A few years ago, I explained in this short video how the cash bail system works. It makes everyone in our society less safe--it's sort of the equivalent of a modern "flat-earther" policy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO5J...

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

These injuries were not inflicted by ICE or federalized guardsmen or imaginary agitators. They were inflicted by LAPD and LASD, under the direction of a supposedly democratic mayor, against people who came out to protest peacefully against fascism and racist kidnappings of our neighbors.
From a medic member:
Today I treated
TBI w head laceration
finger hanging by the skin
Broken leg
Broken hand
1/2 dozen more people in need of stitches.
Same # blinded by tear gas.
Another dozen w bleeding goose eggs welts.
Ran out of bandages. Clothes are covered in ppls blood
Oldest was in his 70s”

LAPD and LASD will continue to crack people’s skulls open and blow off fingers because the $100 million plus that it’ll cost the city is nothing compared to giving in to protesters demands. With their misconduct built into the budget, there is no accountability for their violence.

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

But nowhere in this NYT article--or pretty much anywhere in mainstream news--is there any indication of on what authority El Salvador claims to be detaining these people. They are just hostages. And the article ignores that there is no lawful basis for their ongoing detention.

The U.S. media--like this article--talks about this as "deportation." But that's not what this is. It didn't follow relevant settled U.S. law, but more importantly, U.S. trafficked people not to freedom outside its borders, but to indefinite lawless detention in another country.

The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.
