🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

The group, made up almost entirely of Proud Boys & convicted J6ers painted over the flag with a White Christian Nationalist symbol. They seemed very proud of their little arts and crafts project.

Greetings! I’m here in South LA, in front of Santee High School. Federal law enforcement rammed a vehicle, and shot at least one suspect during a law enforcement operation. One man who streams on Tik Tok, Nick, was reportedly hit. One US marshal hit. Lots of preliminary info.

Bravo @prideatthepier.bsky.social for organizing an impactful event against hate group the Family Research Council and the rest of the Christo-Fascist Chino Valley tribe with their Proud Boy fan club.
Thank you to the ~1,000 people who came out to the “Expose, Unite, Resist” protest our coalition held this 10/17-10/18. This protest stood in opposition to the Christian Nationalist summit in Chino.
Christofascist and host Jack Hibbs came out at one point, and we got to call him out to his face.

The FRC, who sponsored the summit, has been labeled an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Perkins smiled as hundreds of people chanted “Shame” at him.
