Newsom Says ‘Democracy is Under Assault’

LOS ANGELES (AP) " California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is "pulling a military dragnet" across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.

Newsom said Trump's immigration crackdown has gone well beyond arresting criminals and that "dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers and seamstresses" are among those being detained.

Comments

"LA's mayor and the governor have said Trump is putting public safety at risk by adding military personnel even though police say they don't need the help."

He did a good job pointing out that ICE started going after working people, not criminals, to maintain the Quotas that Trump and Miller set... kinda like when they set goals for Musk, which were ridiculous; based on conspiracy theories about 'waste and abuse' rather than on facts.

My favorite part was after in the Talking Heads commentary. The Red Tie Guy said, "CA is a failed state!". The fourth largest economy in the world behind only the US, China, Japan, and Germany is a failure?

My least favorite part is watching cable news, which is very rare these days.

Now Protestors in NYC are at a ICE Detention Center... peaceful so far.

But this is the Plan for all big blue cities... round up any brown people they see, abduct them off the streets or when they show up for scheduled Immigration meetings, create a crises, get on the news and stoke the hate of 'the other'.

I would say so Newsom understands, illegal immigration skews the representation of the US Congress.

"pulling a military dragnet"

Unfortunately this is what Biden'sBorderBash did.

action, reaction. I don't see why Pelosi didn't implement Biden's plan so Trump could reverse everything, EOs are reversible.
