QuoteProtesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Responding to escalating clashes between civilian activists and militarized immigration authorities, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump administration any pretext for what they're already doing and will keep doing no matter what. "Angelenos—don't engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the damage they have been inflicting carte blanche for months on end," said Bass, adding that Trump and his team are just looking for a reason to respond with violence, as they would have done whether or not any of this happened. "Don't fan the flame that has been fanned behind the scenes at the White House since day one of Trump's term in office. You wouldn't want them to start abducting people in broad daylight and deporting them, would you? No, so let's not become scapegoats for the horrific violations of civil liberties that would have eventually landed at our doorstep regardless." At press time, Bass warned that Trump was using the actions of protesters to justify sending in the National Guard that had been pre-deployed to the conflict days before it even began.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

Coincidentally this just popped up on my feed.

Head of a union arrested for a felony variation of impeding/obstructing.

Please note that the union has called for the release of the union head and an end to ICE raids in Southern California.  Not due process, not raids without flack jackets, not raids somewhere other on the street or in homes.

The word 'raid' to my mind is associated with all these details.
Its a pretty aggressive word.

These days someone would simply try to light them on fire.  Uh, the Jews, not the signs.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Okay, I haven't been following this, so what is going on?  What is ICE doing that is bad?  Is ICE acting illegally here?  This isn't another "Defund the police" type thing were people are demanding that we get rid of immigration enforcement, is it?

From what I understand a group of 40 people showed up for a routine immigration deal and then ICE detained them and their friends and family got mad and protested. And things escalated from there. So it was spontaneous and not organized and so the "defund the police" type people were not the initial instigators.

I guess it is up to you what you consider bad or illegal.

If it changes anything the police, in this case, are saying the Feds are making things worse and escalating the situation.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I don't know. I am not an immigrant. They had some kind of routine appointment at ICE and they got detained for some reason.

Supposedly. I am not there or anything.

Look I am not doing this man. Don't protest. I don't give a shit. I am not protesting at this time.

If you think just locking people up for no reason is fine, then good on you. You will love the current version of the United States.

Yeah, besides satisfying masturbatory fantasies, the escalation in LA is a massive distraction from, among other things, trying to pass a huge debt increase bill.
