It seems odd that the protesters have the time to take away from their jobs to protest. Not only do they protest in Spanish as Koenig pointed out but they wave the Mexican flag.ICE should release info on how many illegals that they have apprehended are on some sort of government allocated benefits.
Protesting IS their job. I suspect that many, if not most, are full-time employees of the various NGOs and clandestine organizations behind the protests. I haven't heard a lot about what's going on at USAID lately (a major source of funding for many of the NGOs), other than it was subordinated to Secretary of State Rubio. Hopefully that spigot has been cut off.
That is what will be their undoing. This happened in Atlanta c. 2007 where their Mexican flag waving splashed all over TV and the net resulted in legislative fixes to illegal employment.
Then the 2008 economic disaster happened, and most of them self-deported.
Yes, we have constitutionally protected freedom to protest. That freedom has been confirmed to allow some level of civil disobedience. The ONLY reason that protest is a thing is that the lazy media generates sensationalistic cheap copy from the stories of it. Otherwise, there would be no motivation to do it.
However, these protestors are impeding law enforcement. Following ICE, blowing whistles and honking horns. Blocking access. Alerting illegals. Helping illegals escape. All of this exceeds the legal allowance for protest and should be grounds for arrest.
J6 was a legal protest where a percentage of the protestors went too far and those people, and only those people, should have been arrested and charged. It was wrong to charge all the people just there to protest. It is also wrong to not arrest and charge the people that go too far.
And why don't we use water cannons and other tools to push back these unemployed, feminized, raging lunatics that cross the line from normie protesting like holding up a sign reading "Illegals are People Too" and chanting "we will overcome"? Why don't we question those that go too far, get their identity, charge them, fine them and cut off their government benefits?
The point here is lawlessness. It needs to end. If you don't like the law, then you should be protesting lawmakers to change it. Protesting is cool, but impeding law enforcement should not be accepted. Draw the f*cking line!
I’m with you. I do not understand why there can’t be a lawful perimeter around them that cannot be lawfully breached. If you have cameras recording the breaches, there shouldn’t be a problem documenting the crime and prosecuting the perps.
Agreed. But I'll go further and say that J6 was a setup. Basically coup organized by Democrats (and a few IC insiders) to cancel floor debate on the legitimacy of the 2020 election, and make Trump supporters look bad. The Democrat-adjacent media outlets immediately and unanamously calling it an "insurrection" is further evidence that it was a deep state coup.
I believe the same thing is happening with anti-Israel/anti-Jewish protesters. Recently in LA a group of screaming protesters was blocking the entrance to a synagogue and the police did nothing. This behavior is beyond free speech. Protesters were not cleared away or arrested.
Not at all. I support that signage and chanting. I don't support the left violence and impeding law enforcement. Maybe this is over your meager mind to understand.
Actually it's kind of clever. Most of them are white, priveleged Anglo activists who pretend to be Spanish speakers in order to give the impression that it's some kind of organic protest by Latinos. They need to hide the fact that most Latinos in this country are here legally and are strongly opposed to illegal immigration. The protesters also are hoping some of them get swept up by ICE by mistake.
They are, but they're also sophisticated and clever enough to make prosecution of what is a difficult-to-prosecute case almost impossible. Evidence of any meetings or coordination between the various groups, and the identities of the actual conspirators are carefully hidden.
So, once again, in an area with millions of Citizens only a few dozen 'activists' show up - and yet the news wants to say that the CBP operations are unsuccessful because few illegals are grabbed.
Folks, you have 20m+ that came over the past few years that are being actively helped by other illegals from previous Dem open border reigns.
It's like the bouncers are now working for the rowdys and drunks, and when the cops show up fight with them instead of helping evict the unwelcome customer.
In many states, if you pass a speed trap and then flash your headlights to oncoming drivers alerting them to the trap up ahead, you are breaking the law. So how come honking horns and blowing whistles to alert criminals to the presence of law enforcement is not also a crime?
There are no state laws on the books that prohibit a motorist from flashing their "headlights to oncoming drivers alerting them to the trap up ahead."
And "speed trap" is merely slang and does not refer to an official police operation. It's just a cop hangin' out in a hard-to-see place with a box of donuts at his side.
Unfortunately, you are. As DOGE revealed, Democratic Socialists and community activists are heavily embedded at every level of government finding ways to siphon off taxpayer dollars for their evil, stupid organizations.
All of this energy should be put into getting their work permits etc. things.
I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. There is new construction going in across the street, with definitely foreign born labor, and they don't seem worried,,,, that's because they are DOCUMENTED,,,not 🚀 science.
What a mess; what a clown show. Makes me wonder where the protesters were when obomber was deporting millions. Where they were when obomber was allowing and supporting millions of Americans being kicked out of their houses so the banksters could make more money and even get bonuses. Where were they when "occupy Wall Street" was being shut down. Very selective protesting IMHO.
The video was needlessly long, and somewhat slanted, including the voiceover. Glad to see ICE taking videos of those who are videoing them. Perhaps it should be a crime to publicly show the faces of law enforcement officers performing their duty.
You don’t seem to be supportive of what ICE is trying to do?
I hope more cities adopt New Orleans' attitude. In the sanctuary cities, all I can hope for is that enough fed-up motorists and locals just punch the anti-ICE protesters in the face every time they see them.
If you interfere with the antisemitic protest, you will be arrested not them. The two tier system is firmly in place.
The only solution is keep telling the pollsters you are with the protesters then vote them out! All incumbents that favor one group over all others. All while trying to convince us all that all our problems are either Jews or white people, specifically men.
I really enjoyed the sweatshirt on the woman which said "immigrants are not criminals"....Apparently she is unaware that ICE is rounding up ILLEGAL immigrants. So tired of this bs. Go home and fix your own country instead of coming here, living as you did there, and flying your homeland flag...Go home
This from someone who has spent the past 20 years deeply enmeshed with legal immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe. I watched as people I knew overstayed their visas, got caught in a traffic violation, and got promptly sent back. I watched an associate return to Ukraine to renew his visa and got caught there in the beginning of the war. Fortunately, for him, Ukraine follows the maxim of money talks and bullshit walks as his future American father-in-law paid God knows how much to get him out of there. I dated a legal Honduran immigrant who talked only of returning in Honduras. He should go back now and work on making Honduras better.
Tired of it. It someone wants to come here to become American, come in the front door, leave your former country flag at home, and leave your ethnic biases there as well. In public, work on your English and speak your native language at home. Sorry. I am a stranger in my own country.
From my own country? Surely you jest. I am back and forth between two states. Why should I move? I live in this country. I was born here. If I immigrated to another country, I would choose one in which I felt comfortable and I would speak that language. You must be a limited experience person to say such a simplistic statement. I shouldn't have to move.
Again, this situation is completely the result of the previous administration. Why wasn't a video done of the caravans of thousands of "migrants" streaming through Mexico? It would benn interesting to have seen how the migrants boarded the freight train by the hundreds riding north to later walk into the US.
It is the wrong decisions of the ones who "just wanted to work" here in the US that gets them in trouble with ICE. They have screwed their kids by not considering that it may not work out. I have heard the same refrain of how much they do here, how they build the US, for years. Why are their countries so fucked up that they have to flee? Why didn't they build them up themselves?
I have no sympathy. They wave flags of other countries signaling that they already have a chip on their shoulder, some morons wear the kheffiya and they are violent towards anyone who is not on their team.
The only positive is that the Latin American migrants come from a western (Spanish, christian) cultural background. Europe's mass migration problem is more critical in that they have individuals from non western countries, mostly Islamic. Their migrants cannot adapt to western culture and the data shows that they are over represented in crime statistics for their numbers. The gutless European leaders will not move like Trump. Banning free speech is more important. Wait until it boils over!
On the other hand not all of Biden's great migrant flood are from Latin America, many who slipped in are from points in Asia, Middle East, and Africa.
What we need is a cost/benefit analysis. How much taxpayer money is being spent to locate an ICE facility in a city with all its agents, automobiles along with with state costs of having them accompanied by local and state police? Court time if they become involved in legal challenges. What is the total cost per suspect rounded up? I think the public would be enraged to learn the numbers.
It seems odd that the protesters have the time to take away from their jobs to protest. Not only do they protest in Spanish as Koenig pointed out but they wave the Mexican flag.ICE should release info on how many illegals that they have apprehended are on some sort of government allocated benefits.

While US politicians wave the Israeli flag.
I don't get it.

I tend to agree, ad hominem notwithstanding.
Frank Lee triggered by signage and chanting. Grow a pair, Frank.
Not at all. I support that signage and chanting. I don't support the left violence and impeding law enforcement. Maybe this is over your meager mind to understand.
Ad hominem is bad form and indicates lack of reasoning at least on this topic.
If you protest in Spanish maybe you should just be disqualified on grounds of abject stupidity
Actually it's kind of clever. Most of them are white, priveleged Anglo activists who pretend to be Spanish speakers in order to give the impression that it's some kind of organic protest by Latinos. They need to hide the fact that most Latinos in this country are here legally and are strongly opposed to illegal immigration.

Exactly..
How are the protesters’ activities not conspiracies to obstruct justice?
I.e. , organized crime?
Ergo, RICO?
They are, but they're also sophisticated and clever enough to make prosecution of what is a difficult-to-prosecute case almost impossible. Evidence of any meetings or coordination between the various groups, and the identities of the actual conspirators are carefully hidden.
Good point, thank you.

It's like the bouncers are now working for the rowdys and drunks, and when the cops show up fight with them instead of helping evict the unwelcome customer.
A better analogy might be the rowdies and the drunks working for the bouncers to muscle out the owners.
Roadhouse!

And "speed trap" is merely slang and does not refer to an official police operation. It's just a cop hangin' out in a hard-to-see place with a box of donuts at his side.
A "plead trap" is what you do to avoid going to court or to jail if you flee.
More mostly peaceful protests. When have we seen this before? And who is funding the organizers traveling from city to city?
Unfortunately, you are. As DOGE revealed, Democratic Socialists and community activists are heavily embedded at every level of government finding ways to siphon off taxpayer dollars for their evil, stupid organizations.
Heavy breathing exercises work.
What are you holding with one hand while doin this heavy breathing?
Probably Soros.
All of this energy should be put into getting their work permits etc. things.

Temporarily de-funded and stood down. Obama works for the banksters and the DC establishment.

I did finally, thank goodness, and used A LOT of toilet paper.
Aiding and abetting criminals is a criminal offence in Australia. Does the USA not have such laws?
