I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

Funnily enough, I have a similar-ish story? A friend of mine in college introduced me to Darlington (then in League 2, now National League), and ten years ago went to England for a long work trip. I immediately found Darlington's fixtures and made it to a game near Liverpool.

Thanks for flagging this, Charlie. My team and I are not pleased about this development. We all had some strong opinions when we saw the alert from District Sports (I know they changed names, but hard to let go of the old name). Our game tomorrow night will be fun.

ICE agents in full combat gear on the streets of Los Angeles. On top of a military vehicle is an agent with a full-ass machine gun on a tripod.
Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.
This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.
