Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Geez man! You are there. She is there. Swear her in. How many excuses does he have to make up?

Really American

In his latest impersonation of a petty mobster, Trump threatens to take away the World Cup games from Boston, and even the Olympics from Los Angeles, to whomever doesn't bend the knee to him.

Shameful vindictiveness.

President Obama can pronounce my name however he wants 😂

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for your kind words.

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

How about starting by remigrating Li'l Marco back to Cuba with his family

OMG how did our country become this so fast? That's rhetorical.

Proof that they are best Bros?

Fight fire with fire 🔥

Disgusting

"REPUBLICANS WILL DROP $450M ON A TENT IN AN ALLIGATOR SWAMP, SIB ON A QATAR JET REFIT, $20OM ON A BALLROOM, AND $5M ON GOLF... THEN CLAIM THERE'S NO MONEY FOR KIDS' CANCER RESEARCH, VETERANS, SCHOOL LUNCHES, OR ELDER MEDICAID." GW NELSON

Stop their paychecks

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

Pretending to the world that you are the president of peace while waging war at home is diabolical.

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

He could have paid them with the money he gave to Argentina or found it many other places. This was just an excuse. He is so hateful!

Disappointing. No thank you.

🥳🌹💫 Happy birthday to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — a voice of courage, conviction, and compassion. Her vision, integrity, and relentless fight for justice inspire a new generation to believe in progress, equity, and the power of people over politics.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
