Why is the media not covering ICE resistance in LA?

It’s a misdemeanor and a civil infraction, respectively.

How about we have masked thugs abduct your family members and send them to a prison in El Salvador the next time you run a red light?

And, it is still against our laws. Saying that doesn't make it ok.
What other laws do you think it is ok to break?

DP. Ask Elon and Melania what they think about that— they both violated their visas. He entered on a student visa and didn’t attend a university, instead working illegally for two years till he got a work visa. She entered on a tourist visa and worked, which is a violation of that visa.

Whataboutism. We are talking about those illegally present NOW.
Both Melania and Elon are citizens.

Maybe you don't understand, the Supreme Court ruled and has reaffirmed several times, that simply being in the country illegally is not in, and of itself, a crime. Look it up.

Deportation is the consequence of being here illegally.

Then why is ICE terrorizing and deporting people who are here legally and going through the process legally? Square the circle, please and make it make sense. Hanging out at courthouses and nabbing people who are on their way in to meet with their immigration officers or judges is not what you are describing.

And certainly ICE detaining natural born Americans is not even legal. Where is the accountability there?

They are citizens now but they weren’t always. The point is that the wealthy or influential can get away with breaking visa rules, but it only bothers MAGA when a poor brown person does it.

How do you feel about Trump employing undocumented workers for years to build or staff his properties? Do you not see the hypocrisy?

The people you described have entered illegally or are present illegally. Why in the hell should we reward that behavior?

ICE is not detaining Americans. If an American is part of an immigration sweep they are immediately allowed to go about their business once they identify their status. Unless of course they were impeding the arrest of illegal aliens ir harboring an illegal alien.

Just knock off the race crap. People from all over the damn world entered illegally under Joe Biden. They all need to go. I don’t care about their damn skin color.

Why are we only seeing videos of brown people being rounded up? You may not care about skin color, but I can assure you that Trump and Miller do. The optics are very important to them.

Just because you need something to happen doesn't mean that it will. ICE has been instructed to back off enforcement at agriculture, hotels, and restaurants. This is the beginning of TACO policy implementation.

You are correct. And here is text from the official memo that outlines who ICE agents shouldn’t be targeting. Note that agents have been told to back off arresting noncriminal undocumented migrants. Apparently the Maga on this thread haven’t kept up with the news. They don’t seem to realize that Trump has folded once again.

Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” he wrote in the message.

The email explained that investigations involving “human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK.” But it said — crucially — that agents were not to make arrests of “noncriminal collaterals,” a reference to people who are undocumented but who are not known to have committed any crime.”

You don’t see this as a problem? You’re going about your daily business, get detained in a sweep, and have to prove your status? What if you get randomly stopped and in order to be allowed to leave have to prove that you don’t have any outstanding warrants, have to pass an illegal drug analysis test, don’t have drugs in your car…

That’s an example of being detained.

Nope. Facts matter. If someone presents themselves seeking asylum and are "in the system" they are not illegal, they are awaiting status. You really need to learn what the actual law is before spouting off "they are all illegal" - they aren't.

And you didn't address the native born Americans, the green card holders and other visa holders who are here legally, who are also being rolled up.

But the ones being rolled by ICE happen to be brown. What is your point?

They also have been told not to raid in red states. Trump has effectively given all illegals permanent legal status!

The occupation of Los Angeles by DHS and US marines is to punish and terrorize the US citizens of California and replace every democrat elected official. This is what DHS Noem said as she ordered the arrest of the senior US senator in California. I am very surprised he is still alive.

ICE detentions of people with no criminal records are up nearly 900 percent over the same period last year.

illegal immigration is a crime.

It's a misdemeanor the same as a speeding ticket.



Also, what's your defense of the ICE agents arresting immigrants at their immigration court appointments? You know, the process of getting citizenship the RIGHT WAY. The way that all you bootlickers said immigrants should do.

They are MAGA and proud to be terrible humans.

OK. Tell us.... what other laws is it ok to break?

Laws against.....
Theft? Petty larceny? Shoplifting? Assault? Murder?

Which laws are not important enough to enforce? Give us details.

If your child was critically injured and there was no emergency service nearby, would you drive the speed limit to get them to the nearest hospital? Or would you get them there as quickly as possible and deal with the legal consequences later?

OK. You have come up with an instance where one might break traffic laws. Although, most people would say wait for an ambulance or police because the last thing you would want to do is get into a traffic accident speeding down the road.
But, that is not a good example of why an illegal alien would break our laws and enter illegally.

The GOP controlled Supreme Court has ruled and affirmed that simply being in the country illegally is not in, and of itself, a crime. So you are starting with a false premise.

And, you know what the penalty is for entering or residing in the US illegally?
Deportation. Yep. That is what they said.

How about working here illegally? Both Melania and Elon did it.

They committed visa fraud. This is well documented. ICE should be raiding their homes and shipping them off to black sites in Central America or some war zone in Africa like they are doing to harmless maids and farm workers.

And to put it in context, so far in this fiscal year, per Trump's ICE's own data, 97.5% of the people they arrested, detained, deported, disappeared to black sites have ZERO prior arrest record or criminal conviction whatsoever.

Citation for this claim. I have heard that 75% of those arrested HAVE criminal records.

Yeah... I'm right. The most recent data shows that 3 out of 4 have criminal records.
You need to stop making shit up.

WASHINGTON — During the first 100 days of President Donald J. Trump’s second term, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested 66,463 illegal aliens and removed 65,682 aliens, including criminals who threaten public safety and national security. Three in four arrests were criminal illegal aliens, putting the worst first

.

https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/100-days-record-breaking-immigration-enforcement-us-interior

I saw this too, but remember A LOT of these are for minor drug infractions years or decades ago. Or petty theft. That doesn’t mean those 75% who threaten safety or are violent, so you’re wrong on that count. Listen to the stories.

I'm liberal. I loathe Trump. I have real problems with what ICE is doing and how they are doing it, but I honestly have no problem with ICE deporting people here illegally even if their criminal offense was minor and long ago. BUT I have issues with people being snatched by men/women not in uniform or wearing masks to hide their identity. I have major issues sending people to a foreign gulag and calling it deportation.

Our immigration laws are what they are due to our lawmakers and a string of Presidents not putting in the work to modernize and make them better. But if an Administration wants to use and abide by those laws and act with transparency, then people without legal status and with any crime on their record are fair game. I just want it done the legal way and with transparency.

I'm MAGA and this summarizes my view on illegal immigration as well. There's actually pretty broad consensus on deporting criminal aliens and broad consensus on not having people with no identification as law enforcement randomly snatching old ladies from street corners. None of this stuff is particularly controversial. The only thing in question seems to be whether Trump is indeed randomly deporting soccer moms through a posse of plain clothed feds.

PP here - and no. It's a fact that plainclothes officers have snatched people here legally that were not charged, much less convicted, of any crime and have initiated deportation proceedings against them:
