People, you need to get the military on your side. You should remind them that you, the citizens, are paying them to protect the Constitution, your rights and freedoms. Not the king. Because at the rate the GOP is destroying the USA and the independence

Trump's been able to take maybe 500 or 600 ICE/BP thugs and make it look like he's taken over cities of millions. It's all smoke & mirror reality TV. States are the last line of defense for tyranny; only governors and local leaders have law enforcement to counter the feds

This is NOT good governance. This is an out of control executive, backed by the most cowardly political party in history, ignoring the constitutional rights of Americans, to pursue its desire to hold power without limit.

It is probably like what they did during COVID. As long as there is a state of emergency in effect, the governor can give max SNAP payments and such. I know immigrants don't get SNAP, but hopefully they are eligible for other aid.

Yes we can …? I’m rather surprised it hasn’t happened yet…? After all this is America where folks tend to believe they can just shoot all their problems away…⚠️?❔❓🙏🏼

Release the Epstein list. Release the Epstein list. Release the Epstein list, you hubristic thugs. The public can be extraordinarily powerful when it pushes back. Frog attire welcomed.

Sorry, but I don't think the problem is with immigration, but with the troublemakers. They may be California citizens. But they don't have a job. Why? Order needs to be created somewhere. The mayor is a tragedy for Los Angeles. They really need to fix who belongs where.

While they are at it find out where ICE has been taking the people they steal and how are they being treated. Do we want to find out they have been being abused and/or starved and no one cared? Are these the American Hamas? Our tax dollars hard at work.

This regime rules without consent of the people. We obey a constitution — not a king. We need to make it difficult for this regime to hold on to the levers of power. We need to make governing uncomfortable, costly and inconvenient for this regime. We need to persuade them to leave. Now. #resist

+Lessons UNlearned. Some say 47 didn't learn a thing by being held to account. He learned nothing from being found a 34x felon. He just got worse. This is based on his hate & vengeance towards anyone who was any part of holding him accountable for his actions.. in the courtroom or politically.

Frogs, Not Guns, LA!! You know violence is exactly what Trump wants so he can declare martial law. Don't fall for it!! Blow bubbles. Dance in the streets. Wear blow-up fantasy costumes. Make it a Halloween celebration. Not a slaughter of people on the streets.

Anybody serious who, understands USA history, the makeup of its people, and not living in fantasy or gaslighting people to live in fantasy that all of this tyrannical acts & intententions will just go over with a peaceful transfer of power in 2028 know this is headed for 1776 restarting

It's called creating a problem (that's not there) by the fat orange fart and declaring a national emergency bc he wants division in his country. He loves instigating insurrection & riots

Los Angelanos restaurants, bars, coffee shops, gas stations, food trucks do not give the ICE, Law enforcement dressed in military gear and with face masks access to restrooms and to food or drink. If they are given access they will use ur business to go after individuals with brown skin

Fox News was reporting that LA is giving money & legal aid to illegals to help them stay here illegally. They went on to say that LA should be using that money to help homeless citizens, those same homeless citizens that a certain colleague of theirs said should be killed. #DefundFoxNews

States simply need to control the access to Federal facilities. Make Feds show ID and photo them when they go in and out. Check to see if they kidnapped citizens. Then they can hold these traitors responsible when they violate our rights.

los angeles declares state of emergency because the federal government is actually enforcing federal immigration law. oh if only leftists were as laissez Faire about federal TAX law as they are about federal immigration law.

The scourge of the racist and violent far right could prove more destructive than many natural disasters. It's perfectly logical that a state of emergency has been declared in the face of such a threat.

Liberals - the people who are not the pedophiles, not criminals, not liers, not racist, not fascist, not school and church mass shooters, not shutting government, not trying to take away your rights, not raising prices, not power hungry oligarchs, not ruining good people, not kidnapping immigrants.

Should Blue state governors just beat Trump to it, and call out their own Guard troops? California Guard is better for California than any of the traitor state troops Trump would send in.

This is tragic the US is spiraling into a debt laden nightmare of lawlessness and corruption driven by one of the most corrupt & dangerous presidents the US has ever seen and hopefully will never see again if you can dig yourself out from under the horrors of debt & corruption.

Being here illegally is illegal. Federal law supersedes state law. How is LA going to deny federal agents access to the city, then ask for federal assistance? If you don’t comply with federal law enforcement, you don’t get federal money.

It’s interesting that LA County has the money to give financial relief for people who are here illegally but people are told that there isn’t funding for programs to help people here legally or Americans. What county programs will be cut to provide the funding that they just voted for?

The only parts of the Constitution Trump follows is where it declares federal supremacy over states. So Congress needs to act to pass laws: against masks, requiring ID, requiring warrants, outlawing racial profiling, removing police immunity, limit Emergency Powers, strengthen Insurrection Act, etc.

Remember when the POTUS was such a liar West Point had to change their honor code to accommodate trump as CiC. West Point had to remove the first part of their honor code that said for 200 years “I shall not lie cheat or steal nor will I tolerate those who do.” because trump.

The electoral system isn't the most perfect, we know that. It barely has any democratic checks and balances that can control an undemocratic government, as we can see. In any case, it seems to me that the opposition is very "quiet". Too "quiet". 🤔 On this side of the Atlantic, we wouldn't be.

I totally understand financially supporting those who are impacted, but that isn't enough. Paying rent for immigrants to stay home literally doesn't solve anything. They need to leverage this in some way that allows them to remove ice from the county, or decrease their effectiveness in the least

No more masks. Badges with numbers. Name tags. It's what regular cops have to do everyday. They pull someone over & have no idea who that person is, or what state of mind they're in. That would bring accountability.

Local and state police forces can help to reduce the violence by stopping any and every masked, armed person, running wild on the streets! Make them show a valid Identification document, and if they refuse or don't have such a document, haul them in for fingerprinting and arrest warrant review!

WTF!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨 THERE ARE REPORTS THAT TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT???? LAUNCHING MISSILES INTO CALIFORNIA (SPECIFICALLY CAMP PENDLETON) AS A TRAINING EXERCISE AND SHOW OF FORCE ON SATURDAY 10/18/25 DURING THE NO KINGS PROTESTS!!!

It’s lawful to enforce federal laws. It’s inconvenient for Democrat law makers to have their populations reduced before the next census but it’s lawful to enforce federal immigration laws. LA is without 100 miles of a national border and national port of entry, so they have jurisdiction

Only if the enforcement is itself lawful. Breaking and entering without displaying a warrant is not lawful. Refusing to show identification and validate credentialed status as a federal officer is not lawful. The details are everything here. This is a thread about due process.

Illegal immigrants are avoiding due process by avoiding the process all together. Let ICE arrest them and allow them to see an immigration judge to face due process. If they aren’t in the country legally and they’ve ignored and thumbed their nose to our laws, I’m not sympathetic to their claims

I like that: “Arrest them all and sort it out later” because that’s exactly what ICE does. And sometimes they don’t even bother to sort it out at all.

Totally fair, and the character limit here doesn't do favors for permitting nuance. I do think there's a huge difference/contrast- PD lawfully arresting unlawful alleged federal agents in masks trying to kidnap people and not showing warrants, hauling their asses down to the county courthouse.

It is the job of police to uphold the laws of their municipality and their state. If they don't want to protect people from lawless persons making unsupported and unverified claims to be federal agents purportedly operating on official business, they can quit and find some other kind of work.

If the feds want to uphold immigration laws, there is a lawful way to do that. They aren't. It requires verifying identity, badge display, and providing legitimate signed judicial warrants upon request. People have a right to know who is operating and if it is legitimate. Else, presumed criminal.

Seems to me ICE are illegitimate in their actions, so why doesn't the mayor have the cops arrest any that are doing wrong. Set guidelines on their actions and jail any acting outside legitimate legal actions. Park them in jails, no phone calls, don't notify anyone - use their own techniques.

The Trump Administration has proven time and time again that they do not care for anyone but themselves. The fascists he surrounds himself with only wish to spread their bigotry and hatred towards some "other" in any way they can, including violence. How much further does this have to go?

It passed. But laws have “effective dates.” CA SB 627 takes effect 1/1/2026. They don’t all go into effect as soon as passed. Eg. Oregon passed a Campaign Finance Law, but it doesn’t go into effect until 2027. 🙄 They said to “give them time” to put it in place, but that’s clearly BS.

So the people that don’t want to pay for health care for immigrants (legal or not, depending who you talk to) have now (checks notes) forced government support for immigrant communities to stabilize them in the face of federal terrorism. What a mess!
