ICE raids across L.A. spark backlash; Trump officials vow to continue operations

[trixare4kids]

But your "being on the right side" only applies if Trump is only going after criminals.

"Your side" becomes the "wrong side" if Trump is going after others -

Here: A slight majority feel the administration's deportation efforts are prioritizing people they believe are dangerous criminals. Those who say this are very supportive of the program, and feel the program is making people in the U.S. safer. But if people don't think it is dangerous criminals who are the focus of the deportation effort, support drops dramatically.

The majority of Americans support deporting immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally and have committed crimes, particularly violent ones. There is a strong number of Americans who do not take kindly to those who come here without permission and break our immigration laws, Chomsky.

A Pew Research Center study from February 24 to March 2, 2025, found that 97% of U.S. adults who favor some deportations support deporting those who have committed violent crimes, and 51% support deporting at least some immigrants living in the country illegally. An Axios/Ipsos poll from January 10-12, 2025, showed 66% of Americans support deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally, with stronger support (93% among Republicans) for those with criminal records.

The president is fulfilling his campaign promises to the majority. I'm thrilled.

That is incorrect....if they return before marrying and before receiving their approval for the I 130 and their appointment abroad...they will be denied. Once they leave the country, if they do not have a waiver in place (which isn't easy to obtain) there is an automatic bar that is raised...and that bar is from 3 years to permanent.

Sadly, the difficulties in traversing the system would seem to make it easier to just enter illegally.

Unfortunately, that led to the mess we now have.

I'm upset that our government was lax in proper security & enforcement all these decades. Not just for the damage it caused Americans, but to the damage now occurring to those here illegally and those with attachments to those here illegally.

Lax enforcement was a lose-lose for everyone. And now, we're all collective paying the price.

Not to mention the people they are arresting aren’t the real criminals…the real criminals are people like Trump that employs them

Cite the statute that REQUIRES state authorities to assist the feds

It wasn't a statute question.

That said
Do you not consider this 'non-reporting' or 'non-informing' by local government entities is obstructing ICE agents in the execution of their duties?

 

[Chomsky]

You don't like that when people do that to you? Neither do I.

You did it to me when you decided to read more into my post, reposted below than was necessary.

I'm not sure what you're getting at?

You posted concerning the 6 criminals detained. I pointed-out you overlooked the other 38 arrests, which might be pertinent to understand what is factually occurring.

If its not in law requirements that they assist them in order to not be obstructing then its not obstruction

 

[Chomsky]

That's not what he implied. @eohrnberger told you Newsom is ignoring and obfuscating federal immigration law and their lawful right to carry out raids, detentions, arrests, deportations.

Newsom isn't "ignoring immigration law".

Municipalities are not bound to doing or assisting immigration work.

 

[trixare4kids]

Forgot to add. It's morally unconscionable that anyone would be setting fires in California and then have dumbo Newsom attempting to blame shift to ICE.

Why do I only have two people reading this thread liking the above post. Everybody should be agreeing that Newsom royally messed up badly over the weekend promoting a phony narrative while fires were being set all over the city. Instead of condoning those who want to bring peace, he defended violence by blame-shifting. And some pretend he is correct repeating his fake narratives that it is Trump who caused all the chaos, and set the fires, and threw the rocks.

 

[rhinefire]

How many did Trump deport during his incompetent last incumbency? Oh, but I forgot, he built a few miles of wall. That showed 'em! Did he send the bill to Mexico yet?

He forgot like he does with all his debts. Give the poor guy a break.

 

[trixare4kids]

Newsom isn't "ignoring immigration law".

He enabled a mob by publicly disparaging ICE who had a legal right to carry out their duties.

Municipalities are not bound to doing or assisting immigration work.

Who said they were? That was never a point anyone made. Calling it a strawman.

Newsom enabled a riot in LA, and encouraged the obstruction of federal ICE raids. These were never peaceful protests. He incited the mob.
He completely defended the mob who obstructed federal ICE raids but of course, you will say you didn't see that. The riots grew and he continued to blame shift saying he could handle the "protests" even after the Chief of Police said they even lost control of the situation. Newsom is a clown and so is that stupid mayor of LA.

Los Angeles, California.

Oh really? Los Angeles is part of another country now?

Which one?

Biden didn’t escalate the situation and deported millions.

Obama didn’t escalate the situation and deported millions.

Trump is a weak leader. He is a provocateur. He was during term 1.0, he continued that while he was out of office over the past 4 years, and he continues and escalates again in 2.0

He’s in capable of handling ANY sort of crisis. He couldn’t lead his way out of a paper bag. Any and everything he touches eventually turns to shit.

Businesses, personal relationship and politically. The man is a walking dumpster fire who leaves a trail of destruction in his wake his entire life - because he cares nothing about ramifications as long as his ego is fed and he is personally enriched.

He is the epitome of a privileged nepo baby with no regard for anyone or anything but himself.

Biden only followed what Obama wanted at the time. When Biden got in power, he did the opposite and allowed in as many immigrants into the U.S. as possible. Also pardoning 1/2 a million for mass immigration without adequate vetting.

Let's look at the videotape: MAGA welcomes Afrikaners while it simultaneously suspends visas for (mostly non-white) international students, imposes a travel ban on 12 non-white countries, revokes opportunities for asylum for non-white migrants, and sweeps neighborhoods looking for non-white undocumented immigrants...and you say that I'm playing a race card?

No, I'm playing the reality card. Sorry, not sorry you either can't or won't see it.

Also Trump spreading racists lies about legal immigrants that contribute to their local communities.

While also insulting foreign leaders with false and absurd accusation of mass killings.

That at the same people are being locked up and risk deportation for criticizing Israel.

Rumeysa Ozturk: Turkish Tufts University student released on bail

Her arrest followed the White House's crackdown on what it has classified as antisemitism on US campuses.

Pay attention to all the rocks thrown at LE on the pavement.

Thank You for posting this video. HEAR!HEAR! I think, it deserves being repeated.

 

[Chomsky]

No, you are repeating a false, nasty narrative, a leftist narrative meant to disparage American citizens who want immigration law enforced. These voters, American citizens, supporters of the law being enforced are not nationalists and authoritarians. That's the fake narrative that is spread by the libs. They know what they hear is a fake narrative meant to level them, to make them feel guilty, to make them shut up.

Interesting that you believe you can understand what's in someone else's head?

The majority of Americans commend President Trump for carrying out his deportations. Those who call names are just going to have to live with the fact that we finally have a president who is doing something about all this.

Again, your asserting "the country stands behind you", only applies when Trump is going after criminals, and then its by a scant 4% - which is hardly overwhelming.

When Trump arrests & deports others besides criminals, the support turns against him.

ICE, by its own admonition, is arresting and deporting a great many that are not criminals.

I believe you can figure-out what this last does for your argument.

 

[Linc]

Trump initiating riots every day now, wanting his own ‘4 dead in Ohio’ tune.

Coming to a blue state with a large city near you.
It’s past time to cut off federal taxes from blue to red states.
Close interstates, ocean ports, airports and rail from red to blue states.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Lol you know some weak ass people. Ain't nobody getting sick from push carts over here, even me who has eaten from them hundreds of times.

So push carts or the ever present ice chests full of tamales should never be subject to health inspections - and certainly illegals should never have to pay license fees like the less desirables do.

I presented the data you earlier cited. It's also the most recent (current) data.

 

[Linuxcooldude]

And you figure foreign nationals burning American cities while waving Mexican flags is the way to "preserve liberty?"

Well, let me add, waving Mexico flags while burning American flags. Doesn’t present the right optics to the American people.

When you call our president and other American citizens authoritarians and nationalists because immigration law is now being robustly enforced, which the majority of Americans support and voted for, they have already lost the argument. You lost it many posts ago.

Enjoy the rest of your day. Bye.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Lol I spend lots of time little towns where nobody even speaks English. So your defense about how bad Latinos are just cherry picking some spots in laughable. That's like me saying Americans would turn a country into shit because hundreds of people were murdered in the south side of Chicago in 2024.

The usual Stalinists lies. No one said anything about "Latinos" being bad. You dishonestly conflate Latino and illegal alien.

 

[trixare4kids]

I presented the data you earlier cited. It's also the most recent (current) data.

I countered your emotional plea with more accurate factual information and data.
I don't think there is an intelligent person reading the thread who viewed the LA riots as anything that remotely resembles peaceful justifiable protest, but you do you.
Like I said above, enjoy the rest of your day. Bye.

 

[Uncensored2008]

That idiot thinks he can be elected President too, despite his clearly unamerican views on protecting these migrants. Like most Democrat politicians and many of their voters, they supported the flood of migrants, and now support keeping them in the USA to use them to increase both electoral votes in the Blue sanctuary States and as future dedicated Democrat voters.

A real "great replacement theory" in action.

Oh, Gavin just torpedoed any hope he ever had of the White House.

Frankly, I think JD Vance is unbeatable in 2028. I don't think Newsom could have won, but he sure the hell has no chance now. He'll be crucified by this if he is dumb enough to run.

 

[Linuxcooldude]

I get what you’re talking about. In North Beach, San Francisco’s Italian section, they have all sorts of Italian flags, pasted on lamp posts. And in the formerly Irish Mission District in SF, you can still see a sign or two in Gaelic. High time these traitors are removed from the country. Next they’ll be changing our place names to Spanish. What is a “Sierra Nevada” anyway?

You mean Little Italy? You take it out of context. Burning American flags while waving Mexican flags seems more of a take over then a tourist attraction.
