Feds to take control of 2000 Cali National Guardsmen for anti ICE riots

[putnam6]

I hear Stalin liked to use that quote, I’m guessing you know that.

It is the opposite of American Spirit to make mass arrests just to catch a few criminals.

 
 You believe whatever you read without question, like a good little Democrat is supposed to, but

By the 1930s, Western journalists and pro-Soviet intellectuals sometimes linked it to Stalin to explain or excuse Soviet violence, but this seems to be more of a rhetorical flourish than a direct quote from him.

Since the snarky point-making gotcha opening statement appears to be DOA, Mr. Yankee Doodle Democrat

let's explore the use of the well-worn, battered, and bruised American Spirit cliche.

Is that the American Spirit, where it's okay to stop American Federal officers from enforcing a lawful order?

Or is it the American Spirit that spray-painted 'Fu-- America' all over downtown LA?

Or was it the American Spirit that threw a Molotov cocktail at a cop?

Or is it the American Spirit when they burn the Stars and Stripes and multiple Waymo EVs?

Or is it the American Spirit that burned and looted the Democratic dominated Downtown Los Angeles, costing their leftist brothers and sisters stores millions in product losses, conservative estimates are already approaching 500 million in losses so far

Or is it the American Spirit where the losing party in an election gets extra pissy, goes absolutely bat shit bonkers with an historic number of injunctions, usurping the will of and disenfranchising the 52% of American voters. All within the first 200 days? That American Spirit?
 

There’s no definitive evidence that Joseph Stalin ever said, “To make an omelet, you need to break a few eggs.” The phrase is often attributed to him to justify the brutal costs of his policies, like collectivization or purges, which caused millions of deaths. However, the quote doesn’t appear in Stalin’s documented speeches or writings.
 
The saying itself predates Stalin and is a proverb found in various forms across cultures. It was popularized in English by figures like Robespierre during the French Revolution and later used by Lenin’s supporters. By the 1930s, Western journalists and pro-Soviet intellectuals sometimes linked it to Stalin to explain or excuse Soviet violence, but this seems to be more of a rhetorical flourish than a direct quote from him.

WOW  

The REAL REASON behind the Los Angeles riots.

I looked this up and it’s true A fashion tax evasion investigation raid was happening, that’s why ICE was in LA.

Over $97 million in money laundering from Mexico into California Democrats fueled the riots

THE SAME DAY The ICE operations in the Fashion District, specifically targeting Ambiance Apparel, were part of a criminal investigation into money laundering, tax evasion, and customs fraud.

According to reports, the investigation involved a company that under-declared over $80 million in goods and failed to pay $17 million in fees,

with some of the money allegedly being laundered to fund cartel activity in Mexico.

The ICE raids began around June 6, 2025, and sparked significant protests and riots in downtown Los Angeles, particularly in the Fashion District and outside federal buildings.

The unrest was fueled by the perception that the raids were immigration sweeps, though officials clarified they were targeting criminal activities like tax evasion and money laundering.

How many California Democrats were involved in this scam to rally the whole city to riot and have their media blast it on every channel?!?!

Is it such a reach that it is a foreign country that would do this? I know China would, but they would need boots on the ground, so would Soros or any other entity

When you see the border procedures in other countries, you get an idea of how strict it is elsewhere. The slightest crim history, visa issues or possibility of them seeking work, they get sent home asap.

Asians hoard food, Brits hoard tobacco, etc etc. Just a random episode with lots of random issues, but the idea of undocumented immigrants soon becomes abhorrent. 

It's funny to watch, because officers follow up on the questions by checking people's phones, or calling their supposed contacts in AUS. They get busted every time. No right to privacy or process. Anyway, we watch it a lot.

Follow-up to the ICE Investigation into Ambience Apparel in the LA Fashion District

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/polic...s-angeles/

White House “border czar” Tom Homan on Monday revealed that federal law enforcement activity in the fashion district of downtown Los Angeles late last week was part of a multiagency effort to serve three warrants at a local business believed to be involved in a slew of cross-border crimes.

Following the operation, protesters quickly descended on downtown and surrounding regions and called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that enforces immigration laws inside the United States, to be abolished.
“The Fashion District wasn’t an immigration raid,” Homan told MSNBC Monday morning. “It was a service of three criminal warrants [at] locations based on a large criminal conspiracy … that has to do with money laundering, tax evasion, and customs fraud for a company that has undeclared, underdeclared over $80 million in goods, failed to pay $17 million in fees. They believe that some of this money is being laundered in Mexico to fund cartel activity.”
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that “rioters in Los Angeles are fighting to keep rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals loose on Los Angeles streets.”
“Instead of rioting, they should be thanking ICE officers every single day who wake up and make our communities safer,” McLaughlin said.
A number of those arrested while serving the warrant have been identified as illegal immigrants. Some of the illegal immigrants have been described as having serious criminal histories, including criminal histories that the DHS provided for the following 11 people, just a portion of the total arrests.
The first string of illegal immigrants identified by ICE was issued on Monday. On Wednesday, the DHS announced more illegal immigrants who were arrested late last week, along with their criminal histories.

Not say i disagree or agree with anything you posted. But I would like to bring to peoples attention that even Stalin couldn't deport 3,000 people a day. I believe that number would amount to 1,094,000 people a year.
Shoot for the stars I guess.

Barry got close in his first year, but he didn't have to deal with the opposing party trying to adjudicate his every decision, plus he operated mostly under Dubya's immigration plan, which tailed off in later years.

Obama holds the record for the most formal removals (~3.2 million), earning the nickname "Deporter-in-Chief."

https://x.com/i/grok/share/rrbqtYxB4sckMo0050KMDITjc

Rankings of Presidents by Total Deportations (Removals + Returns) Since the 1960s

• Bill Clinton (1993–2001): ~12.3 million deportations
  • Clinton's two terms saw the highest total deportations, driven by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which expanded grounds for deportation and penalties for illegal entry. The majority were returns, especially at the border, as formal removals were ~2 million.
    
• George W. Bush (2001–2009): ~10.3 million deportations
  • Bush's administration intensified enforcement post-9/11 with the creation of DHS in 2002, which bolstered border security and detention programs. Approximately 2 million were formal removals, with the rest being returns.
    
• Barack Obama (2009–2017): ~5.3 million deportations
  • Obama holds the record for the most formal removals (~3.2 million), earning the nickname "Deporter-in-Chief." His administration focused on interior enforcement and criminal deportations, especially in his first term, but returns dropped compared to prior administrations. Total deportations (removals + returns) were lower than Clinton and Bush due to a shift toward formal removals over voluntary returns.
    
• Joe Biden (2021–2025): ~4.7 million deportations (through February 2024)
  • Biden's numbers are inflated by Title 42 expulsions (a public health measure from March 2020 to May 2023), which accounted for ~3 million border expulsions. Formal removals were ~649,000, significantly lower than Obama or Trump’s first term. High border encounters (9.4 million from FY 2021–2024) drove returns.
    
• Donald Trump (2017–2021): ~2.1 million deportations
  • Trump’s first term saw fewer deportations than his predecessors, with ~1.2 million formal removals. His administration prioritized deporting all undocumented immigrants, not just criminals, but faced logistical and legal challenges, including court injunctions. Border returns were lower than under Biden due to fewer border crossings.
    
• Ronald Reagan (1981–1989): ~1.6 million deportations
  • Data for Reagan’s era is less comprehensive, but deportations were moderate, with an estimated 1.6 million total (removals + returns). The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 legalized ~3 million immigrants, reducing the pool of deportable individuals.
    
• Lyndon B. Johnson (1963–1969): Limited data, likely <1 million
  • Deportation numbers were lower in the 1960s due to less stringent enforcement and smaller undocumented populations. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 focused on family reunification and legal immigration, with minimal emphasis on mass deportations. Exact figures are unavailable but significantly lower than later decades.
    
• Richard Nixon (1969–1974), Gerald Ford (1974–1977), Jimmy Carter (1977–1981): Limited data, each likely <1 million
  • Deportations during these administrations were modest, with no major policy shifts driving mass removals. Data is sparse, but annual deportations were likely in the low hundreds of thousands, primarily returns at the border.
    
• George H.W. Bush (1989–1993): ~1–1.5 million deportations
  • Deportations increased slightly due to growing border enforcement, but numbers remained lower than Clinton’s era. Exact figures are estimates based on limited DHS data.
    

 

Deportations by Fiscal Year (2009–2016):

• 2009: 973,937 total (removals: ~389,834; returns: ~584,103)  
  • High numbers reflect the inherited enforcement policies from the Bush administration.
    
• 2010: 392,000 removals (total including returns not fully specified, but over 600,000 combined). Half were convicted criminals (~195,000).
  
• 2011: ~391,953 removals (total ~600,000–700,000 with returns).
  
• 2012: 409,849 removals (peak year for formal removals). Total with returns ~700,000.
  
• 2013: 438,421 removals (record high), including ~198,400 with criminal records. Total with returns ~600,000–700,000.
  
• 2014: 414,481 removals, a 5% drop from 2013, with 168,000 having criminal convictions. Total with returns ~600,000.
  
• 2015: 235,413 removals (sharp decline due to new enforcement priorities focusing on criminals and recent arrivals). Total with returns ~450,000.
  
• 2016: 344,354 removals, 530,250 apprehensions (total with returns ~500,000–600,000).
  

Total for Obama’s Presidency (2009–2016):

• Formal removals: ~3.1–3.2 million (highest of any U.S. president).
  
• Total including returns: ~5.24–5.3 million.
  

Notes:

• The high numbers early in Obama’s presidency (2009–2012) were driven by a robust enforcement system inherited from Bush, with a focus on both border and interior removals.
  
• After 2012, deportations declined as Obama shifted priorities to focus on criminals, national security threats, and recent border crossers, reducing interior enforcement.
  
• The term “deportation” often refers to formal removals, but including returns inflates totals, as seen in some claims of 5.3 million.
  
• Data varies slightly across sources due to differences in defining “deportation” (removals vs. returns). I’ve used DHS figures and cross-referenced multiple reports for accuracy.
  
• Fiscal year 2009 includes Bush’s final months (October 2008–January 2009), and fiscal year 2017 includes Trump’s first months (January–September 2017), so exact attribution to Obama is approximate.

And so the wallet drops begin.
Congress demands investigation into China-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, who's funding radical groups

A shadowy US billionaire who is bankrolling radicals, including groups involved in this week’s riots in Los Angeles, faces being hauled before a Congressional committee, according to a Republican lawmaker.
China-based Neville Roy Singham will be called to testify about his funding of myriad non-profits including radical anti-Israel and Marxist groups.
They include the Party for Liberation and Socialism, which has been heavily involved in protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles this week, although there is no evidence they have been directly involved in any of the violence which has erupted there.

"oh that's just hearsay" some will say, but read further on,

In April, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary urged the Department of Justice to investigate the People’s Forum and Code Pink, leftist activist groups affiliated with Singham and his wife Jodie Evans.
 
Born in Chicago, the software entrepreneur and his activist wife now live in Shanghai but still funnel plenty of money back to the US.
 
Although they deny working for the Chinese government, they share offices with the Maku Group, a propaganda network which promotes the Chinese Communist Party abroad.
 
“Evidence suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have been funded and influenced by … Singham and the communist Chinese government, both of which are foreign principals.
 
“The evidence also suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have engaged in political activities that directly advance the communist Chinese government’s political and policy interests,” said committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
 
Last year, the House Ways and Committee asked the IRS to revoke the exempt status for the People’s Forum, a Manhattan-based non-profit financed by Singham. That group helped organize anti-Israel demonstrations in the city a day after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel that left 1,200 Israelis dead.
 
Some of the group’s members were also behind the violent demonstrations at an encampment for Gaza at Columbia University last year.

One quick(ish) one. Slightly less ranting.

Prove me wrong on this one.

Marines could join National Guard in protecting ICE agents on raids

Let's just assume "may" means "will."

A few weeks ago, in South Park, residents surrounded the officers and yelled obscenities at them. I understand exactly why they did it. I would have joined them.

I predict in future raids, like in Liberal San Diego neighborhoods like South Park, the military are going to join them and start arresting people pissed off about the zero tolerance immigrant dragnet.  The threshold for arrest won't be much. Walking on the wrong sidewalk even. 

I also predict he specifically targets the neighborhoods most likely to react the strongest to ICE presence to bring the Marines along on.  It's his MO.. For "ICE's protection" (not irony) and extra instigation of his haters..

Now comes the part where Trump intimidates people from daring to surround one of his raids ever again.

But really, he wants people to get pissed and go get arrested by the military for yelling at ICE agents, or intimidate people from even trying. One type of submission or another is all he really wants. 

He truly wants more of this. To ever corner of the country where someone dares oppose an ICE raid. 

I may be wrong, but I am betting on not being, because what i said is what an authoritative or fascist regime would do with dissent during their heavy-handed authoritarian actions.

Make America Great or Make America Like Russia? Because doing the shit they are doing so far is just going to make serveral left-leaning American women Nadya Tolokonnikova... and probably some feminist men too!

Respond or don't, but mark it as a prediction if they go down that ICE + Marines + arresting civilians road.

Same bat channel tomorrow.

Why are people rioting because people that wave Mexican flags are being taken back to Mexico?

[WallFlowerActive]

A few weeks ago, in South Park, residents surrounded the officers and yelled obscenities at them.

Which would be interfering with federal officers from their official duties? Where there is a difference between peaceful demonstrations vs gathering to prevent carrying out sworn duties.  What’s the definition of insurrection again?

So?  Where did all that vandalism, graffiti, looting, and burning come from in LA?

[quintessentone]

Why are people rioting because people that wave Mexican flags are being taken back to Mexico?

They will be deported to the country of their origin...except those countries which refuse deportees (Cuba...etc). Instead the country of Kosovo has agreed to take 50 of those deportees. Crazy shit.

They are raiding churches now.
