Martial Law in DC - Your City is Next? - #Bondi issued Order No. 6372-2025 implementing #ExecutiveOrder 14333 declaring #crime #emergency in #DC. Order empowers #DEA Administrator Terrance C. Cole to direct DC Mayor and Metropolitan Police to assist federal authorities in #immigration #enforcement, #apprehension #detention of #undocumented #immigrants, #database information-sharing, and clearing unlawful #publicspace occupancy overriding existing D.C. #laws and #policies. substack.com/redirect/14051f10

Meanwhile here in #losangeles (and I wish this was #satire but we don't need that shit anymore):

#federal agents are showing up at elementary schools, and trying to talk to actual children to find #undocumented #migrants then lying to staff members who refused them access to the children. Saying things like their family gave them permission, and hiding identification when staff started taking notes.

Unmarked vehicles. No warrants.

Heroes of staff members though.

Trump orders Dept of Commerce to create new #census that does not include #undocumented #migrants who live in United States. The #census count now includes All Persons living in the #UnitedStates. His goal is to redistrict all the voting maps to increase #GOP #republican voters in all states. This aligns w #GOP efforts in #Texas #Florida #Indiana to #gerrymander redistrict to eliminate seats that provide transparent accurate representation 2 independent #democrat #voters #black #brown #democracy

@joelle yes and these people do way more good to society than MAGAts and other racist scum will ever admit.

  • They take on the "#ShitJobs" that noone else wants to and they do the honest hard labour that needs to get done.

And it's not as if they ain't 'paying their fair share' cuz unlike #billionaires, #undocumented folks in the #USA do pay #taxes on their in #income cuz otherwise the #IRS would be running their pockets faster than they could cite their TIN or SSN!

A Pattern of Violence

Documenting #ICE Agents’ Brutal Use of Force in LA Immigration Raids

"Agents have aimed firearms and sprayed chemical irritants at onlookers and protesters. They have launched tear gas and flash bang grenades into crowds. They have beaten the people they detain, struck them with batons, and restrained them face down in a prone position, pressing them into the pavement and restricting their abilities to breathe.

Agents often deployed these violent tactics against the targets of #immigration raids — people they presumed to be #undocumented #immigrants. In the majority of cases reviewed for this story, federal agents used force against U.S. citizens who were attempting to document raids or intervene by putting their bodies between the agents and their neighbors."
