Fascist deportation force carrying out racist arrests meet resistance, again use violence with vehicles used against peaceful protesters for second day running
The descent of the US into fascism under Donald Trump has begun to meet resistance on the streets of Los Angeles – but Trump’s paramilitary Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents – reported on occasions to include many far0-right militiamen – have responded with brutality toward protesters and resisters.
Yesterday, one protester was run over by an unmarked ICE vehicle trying to prevent another abduction of members of their community, with the vehicle then fleeing the scene, leaving the injured man untended in the road:
And today, according to multiple reports summarised by political commentator John O’Connell, ICE vehicles rammed a whole crowd of protesters and passersby, leaving many injured in their wake:
Footage from elsewhere in Los Angeles gives an idea of the scale of the raids and the resistance:
People, many of them citizens or legal immigrants, have been abducted by supposed ICE agents off the street or from their homes, often without any kind of warrant and often spirited away to unknown, out of state detention facilities or out of the country altogether, frequently despite courts ordering them not to do so.
The fascist actions of US agencies is chilling for the people of the UK, whose government often follows close behind the US. In this case, Starmer is already turning the UK into a police state, misusing anti-terror laws against pro-Palestinian journalists and activists and anti-protest restrictions against peaceful anti-genocide protesters.

And all this springs from a racist, supremacist, mass-murdering genocidal bunch of terrorist thugs in Israel, as with the A/S black op against Jeremy and the left, concocted and contrived to subvert democracy. Which it did!
If you didn’t see this when I posted it on here last week please share far and wide and help to get the truth out there to the millions who’ve been duped and deceived, as with the 40 beheaded babies falsehood/atrocity propaganda – ie an NYT investigation entitled Visual Evidence Shows Israel Dropped 2,000-Pound Bombs Where It Ordered Gaza’s Civilians to Move for Safety – “at least two hundred times during the first six weeks” – posted on December 21st, 2023:

And has no doubt dropped thousands more in/on so-called safe zones since then and killed and maimed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children and babies and non-combatant men etc. Hundreds of thousands most likely!
I have an easier way to the truth of beheaded babies. Meet Zaka. https://youtu.be/95X6uWZ9k9Q?si=dDV6h-Xh4BFRlJXv
Thanks for the TRT report Jillazzouzb- its quality massively shames similar output from the BBC…
Literal nazis.. And they will come for anybody. First they came for the muslims. Now its anybody who speaks out about israel.. Quite why they need to protect jews and kill Muslims is abhorrent.
The empire is falling and in their death throes they will fight like pigs.
It is usually up to state governer to bring in the national guard but Trump used a little know Title 10 to interfere top down which it’s Governer calls “Inflamatory.”
Then Lumpen Trump makes a number of assumptions “Organised by the radical Left” and “Paid protesters” both of course without evidence.
Perhaps communities are trying to defend their friends & family members when the ICE thugs come knocking or rather just barge in to deport people on the spot.
And which socialists & other decent citizens wouldn’t stand with their neighbours as the US Right slips into barbarism.
Trump’s war on diverse people in America perhaps = WAR IS PEACE?
And is his narrow Right Wing FREEDOM of speech but not to critical questioning of this SLAVERY?
And is his (& his supporters) IGNORANCE Right Wing STRENGTH?
You may have gathered I’m reading Orwell’s 1984 & very relevant for today.
“Newspeak, which would render it impossible for speakers to criticise the party, or in fact have any critical opinions at all, thus allowing them to exert another level of control over their citizens.” (From Life & Times Introduction.)
It’s fake
Who paid for and delivered the piles of rocks dotted around? The ones being thrown at random vehicles. Not the authorities mind.
Meanwhile, LA burns literally (protestors have started brush fires). Plays nicely into that build back better bollocks
Wake up and smell the ashes.
I’m curious why we aren’t reading about labours plans and sins. Britcard anyone?
Land of the free, as long as you’re rich.
And white?
Right Wing & white but not perhaps white & progressive or White & Left Wing?
