This is patently false.

DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry.

But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone.

This lawlessness must stop.

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park.

Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through.

The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.

Absolutely outrageous.

Wrote a thing: ...at the heart of it is another Trumpian Big Lie, that immigrants are a burden and menace. We need to fight the false story with a true one: this country needs its immigrants and they are a blessing and an enrichment of what this country is and in many ways its heart and soul.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Senator Padilla pledged to help us answer some questions on why California’s workers are being hunted down like prey.

He’s doing his best to get some answers.

David Huerta is one of our great labor leaders & a tremendous human being. It’s been an honor to work with him to lift up working people in California.

I’m grateful he’s now free. His arrest & detention were illegal. He’s now facing bogus criminal charges by the regime.

I stand with David Huerta.
UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

I'm filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to end the illegal takeover of a CalGuard unit, which has escalated chaos and violence in LA.

Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority.

We will not let this stand.

He wants to arrest California elected officials. This is part of his fascist plan.

Immigrants help fuel California’s success & help make California the world’s fourth largest economy & the economic engine for the U.S. That drives the Millers of the world nuts. Hence, the threat.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.
