And?…..
Here we Go Folks!….
The White House did not return a request for comment about Homan’s remarks and the use of Guard troops. The comments came amid a weekend of raids conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in L.A. that have detained dozens of people. Video from local news media on Saturday showed helmeted law enforcement officers dressed in tactical gear using tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowds in Paramount, part of Los Angeles County, that had gathered to protest ICE raids in the city.
In a statement Saturday, ICE acting director Todd Lyons accused L.A. Mayor Karen Bass (D), who had said she was “angered” by the raids, of siding with rioters. “Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over law enforcement,” he said….
…
Bass had said after the Friday raids that her team is in close coordination with immigrant rights groups. “These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city,” she said. “We will not stand for this.”…
…
Los Angeles in November became a “sanctuary city,” a classification of jurisdictions that are among Trump’s top targets as his administration tries to increase immigration arrests. As of 2024, Los Angeles was home to more than 1.35 million immigrants, making up 34 percent of the city’s population….
…
The LAPD issued several unlawful-assembly declarations in the city Friday evening and disseminated a citywide tactical alert instructing all officers to remain on duty amid protests. But Police Chief Jim McDonnell, citing policy dating to 1979 that bars his officers from initiating police action solely to determine a person’s immigration status, said the LAPD “will not assist or participate in any sort of mass deportations.”…
…
Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, posted throughout Saturday about the raids in L.A., at one point sharing the video of demonstrators outside the detention facility in the city and calling it an “insurrection.”
Miller later wrote, “If we don’t fix this, we don’t have a country. Pass the BBB,” a reference to the One Big Beautiful Bill, a massive tax and immigration package that includes more border security funding…..
Note…
To Federalize the National Guard from Governor Newsom is defiantly a power move by the Trump Admin….
Trump HAS been fighting with California for some time….
This seems to be an escalation….
Update…
“Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE’s immigration enforcement operations,” DHS wrote on X.
“Thankfully, unlike in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the riots. So far, NYPD [New York Police Department] has made five arrests,” the post read, adding that those who touch law enforcement officers will be prosecuted…..
If you think this “ helps” the Democrats?
You are once again…
Wrong as usual.
I believe that this will NOT play well in general but ANYONE…..
In typical Trump?
It will be another Chaotic situation
And Trump rarely comes out a clear winner
California IS a Blue State
Troops Dimon their streets ain’t gonna get Trump points there
We’ll see what Newsom and Harris do
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Will this spread?
You DO REMEMBER Kent State and the 60’s?
It will also hang on how the media plays this…
It ain’t Good 😌
When American Armed Troops are deployed to fight American’s NOT migrants?
The ‘Government’ IS going to be in Trouble…..
We’ll see……
Trump get LAPD to defend the Troops and do his dirty work?
James,
Kent State and this current situation I don’t believe are comparable, especially not at this early stage…People in this country are:
1. Tired of Immigrants (and that includes white, black and brown folks)
2. Tired of disruptive protests in big Democratic Cities
3. Willing to turn a semi-blind eye to immigration enforcement in all of it’s ugly blemishes
With that said, Newson does not come out looking good from this, Trump doesn’t care people already have their opinion of him…Newsom looks like a liberal dem governor letting things get out of control and that hurt him with the only voters that matter, the Independent ones that voted for Trump last election because they felt it couldn’t be worse than Biden (no matter how crazy that sounds when you look at it logically, but logical isn’t reality).
I agree with this analysis.
My mention of Kent State was ‘Remember’….
The Troops , I assume are NOT armed….
If it was up to Miller?
IF?
IF this spreads ?
I HAS to NYC….
It WILL be different….
Yes…
So far the undoucuments ARE looked at as ‘Aliens’ defined by Trump and Miller….
Guys?
Check the social media…
Miller and the ‘sweeps’ ARE NOT so popular…
Yes Trump HAS slowed the border crossing’s…
But he has a good way to go to catch up to Obama’s numbers…
On Newson?
Bingo….
Trump HAS put him in a box….
Sending the Troops…The Governors Troop’s in IS SO Back in the Day FLOYDish, eh?
That said?
The protest ARE NOT simply Immigration….
They ARE the first of many pushbacks against Trump 2.0
There WILL BE MORE….
And?
IT IS WORSE THAN Biden even if the media is afraid to pin the shit on Trump in fear or reprisals…
Trump,so far,is getting good numbers on this.
No surprise to anyone who has been paying attention .
Immigration policy is his strongest suit right now.The longer this goes on the better it will be for his overall ratings
The problem IS?
Marine’s
Professional Protesters
And a uncontrolled Trump Admin ARE Sure to let things spin out of control
Things ARE GOING to come down to ONE BAD INCIDENT…..
Bet on it….
I disagree on Trump coming out unscathed…..
What are “Marine Professional Protesters”?
I am worried about the violent anarchists or nihilists (who I don’t think are paid) who come to others’ peaceful protests (e.g. in Oakland over George Floyd) with black helmets, masks, gas-masks and truncheons, but whose name I forget.
Excuse me; on the sidebar Marines Professional Potesters appears on a single line, unlike the actual post.
Antifa was the name I’d forgotten.
You can tell I’m sleepy and hasty.
When I say professional……
I do NOT mean paid…..
Sorry…
There seems to be a Good Sized group of people that come out when there IS a left leaning ‘Protest’….
They seem to be mostly white and younger…
They also seem to have the ablity to show up and not be working?
Marines SHOULD have had …..
To seperate them from the Protestors…
My Mistake….
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT Gavin Newsom is gonna be the 2028 Democratic Presidential nominee…
Donald IS gonna Fuck California ANY Time and Way he can…..
And?
In doing so?
He will KEEP California BLUE….
Newsom Sues Over Trump National Guard Deployment
Gov. Gavin Newsom said that California planned to sue over President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Backing Up from getting ahead of himself…
Border czar Tom Homan said Monday that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) have not crossed the line amid tensions between law enforcement and immigration raid protesters, but they, like everyone else, are “not above the law.”
In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Homan sought to clarify earlier remarks that he said were taken “out of context” by news outlets reporting that he declined to rule out arresting Newsom and Bass amid a clash between the federal and state leaders over the best approach to quelling protests in Los Angeles…

‘La migra!’: Day laborers recount ICE raid outside Los Angeles Home Depot
La migra!” Angel and another day laborer yelled. More than 100 men and women standing in the parking lot began to run. Six migrants who said they were present recounted how federal immigration authorities began handcuffing anyone they could grab in one of several raids in the city that would spark a wave of unrest and leave immigrant workers of all stripes jolted.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation was one of several Friday in Los Angeles that drew widespread criticism from elected leaders and community activists in a city that is home to one of the largest undocumented immigrant communities in the country. As word spread, protesters hit the streets to confront the officers and denounce their actions as a broad attack against immigrant families….
