Former ICE official: “I’m very worried that they are going to be Proud Boys and other insurrectionists and hoodlums,” Shuchart said. “What self-respecting person who wants a meaningful career in law enforcement would go to work at the ERO right now, knowing the way ERO comports itself?”

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

ABC’s Moran nailed it. Stephen Miller, Trump’s Montgomery Burns deportation villain and Santa Monica native, especially hates L.A. because he was stuffed in his SAMOHI locker for being a dick. Miller can't go after his high-school tormentors, so his vengeance is to demonize and scapegoat immigrants.
