“Today, the highest court in the country ruled that the White House and masked federal agents can racially profile Angelenos with no due process, snatch them off the street with no evidence or warrant, and take them away with no explanation. This decision will lead to more working families being torn apart and fear of the very institutions meant to protect—not persecute—our people,” ~ @MayorOfLA

There continue to be raids in Los Angeles in clear violation of the TRO. This morning vendors and day laborers were kidnapped from the Home Depot on Wilshire.
Surprise surprise, @SecNoem’s ICE lied their asses off hear in LA which destroyed many of their cases
- ICE agents claimed protesters attacked them, but video showed the agents struck first.
- They misidentified people in official reports, causing cases to collapse.
- They exaggerated the protests’ violence to justify charges that were mostly dismissed.
- Agents accused one man of using a weapon, but footage showed he was empty-handed.
- They said protesters ignored warnings to disperse, though no such warnings were issued.
- Officials claimed injuries to agents that medical records later showed did not exist.
So yes, LA endured an amateur hour hear that distrusted the lives and businesses of innocent people and their families. All to distract the media from Trump’s starring role in the Epstein Files.

L.A. Taco has confirmed with the family of 20yr old Adrian Andrew Martinez, who was taken by ICE while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is a US citizen who was speaking up for his coworker that was detained. ~ @el_tragon_de_LA
Allies,
Please see this fundraiser for 14 families of the detained workers from Ambiance Apparel, a garment warehouse and store.
They're raising funds for their bonds and for the families left without their primary breadwinners.

NEW: On Friday, ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody.
Those workers — and their employer — just happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory
My latest @theintercept
A Tufts PhD student is being held by the US Govt for a month now for the sole crime of co-authoring an op-ed critical of Israel.
Rümeysa Öztürk, in the US legally, was stripped of her visa for that prohibited op-ed and is locked in a for-profit detention prison in Louisiana.
Following rallies in Seattle & Tacoma, Windmill mushroom workers will gather in front of a Safeway in Spokane today at 3pm to continue the UFW Boycott Windmill Farms mushrooms campaign & announce the official backing of the WA Education Association (WEA). More ⬇️

Reposting, there’s over 200 listed. This is the Displaced Black Families Directory. Reminder that Altadena is one of the oldest Black middle class neighborhoods in LA cause it was one of the first to allow Black people to buy homes. There’s generations. https://t.co/fwQC0pb2hq
