Karen Bass: 'They need to leave right now. This is UNACCEPTABLE.'

Federal immigration officers, some on horseback and in armored vehicles, descended on MacArthur Park in Los Angeles this morning as part of what ICE called a “large–scale federal immigration enforcement operation” in a statement to CBS News. ICE also said that CBP led the operation.

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.

MAYOR BASS: “They need to leave right now. This is UNACCEPTABLE.” The mayor showed up as Trump’s Gestapo/ICE marched through MacArthur Park like an invading army. Ridiculous. They left. (h/t FOX LA)

REALLY AMERICAN BREAKING: The military and ICE just RAIDED LA's MacArthur Park, with over a hundred soldiers marching through.😳 Mayor Karen Bass immediately showed up, and demanded they leave. They did. No arrests were documented. πŸ‘πŸ‘

This is Macarthur Park in Los Angeles. Republicans have turned the United States in a military police state. I could not even imagine what Fox and Republicans would be saying if Biden or Obama sent the US military to terrorize communities in Texas.

NEW: Federal agents rolling into MacArthur Park in LA like they are trying to take Kabul. Absolute madness. As the reporter says here, it’s an unmarked, heavily armored vehicle with armed ‘soldiers’. No-one knows if it’s ICE or National Guard.

After Bass spoke with what I assume is a DHS rep, they packed shit up and headed out. The whole neighborhood turned out to chase them out of the park. Some fruit was thrown, alot of yelling

Our taxpayer dollars are going towards paying for white supremacists to cosplay as soldiers in Los Angeles for photo ops that are designed as propaganda for the Trump regime so they can convince their Fox News followers of a lie that the United States is under “invasion” and ICE is their savior.
