Just seconds after ICE agents fired smoke canisters into a crowd of demonstrators near Laguna Road, one individual could be clearly seen raising a firearm and appeared to discharge it in the agents' direction. The raid was part of the broad federal crackdown on undocumented workers in Southern California - but it quickly spiraled into bedlam.
Agents blocked off roads and stormed the facility in what witnesses described as a 'sudden and aggressive operation' - wha the fuck else would it be? You wouldn't expect them to send invites, wouldja?
Tear gas choked the air, smoke bombs were thrown and projectiles flew. Protesters, farmworkers, and family members scattered through the fields, many screaming, some hit, with others pouring milk over their faces to soothe burning eyes. At least three people were taken to the hospital while dozens more were detained.
That's what ICE does - they find people who aren't supposed to be here, they grab 'em, detain them (new term for lock their asses up), and ship their asses back to where ever the fuck they slithered in from.



I voted for this. Hell yeah, long over due.
ReplyDeletehow did the protesters know there was going to be a raid
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for the Fed's to raid companies for hiring illegals. Start perp walking some CEO's and see how fast employee's are given their walking papers.
ReplyDeleteThe Feds ARE raiding companies. Some of the illegals, at least, are using stolen ID and can PASS e-verify. Case in point, a meat packing plant in Nebraska. Owners were totally in compliance with all federal requirements for checks. They required documents, got them, ran them, and they passed. There's no question that there are employers who don't look, don't check - and they should absolutely be held to account if they didn't. Just don't assume that the employer is dishonest too.
DeleteI agree with Brian. Charge and convict the employers
