@meso @mrsaturday @lebronjames75 @piggo @sun @teratology ICE has been a thing following 9/11 but racial harassment and discrimination against latinos/southern indigenous people is a historically documented phemonenon. Chemical baths leading up to The Bath Riots were hitlers inspiration for gassing jews. There were raids recorded in the early 1930s close to where I am (Olvera Street). I had Mexican-American school teachers who had Americanized names because of forced assimilation policies. (Juan -> John)
The assumption that anyone is doing anything by the book under the trump administration is extremely naive or disingenuous when there are contracted bounty hunters involved, not that it's any better in my opinion. But let's not pretend that this is only about "illegals". I can't give any energy to anyone this far removed from the reality that myself and others experience in LA county. I don't want to hear any of it, especially if you haven't seen them beat agricultural workers up close to coerce them into signing paperwork, or denying people bringing their relatives blankets and medication. They pointed a gun at a pregnant woman and her children during a raid in Huntington Park while searching for her husband. They punched out a priest searching for someone on holy ground. They're constantly staging in our communities and harassing the locals. There was an ICE agent that tried to rape a woman in the restroom and he later murked himself.
these mfers have been breaking a restraining order put in place because they're racially profiling the citizens of los angeles. They went into my friend's workplace, and her coworkers were also harassed, intimidated, and some were asked for identification.

Some people just get dropped off at the border these bounty hunters dgaf. They've also to let people go in exchange for other names, it's sickening. Children go missing all the time and aren't trackable in the system and a whistleblower first reported that they were sterilizing women without their consent. Anyone supporting this shit is disturbed and evil.
I would respect it a lot more if they just admitted they're racists at this point because lmao https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/us/georgia-battery-plant-hyundai-lg-ice-raid.html
