Tense confrontations between police and demonstrators in L.A. continued for a second day on Saturday, in response to operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents
Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said he plans to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to combat protests against ICE that began this weekend following immigration raids in the city.
“We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,” Homan told Fox News.
His comments come after Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller railed against the protests, calling them an “insurrection” against the United States.
Huh? You absolutely do. And remember that this started because ICE was rounding up people off the street, so “not getting baited into escalation” would require allowing that to happen, which goes against the kind of solidarity necessary to depose Trump’s regime.
Our largest protest was 5M people nationwide. That’s smaller than the percent of communists that Hitler incarcerated in his first wave of detentions.
We are smarter than Trump. Let’s fucking act like it.
