Federal authorities descended on a park where children were playing in California on Monday to conduct enforcement operations.
Dozens of federal agents in tactical gear, heavily armed and dressed in military-style uniforms, staged what seemed to be an immigration enforcement action, drawing swift condemnation from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who rushed to the scene in response.
Border Patrol El Centro sector chief Gregory Bovino told Fox News: “I don’t work for Karen Bass. Better get used to us now, 'cause this is going to be normal very soon. We will go anywhere, anytime we want.”
Yup, need everyone real comfortable with the armed masked men in the streets.
Remember when you could walk about, and travel around in the United States without having to show your papers?
This is worse because showing your papers won’t help you.
Fair
In fairness, showing your papers wouldn’t have helped in any other regime either. If you were a target, or you “caught them on a bad day”, then you’re cooked.
They want to make suicide bombers out of citizens like they do when they fuck with other countries.
Memes, editorials and opinions are slowly going to become a waste of time as this gets more real.
The coup is happening. People are still pretending it’s just politics.
Bovino sounds like an ethnic name. He better be careful. It’s not safe for people out there with his background.
“We will go anywhere, anytime we want.”
Unreasonable search and seizure says what?
That would be a problem in counties that have those laws. The USA will not be among those soon, at least not for all people
I mean, we have them. They may not be enforced, but we have them.
Bass is technically doing more than just condemning, listening to her on the radio earlier. Looks like yet another lawsuit, which isn’t that powerful but honestly I’m not sure what more one could reasonably do. Mayors can’t exactly tell people to throw molotovs or something (she does sound pissed though).
She did say it’s pointless, racist, etc., but that she thinks it could even be some kind of revenge thing from Miller against the city he was raised in. Like, yeah, can totally believe it from these assholes in charge.
Time for emergency road construction staging. Thirty dump trucks surrounding the park should do the trick. 10 more on standby to further box in any tow trucks the cops call in.
If the feds aren’t going to coordinate with the local government, they should expect these sorts of interruptions and scheduling conflicts.
There can be a lot of them.
Sewer construction can stink up a whole block real quick.
Reminds me of shit GoP folks do out of spite, like Chris Christie closing a bridge to spite a Democrat mayor. While it might feel good to get a bit of vengeance that way, it’s really more how the other side plays things.
Well they aren’t playing fair, and won’t be. So, it seems there needs to be some sort of inconvenience for them.
It’s not about vengeance. It’s about protecting.
Citizen police?
