NEW: Per federal sources, despite local claims, there was no ICE “raid” at a Home Depot in LA today. DHS has a nearby office in Paramount that they are using as a staging area. Protesters found it and began gathering. ICE will conduct targeted enforcement around LA today, serving criminal judicial warrants and enforcing final orders of removal/deportation orders.
CBP and Border Patrol have been brought in to provide security and extra bodies, and a handful of agitators have already been arrested today for allegedly interfering with federal agents.
Despite inflammatory statements from local politicians making it sound like ICE is sweeping neighborhoods in SoCal & kicking doors down, they are targeting those who already have a deportation orders or who have criminality that has been signed off on by a federal judge. If others are found with the targets and they are also illegal aliens, they will be arrested too. This is enforcement of bipartisan immigration laws that have been on the books for decades.

Arrest everyone who interferes! This will continue until people are arrested and held accountable.

When the mayor and governor are defending the resistance, it's going to get really bad really quick

LA Mayor Karen Bass has already stated that the wants of illegal aliens take precedent over the needs and safety of American citizens. She has said she will not cooperate with ICE to arrest illegal aliens in her city.

Deport them all. California will lose half their representatives after the illegals are removed.

And then, how the actual voters feel will become VERY apparent when the state blows up red.

Democrats will always protect illegal aliens because they need them to maintain power.
Some posters want the military on scenes like this.

Engage the National Guard.

Everyone go home… you know you aren’t going to stop them. Put your virtue signals back in your pockets… and go home before someone gets hurt.

We hope the National Guard will never be needed, but with Democrats siding with illegal alien invaders and actively working to usurp federal immigration laws, it might become the last resort to make America for Americans again. Let’s pray it never gets to that.
