Protesters are now starting to appear in the streets as ICE raids businesses, their agents in full combat uniforms and their faces masked.

Hundreds protest ICE, federal law enforcement action in Minneapolis after restaurant raid

Federal law enforcement officers raided a Minneapolis taco restaurant Tuesday morning, sparking protests from immigrant rights activists and neighbors.

Officers wearing the uniforms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Minneapolis Police Department, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI, and the criminal investigation arm of the IRS surrounded Las Cuatro Milpas on East Lake Street.

Protesters gathered on the other side of the police tape, shouting at officers and questioning why Minneapolis police — whose leaders swore wouldn’t assist federal agencies in civil immigration enforcement — stood alongside ICE agents as officers searched the building.

In a statement posted to social media, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said the incident was "not related to immigration enforcement."

Riot police, anti-ICE protesters square off in Los Angeles after raids

LOS ANGELES - Helmeted police in riot gear turned out on Friday evening in a tense confrontation with protesters in downtown Los Angeles, after a day of federal immigration raids in which dozens of people across the city were reported to be taken into custody.

Live Reuters video showed Los Angeles Police Department officers lined up on a downtown street wielding batons and what appeared to be tear gas rifles, facing off with demonstrators after authorities had ordered crowds of protesters to disperse around nightfall.

THE NO KINGS MOVEMENT

The No Kings Movement is a nationwide grassroots movement against authoritarian overreach and billionaire influence in the U.S. government. With Donald Trump’s policies and Elon Musk’s unelected control threatening the balance of power, the movement mobilizes protests, advocacy, and direct action to demand a government that answers to We the People.

The movement is calling for a national day of protest on June 14. How much of an impact this will have remains to be seen, but hopefully we're starting to see the beginning of strong, widespread protests against the increasingly authoritarian US government.

What can one person do to secure democracy? More than you think. From civil disobedience to trolling snitch hotlines and weaponizing satire, everyday Americans have come up with creative ways to challenge oppressive systems. Here is a playbook for defending democracy from the ground up that includes boycotts and ironic noodle worship. History reveals that resistance rarely starts in the halls of power; it starts with us.

Strategies for Civil Resistance
Economic non-cooperation
Non-violent interjection
Humor or creative resistance

ICE snatch...what...40?...illegals in LA. Only 800 000 to go.

 

[Blue Mountain]

By going to full-on assault mode with their raids, ICE has aroused the ire of the American public. They do not like the image of armed masked men in the streets rounding up people.

How soon before US troops start firing into crowds of peaceful US citizens?

And martial law is called? And the "undesirables" get rounded up?

It's all part of the fascist plan. Escalation as learned from 1930's Germany.

Very soon, I suspect. Sad, sad country it has become.

It was always the endgame.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

The next No Kings protest is going to be scary for the people attending . So much respect for the people who dare go. I honestly don't know if I would have dared, had I lived in the States.

Keith Edwards discusses how the LAPD stated the LA protests over ICE raids were largely peaceful, directly contradicting Donald Trump’s claim that the city was under violent assault by radical demonstrators. While Trump invoked emergency powers to deploy the National Guard, local officials emphasized that there was no widespread unrest requiring such action.

I'm trying to find a home to discuss this rise of American fascism without getting the ban hammer. Reddit doesn't seem to be the safe place to do so, and thinking I might be the problem I'll try to keep my F-bombs to a minimum. Having said that what the f is wrong with America and how did we get here?

I wonder if this is rooted in the origins, the US created an elected monarchy, whilst actual monarchies moved to democracy. The Us constitution is too hard to change and has failed to evolve. From the acceptance of slavery , anti-Chinese legislation, to putting Japanese Americans in concentration camps to Macarthyism there is a long stream of 'facism' in Us politics.

Lots of folks have problems with the European style of liberalism and how they have "thought police" but they paid a very, very high price for allowing it to get as bad as it did, that we here in the States did not pay. We would have done well to listen.
