  • They stopped traffic in one direction, Reuters video shows. Police detained people and pushed the small crowd back.

Before the protests, a rise in ICE arrests

  • Migrant workers picked up at a well-known Italian restaurant in San Diego. A high school volleyball player detained and held for deportation after a traffic stop in Massachusetts. Courthouse arrests of people who entered the U.S. legally and were not hiding.

In Chicago, a small anti-ICE protest downtown

  • About 100 protesters marched through the streets of downtown Chicago on Tuesday afternoon.

Where is that user that was saying Trump wouldn't dispatch the National Guard? Oddly silent...

Edit: I found them. Turns out, they admitted they were wrong and apologized before wishing LAers well. So, not a bad person. I'd link the thread, but it has since been deleted, and I don't want to @ them.

Still waiting for the checks and balances to kick in, no doubt.

I've been trying since day one to tell em. Courts can't enforce anything. Anything at all

Trunp himself said in 2020 the National Guard can't be deployed without a governor asking for them: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-abc-news-town-hall-full-transcript/story?id=73035489

Y'all need to organize your protests into smaller groups all over the city. Make them thin their forces u til they are useless.

Honestly on a weekday the protests aren't particularly big as far as I can tell. There might be several, but they're not over a hundred big. It's kind of silly seeing the military response to such a small crowd, though.

Its true, they need to protest in smaller groups all over the city. They won't be able to do shit.
