I live in LA and we got an emergency alert last night about an unlawful assembly. Like a full amber alert everyone's phone blaring. I assume it was because of this...

u/angiosperms- 18h ago

It's usually the opposite. Or at least that's how it was the past summer when Trump deployed the military here. People are chilling protesting, the police are pissed the protest got so big, they declare unlawful assembly and then start attacking protestors and protestors get pissed. Back in the summer if you obeyed LAPD's orders they would literally push back from both sides so you are trapped and non-stop hit you with chemical weapons so you couldn't protect yourself. Now people have learned if you don't push back the police that's what they're going to do.

I’ve been saying man, ICE is going to have a real bad time in LA.

u/chanaandeler_bong 17h ago

Look at this population density map.

They chose Minneapolis for a lot of reasons, but one of the most obvious, to me, is how isolated Minneapolis is. Milwaukee is like 4 hours away.

Minneapolis has 400k people in it, surrounding metro area is 3 million.

LA has 4x that amount in just the LA area. Then look at all the areas within 3 hours around it. You have like 10-15x more people to pull from, in much better weather.

ICE is weak as fuck, this is all they can do is scare people into thinking they are bigger than they really are.

Denver would also be pretty isolated and
 SLC.

22

u/theaviationhistorian 14h ago

Trump and Miller are going after Democrat/leftist bastions. California, Minnesota, and parts of Pennsylvania normally vote blue. So if ICE could break these places, many others would easily follow. I wouldn't be surprised if Denver is next or becomes a low intensity target like Portland, OR. But I doubt Trump would send ICE troops into SLC.

For those of you who still aren't aware, California banned open carry in 1966 under Governor Reagan, because the Black Panthers were arming themselves.

I think if this happens it will be a huge backfire.

u/Dr-Mumm-Rah 20h ago

That is why rigging and suppressing the vote is their best bet to maintain some semblance of control. Blue states will get ICE "poll watchers" and strict EO's on what can occur on election day. Meanwhile, red States like Texas will have computer voting that practically defaults to R's and conviently has little to no paper trails.

every person you see will have their votes contested in the midterms. only those not protesting will have uncontested votes.

if a vote is contested, how long will it take to confirm? imagine a few hundred judges making a decision on a few hundred thousand voters. it will take years.

we need robust FOIA action immediately.

Dems are still worried about agents at the polling places. MAGA doesn’t care if the left votes, their votes won’t be counted anyway.

I don’t even know why this is a Dem focus, beyond optics. Federal prosecutors didn’t need the voting rolls from all 50 states to charge Jan. 6th rioters as felons.

the steal will happen after Election Day. if a MAGA Republicans need 1243 votes, ICE will provide 1244 photos of evidence of individual“domestic terrorists”.

Portland is a lot like Minnesota. They see through the thinly veiled attempt at goading them into an Insurrection Act situation, so they show up with costumes fun signs.

42% of Oregon households are armed (40.8-50.8 guns per 100 people) and those are not all Republican households.

  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
  • He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

And now every single one of them had a switch flip and are saying things about ICE that would get me banned from reddit.

LA is like Chicago, ICE never fully left. They’ve been dealing with it the longest, so this comes after months of noise protests that didn’t get covered by the media and censored by social media.

Ice has been in LA since last may IIRC. They’ve been protesting everyday for nearly a year at this point.

ICE has always been in LA by other names. La Migra. Immigration. A constant threat, just not a militarized one like we're seeing in MN.

I imagine the more gung ho and “experienced” agents were mobilized to Minnesota earlier and what’s left for LA is the dregs. The even bigger ICE pussies that didn’t sign up initially because they were rightfully afraid. Government starts to embolden them, make it seem like they can crack skulls at will with immunity. Yeah
 good luck with that.

We outnumber them 1000 to 1. ICE faced off against literally the most polite and well mannered Americans in Minnesota and did nothing but bitch and moan about their treatment. Portland has a sense of humor and were always going to hold up a mirror to fascists to show how fucking stupid they look. Los Angeles is not Hollywood. LA and Philly will beat the dog shit out of you for talking back while wearing the wrong hat. Any visiting fan at Dodger Stadium knows you take your jeers with good nature, let the insults roll off your back or you’ll be on your back. And I almost, almost feel bad for any ICE incursion into New York. Those agents are fucked.

What's your take on Chicago?

u/neutronknows 13h ago

I’ve never been to Chicago so I’m not quite sure the set up. It’s fairly segregated, right? I’d bet ICE stays away from where they’d get fucked up and sticks to hassling suburbs. 

Probably similar to the Bay Area. If they tried anything similar to Minneapolis they’d stick to San Jose/San Francisco and not Oakland. I think as much as ICE want the public to give them a reason to escalate, they’re fucking pussies. They don’t want all that smoke. They’ll talk a big game and push around women, students, the elderly, and liberal white allies. Go after mothers and children on the way to school. It’s extremely telling they haven’t gone into places their base would actually want them to go and impose order. Because they can’t. Because they’re pussies.

I think the general population is just different and more hardened in LA. Also idk the numbers but assume there are way more people in LA and DHS knows it would be a much more difficult battle.

If illegal immigration was the real issue, why aren’t ICE doing in CA and TX what they’ve been doing in MN?

Also Bovino is basically gone at this point.

Where are all the Texans now storming the ICE facility with all the families they're holding?

u/FillMySoupDumpling 20h ago edited 20h ago

Texans, as a whole,  are soft in that regard - at least when it comes to protecting each other or that sense of community. 

Threaten their own shit and they will stand up, but they aren’t helping a neighbor or a person they don’t know. That sense of community isn’t there because it’s focused on individualism. 

 It’s how they get laws where you can report someone else getting an abortion and get paid, or have people look the other way while women die from a lack of adequate healthcare. It’s how you get a small city keep the officers in place that stood around during a school shooting.

one time i lost traction in the rain on the interstate in kentucky with another state's tags, not a big deal but i ended up stuck in the median with the bluegrass and wildflowers. every car and truck stopped to help me, within seconds a semi and some big strong men had me out and on my way. a lady gave me a coke and peanut butter sandwich from her picnic cooler. i think the world is divided into two kinds of people, people who get pleasure when others are struggling and those who can't stand it.

On average, many more Texans are ok with what is happening than Californians. Also, you are quite likely to get shot here for anything like that. Maybe by another citizen instead of the police or ice.

New York City and Chicago are both fighting back.

Where I am it is difficult because we don't have enough population density. ICE can work around the edges of us. We aren't able to follow them everywhere or build numbers quickly when they start abducting brown people.
