I've been wondering how ICE agents feel about some of these enforcement actions that may seem quite different from what they signed up for.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.”
Genuinely, morale is way down.

I think people are sleeping on how catastrophically bad ICE morale is right now.

The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Fifth generation Angeleno here. I am not afraid of undocumented seamstresses reporting to work every day in the garment district.
I’m terrified of secret police in tanks rolling down residential streets with machine guns disappearing people without due process.
I hope this helps!

About 300 National Guard troops were deployed in Los Angeles on Sunday on orders from President Donald Trump following clashes between federal immigration authorities and protesters seeking to block them from carrying out deportations.

Some of the troops were stationed outside Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, one of several sites that have seen confrontations involving hundreds of demonstrators and federal law…

They did that same spin about my town Portland in 2020 (made the whole place look like it was on fire), where they tested that whole throwing people in unmarked vans thing. I'm so sorry.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

They tested this out in Portland in 2020, and the national media blamed Portland rather than the feds. Let’s not let that happen again.

PDX in Portland had the same operations done to them in 2020.
Statues were made when "HS" agents were kidnapping citizens--same masks, no badges, non-identifying vehicles.

Portland 2020. Unmarked cars, masked unmarked uniforms. Paid instigators. Trump bragging he would bring justice to Portland. He’s still on that rant. Persistence wins though. Be calm, resist, be nonviolent. LA: you can win.

I feel like people have amnesia as to what happened in Portland in 2020. DHS drove around abducting people with unmarked vans. The mayor got tear gassed. DHS was always this.

When Republicans voted the last wave of tax cuts for the rich in 2017, quite a few Republicans lost their seat in 2018. We should remind them that we're paying attention and we'll do the very same thing in 2026. They're craven but they're not immovable.

Important -- IF the bill passes the House, the fight's not over. It will then go to the Senate for a vote. If the Senate makes any changes (and they probably will), then whatever they pass will have to go back to the House for another vote.
