Thousands of dollars in vehicle damage just to cos-play a traffic stop and point some guns at fellow Americans. Stay safe folks, fight the good fight, and fuck Donald Trump with all the rage he deserves.

Calling it Gestapo isn’t hyperbole. The Gestapo operated under the same model:

Surprise, violence, and public humiliation to keep the rest of the population obedient.

Many restaurants and few businesses in the neighborhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles have their doors locked after hearing of the detention. A mariscos restaurant I’m eating at has coverage of the pope’s response to the raids; the waitress is nervously watching the door.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

But ICE is only allowed to arrest people who are undocumented. If the man assaulted someone, then the LAPD should have arrested him. Frankly, it all sounds suss to me! I don’t believe a word of it!

The Department of Homeland Security has released a statement regarding the arrest, which states that the man they took into custody is accused of “punching a CBD officer,” during protests in Paramount, CA.

They have provided a name but no evidence as of yet. I’ll follow up.

For context, this detainment happened in Boyle Heights which is the spiritual heart of Chicano activism in the United States

LAPD is here, doing an “investigation” on the federal detainment of a driver here in Boyle Heights, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Immigration assistance from rapid response networks are here, and a crowd is beginning to form. There’s a tear gas canister thrown from federal authorities in the middle of the street.
