Summary
Thousands protested in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against a surge in ICE raids under President Trump’s administration.
Demonstrators marched from Olvera Street to City Hall before blocking lanes on the 101 Freeway, leading to major traffic disruptions.
The California Department of Transportation confirmed freeway closures, while LAPD reported gridlock across key streets.
Trump has intensified deportations since taking office, prompting widespread demonstrations in major cities. Authorities have yet to confirm arrests or further enforcement actions.
Strikes? More like labor shortages. Where do these wealthy assholes think all their underpaid below minimum wage labor comes from? You can’t deport them, AND oppress them at the same time.
And the sad thing is, that’s where we are in this world. Where the best arguement against ruining an entire group of families lives is that they’d no longer be useful to a group of people who value them so little that they not only don’t pay a living wage, they break the law to do so.
That is where we are as a society.
If it were up to me, the legalization process would be instant, and unless there’s some valid reason to say no, EVERYONE would be legal.
For what it’s worth, the wealthy people aligned with Trump want a collapse so they can create their own fiefdoms. Their fiefdoms will allow immigrants in to do the “undesirable” jobs. They don’t want the US to be the richest most stable country, they want to OWN the richest most stable country, and they think tho only way to do that is start with deregulation and collapse. That part of the plan just happens to align with state actors who would love to see the US decline on a global scale. Really unfortunate that they’re rich enough to not have to worry about if the plan works or not, they’re happy to go along with the first part and just see what happens.
