarone]

9. My question is,

Will these assholes try to ship them to different states? (wouldn't surprise me!)

[Ms. Toad]

10. They are counting on one of two things -

Either that we'll ignore the raids because it's only 133 arrests -OR - that we will have what you seem to suggest is an overreaction so they can use the military to shut it down.

We must speak up. Otherwise when they come for us there will be no one left to speak up.

11. The only ones who should be arrested are the anarchists & plants who burned cars n tossed rocks

On the Law enforcement side the cops who used horses to trampled protestors, shoot teargas directly at the faces/legs of protestors & reporters.

[Silent Type]

13. Then who escalated things, LA Police, misguided protesters, agitators? trump didn't help, but neither

did California officials who should have had a plan.

15. There were two states that found the influx of our brown brothers and sisters so intolerable that they started ..........

…….shipping them north. Florida and Texas would have been the logical place to start. Both governors would have played ball.

But, of course, immigration is really a red herring. It’s all about cruelty and owning the libs.

16. That's a great point.

It was clearly to provoke
