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.
start checking trucks with flir cameras and ziptie the latches on the doors for the lulz.
Sure, I suppose if you are looking to kill a truckload of immigrants. Otherwise, maybe dont assume any warm body must be ICE.
you’re right. I could tell the difference between assholes with guns and immigrants. you might not be able to though.
lol. Keep dreaming your little murder fantasy, bub.
At some point I have to start asking are people just that stupid to think the crazy wanna be Nazis arnt going to Nazi it up?
Like this has been going on for a good while now. How are there still people risking it instead of running away to somewhere anywhere else.
Be it deeper into the heartland of the USA where ice seems less active, up to Canada or back to Mexico.
Like WHY would you stay where you know it’s this risky.
If your lively hood is based on day jobs and standing out side of a home depo then you can do that more or less at any home depo. Why would you stay in a city this actively hostile?!
I get it if you have family or something holding you down making that hard. But God damn. It’s becoming a weekly if not daily thing to hear shit like this.
I would assume people would have better self preservation. Hell just go further north in California.
Not everyone has the means to just abandon their job and their community and move somewhere else. Certainly not everyone can just move to a different country. Even if you have the means and the ability to enter the other country, if you try to do so there’s a good chance ICE will grab you at the border. And if you move inside the USA there’s a good chance the move will bring you to the attention of the authorities.
