Recently published use of force reports outlines their gratuitous and forceful response during June's anti-ICE demonstrations across Los Angeles.
In total, from June 7 to June 9, California Highway Patrol fired 392 rounds of 40 mm rubber bullets at demonstrators during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. Additionally, the department fired 211 beanbag rounds from modified 12-gauge shotguns and gassed people with 29 canisters of CS gas. It's a modest amount compared to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department tally. They fired nine thousand projectiles and chemical agents at four separate protests over the course of two weeks. Deputies went through 3,000 rounds of pepperballs and had a field day throwing concussive grenades and tear gas at people. On June 8th alone, deputies used 150 aerial flash bangs alongside 34 tear gas grenades.

Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.
He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported, says he was beaten, kicked and subjected to psychological torture in El Salvador jail.
03.07.2025 01:37 — 👍 576 🔁 223 💬 20 📌 27PRELIMINARY STATEMENT From the moment Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia challenged his illegal rendition to El Salvador in March 2025, the government has repeatedly maligned him in public statements. Instead of complying with the Supreme Court’s order that it “facilitate” Mr. Abrego’s return to the United States, the government launched a public disparagement campaign against him to justify his unlawful detention in El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (“CECOT”), one of the most violent, inhumane prisons in the world. As Mr. Abrego’s plight captured national attention, officials occupying the highest positions of the United States government baselessly labeled him a “gangbanger,” “monster,” “illegal predator,” “illegal alien terrorist,” “wife beater,” “barbarian,” and “human trafficker.” The Vice President, a Yale Law School graduate, went so far as to flatly lie about Mr. Abrego, calling him a “convicted MS-13 gang member,” notwithstanding that Mr. Abrego in fact has never been convicted of any crime at all.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia asks the Tennessee criminal court to order the govt to stop making extrajudicial statements about Abrego that could prejudice the trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This recent raid at the Walmart in Pico Rivera shows they're acting more nervous than usual about crowds, coming in fast with at least 5 trucks and trying to leave quickly.
The "non-violence" discourse today has gotten to the point where it includes many of the tactics used regularly by Civil Rights protesters in the Deep South, the very movement people claim to take inspiration from.

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History. In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!
Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:
