WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean…

Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

I really wanted to cheer my team on, as I’ve done since year 1, but my heart aches for what’s happening & I cant imagine not being home if ICE were to show its ugly face here.

We deserve joy but that’s hard to commit to at this moment. Familia de LAFC, celebrate for those of us that can’t. πŸ–€πŸ’›

and should be doing to protect our immigrant community, doing grocery runs with my family for other Cudahy families that are avoiding leaving their home in fear, and sharing 15k red cards across SELA.

I was supposed to be flying to Atlanta tonight to be at the first Club World Cup game for LAFC but it doesn’t feel right to leave our community while it’s being ravaged by ICE + DHS.

I’ve spent the last week doing raids rapid response, connecting with local elected officials on what we can...

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

"Abolish ICE" should be added to the @democrats.org platform ASAP.

Frankly, it should have been added years ago.

We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

While ICE raids are ramping up in our neighborhood remember that the federal government could have been funding literally anything else:
- housing for all
- healthcare
- supporting small farmers with making groceries more affordable

But no, your cost of living is still the same.

One pro immigrant protester being carried unconscious to the other end of the street here in Paramount, CA, was hit by a federal agency vehicle. Getting attention from protester medics.

The LA community and leaders of the LA Rapid Response Network gather for a press conference following the series of ICE raids conducted this morning.

When our communities are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP, FIGHT BACK!

I am heartbroken and deeply angered by the ICE raids and violence we experienced in Los Angeles today and call on the immediate release of David Huerta and all protestors detained today.

ICE has no place in our communities. Keep your hands off of my neighbors.

The arrest of the SEIU CA President & protesters is a disgrace to our country β€” and part of a terrifying trend local electeds have also been facing.

We stand for First Amendment rights. We stand for democracy. We stand with David Huerta & call for his immediate release.

Working on changing how our density works in Cudahy- from accidental to purposeful through reworking our streets. There will be some major changes coming soon to our streets in our city!

For decades, New York has made it almost impossible for upstate localities to enact rent control. Costly studies prohibited communities from opting in to this critical program.

Today, local officials are demanding reform. Read our letter πŸ‘‡

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo.

Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

I cannot emphasize the amount of hate and harassment progressive elected officials, even at the local level, are receiving from the right the last few weeks.
