> On Saturday, Trump administration officials denounced the city’s response to the Friday operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, criticizing Los Angeles officials for not helping the federal agents as well as blaming Democrats for the unrest. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, called the protests a “violent insurrection.”
Troubling given they’ve reportedly been exploring the invocation of the Insurrection Act. God knows they’d love an excuse to do so.
> Officials with the Homeland Security Department took aim at those in the Los Angeles Police Department, saying that they had not responded in a timely fashion as protesters surrounded the federal building in the city.
Gleichschaltung time? I’m sure they’re foaming at the mouth to reduce blue states’ and cities’ control over any armed forces.
Not sure how familiar people outside of LA are with this but in LA / SoCal at large, unauthorized people, kids, and families are very closely integrated into the community. Everybody knows someone. There’s widespread anger because the community sees them as human, as valuable, and as worth protecting. It’s hard to watch your neighbors get black-bagged by masked cops.

>California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the federal government is moving to deploy the California National Guard in response to protests in Los Angeles over immigration operations that have resulted in some clashes between demonstrators and authorities. The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” Newsom posted on social media. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”

Also for people out of the loop, this kicked off because of (among other things) raids on elementary school graduations. Very touching video [here](https://bsky.app/profile/javalle.art/post/3lqylaxhw722q)
