LA protesters briefly blocked the 101 freeway again
- 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.

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.
