    It probably doesn’t need to be said here, but it should be hammered into every liberal’s head around us that the Democratic officials that are trying to exculpate themselves in this article are the ones that have armed and trained the police and national guard that are cracking the skulls of people against ICE. Trump did not send the LAPD in on that first day. Hell the LAPD statement is saying “actually Mr. Trump, we would have made ICE’s job easier if you hadn’t slowed us down”.

    Just because they say a few token words against Trump does not make them any less guilty.

      They also should be reminded that these ice agents are not new hires. They all served under Biden.

      Trump did not hire 100,000 new immigration agents after putting an article in a ku Klux Klan newsletter. Most of them were serving under Trump’s first administration. Biden kept them on the job.

          Understanding how nonsensical that point is should be a massive step towards radicalization. All governments that counter the will of the people have to use force against those people.

          If you only see force against the wealthy, then that government is enacting the will of the workers. If you only see force against workers, that government is enacting the will of the wealthy.

    I know it’s useless to point this stuff out, but from 2008 to 2012, all we heard from these fuckers was posse comitatus every time Obummer stepped outside of the White House. They had their little protests where they armed up and marched through the streets to oppose invasion of their states. A milita joined up with beef farmers to take over and hold a federal park while threatening to escalate if the NG was sent in. Not to mention that years before, any mention of the NG, or any federal agents, operating on state/local land would be met with violent fervor. Even in carrying out the duty of law enforcement in pursuit of a criminal case (Ruby Ridge, Waco).

    Like, no shit, the capitalist empire state is not self-consistent. It just sucks to watch it happen over the span of my life again and again.

        If I understand correctly, the president can request the assistance of the NG but final say still sits with the governor except in very specific situations that don’t currently apply, like invoking the insurrection act.
