Why is the media not covering ICE resistance in LA?

Undercover police work started in France hundreds of years ago. Federal agents don’t have to wear identifying uniforms. They don’t need to identify themselves to people they aren’t capturing. They are not barred from wearing masks by any rule or law.
J6! J6! J6! Haven’t we identified all the J6ers by now. Feel free to interfere with the lawful actions of federal agents carrying out immigration enforcement. You’ll be sorry but you have the right to a criminal record if you so choose. |

For the zillionth time, no one is upset about detaining or deporting criminals. In no way is the US government focusing on making our country safer.
A great deal of what ICE is doing is not just "doing their job." And part of the reason for this is that the DHS/ICE higher ups are fanatics and, in many cases, not very intelligent nor familiar with the the Constitution. I absolutely 100% support all peaceful protests even if I disagree with you. If you break the law, of course you should be arrested, that goes without saying. The PP who seemed to celebrate the person getting run over and certainly present it as a threat: you must have a dark soul. The people of LA are protesting the randomness, the cruelty, the military-style tactics. |

There is no reason for ICE to be under cover. And they are not producing warrants or badges when asked. And, they are illegally detaining natural born Americans. Not really in compliance with the law, there. |

What solidarity, OP?
The majority of Americans want the deportation of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States. No, they shouldn’t be detaining or deporting USCs, but there are bound to be a few errors like that. Those individuals should be released (or transferred to other authorities if they have committed crimes). The possibility of those errors happening is not reason enough to stop the deportations. If we are always afraid of making mistakes, then nothing will ever get done. |

Funny how people like Musk and Melania, who both worked here illegally at one point, are not seen as having broken immigration laws, but working-class brown people are. |

| If people are kidnapping federal employees, this should be national news. That is absolutely disgusting. |

Red stater here and I agree. I think that we should let NYC and LA deal with the situation they created and then clean house in places like Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans, Nashville, etc. |

The conservative in me thinks addressing this issue (deporting them) would lead to higher wages and better benefits in the ag sector, which attracts more domestic workers to work in ag. It also would increase investment in mechanization and automation. There will be a time of higher costs increased food prices but when things settle, they should stabilize. However, on a broader level, I find this entire situation absurd. The United States has become far too reliant on migrant labor, having half of the agricultural workforce undocumented. We need to ask ourselves why this is the case. It ain’t because this is "work Americans won't do". It's entirely because, for over 40 years, corporations have been allowed to exploit cheap imported labor, keeping wages for these jobs disgustingly low sometimes even below the federal minimum wage. There are plenty of Americans who would be willing to do this work, but not for $12 an hour under the sweltering sun of Texas. Offer $30 an hour plus benefits to harvest lettuce, and you would see plenty of people lining up for those jobs. The problem lies in the fact that neither Democrats nor Republicans have taken meaningful action for decades. BOTH sides have allowed "big ag" to exploit these workers, paying pennies per box harvested perpetuating this cycle of exploitation, and doing so in such a way that if it were to ever dare end, suddenly panic, omg, our foods gonna rot and we're all gonna die of starvation because we cant afford food! They have caught you in this line of thinking, so they will always get their cheap, exploitive labor. In my opinion, the widespread abuse of migrant labor over the past four decades is a shameful stain on this country. But, just like iPhones and Nike shoes, most people turn a blind eye to the unethical labor practices behind the products they want, so long as the price is low. Just look at OPs post: concerns about "rotting crops" and "skyrocketing prices", and not a single care about the exploitation of these workers. This has been ignored for decades and now that there's a policy threatens to send them home, we just get all up in arms because we might have to pay more. It’s almost like saying that an economy can’t survive without illegal & low or no cost labor to farm the land. You know who else used that argument???? The Confederacy during the Civil War. Let that sink in. |

Would you stop already with your “this is what we voted for”?! Do all of you MAGA speak in parroted phrases? JFC, at least come up with some new material. And speak for your own damn self—you don't represent everyone that voted for Trump. |

Problem is that the migrants don’t stay in the blue states. |

While it will be a waste of tax dollars it will be fun watching the radical left watch their poster child “the Maryland father” be prosecuted for his many crimes. |

Send icy into the red states where they belong. |

Don’t worry. We may soon have police check points at red state borders to stop and search cars and look for migrants. |
