In ‘Operation Trojan Horse’, masked officers in unmarked vehicle arrest 16 people, despite court order halting raids
US border patrol agents carried out a raid outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles on Wednesday, with officers jumping out of an unmarked rental truck and chasing and arresting more than a dozen people.
Videos of the operation, and federal officials’ statements boasting about the detentions, have raised questions about whether the US government was complying with a federal court order halting indiscriminate raids in the region due to evidence of racial profiling. That ruling, upheld last week by an appeals court, followed reports of Latino US citizens getting swept up in LA raids and accounts of undocumented people being targeted based on their appearance and whether they spoke Spanish.
I’ve maintained a mentality of Erasmus for so long; reform from within. I’ve commented before how unrealistic it is for CA/PNW secession. I’m now a huge proponent of it. Our last Civil War was fought over ‘states rights’. We’re seeing these rights absolutely demolished because of this administration. Our judicial system is flaunted, and our nation guard turned against us. We’ve been deprived of trade via tariffs, our tech is now (rightfully) spurned by our ‘allies’. CA has the largest GDP of the union (and 4th in the world) we need to make that felt.
Is seriously love to see states building and using their State Guard in direct opposition to the bullshit ICE is doing.
