#Trump can keep #NationalGuard deployed to #LosAngeles for now, appeals court rules
US appeals court late Thurs allowed Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard #troops in #LA amid #protests over aggressive #immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court's ruling blocking the mobilization.
The #9thCircuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean the court will ultimately agree w/Trump, but it means he will maintain command of the guard for now.

Another amazing thing that we're already seeing as a result of the LA protests, in addition to actual policy wins like in Glendale and the sheer importance of resistance, is how much they are radicalizing ordinary people.
I'm speaking to and hearing from so many people who aren't activists and aren't used to protesting, but who are appalled, outraged at what they're seeing.

dear people of #california #losangeles
as a german
i want to personally thank you for what you are doing today.
words cannot express the historic significance of your #protest.
today a line has been drawn. they will read about you in the history books.
LA Native moment:
The #LosAngeles protests are not occurring in some random spot in DTLA. The protesters are specifically choosing to occupy the legendary Olvera corridor, with Los Angeles, Main and Alameda. These intersections are the birthplace of Los Angeles as a city, where 22 Latino families and 24 diaspora descendants/Afro-Latino families joined to establish El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Ángeles in 1781.
They’re also directly across the freeway from the federal building.
#Trump is currently [live now] repeating #ConspiracyTheories from the Oval Office
about the protesters in #LosAngeles, saying they are “paid” by #Democrats. Total #disinformation.

A lawyer in #LosAngeles who has been providing assistance to some of the people detained in the #immigration sweeps last week said Tues that at least 2 of the people who were detained had ALREADY been deported.
Atty Yliana Johansen Méndez said at a news conference that her firm had been contacted by the families of 2 detainees, & the families said their relatives had been sent to Tijuana, Mexico, within HOURS after they were arrested.

Did you know it’s not just two journalists who’ve been shot while covering the LA anti-ICE protests?
It’s many more. They appear to be targeting the press. Trying to silence them. Dissuade them from reporting on what is one of the most important issues America is facing.
Does the country want to submit to a fascist authoritarian?
Or do they want to fight back?
LA has chosen to fight back. And journalists are showing up to cover it. As they should.
Adam Rose is keeping a running tally on a thread on Bluesky. Highly recommend checking it out.
here’s some of the injured:
Ryanne Mena, shot with pepper balls
Sean Becker-Carmitchel, hit multiple times
Anthony Cabassa hit in face with chemical munition
Ryanne and Sean were hit again the next day, with a tear gas cannister
No name has been given but reports of someone from KTLA being hit with less lethal ammo and going to urgent care
Lauren Tomasi hit with less lethal ammo
Nick Stern shot with less lethal ammo and requires emergency surgery
These people were clearly identifying themselves as members of the press
They were there to do their jobs
And at least in the case of Lauren Tomasi, there’s video evidence which appears to show an officer taking clear aim and firing directly at her
Say their names.
Speak up.
The public need to know the risks the press are taking just to attempt to bring truth to the masses.
The Regime have been attempting to silence, sue and throttle the press since day one.
We shouldn’t tolerate any direct attacks on them.

If you believe what you see on social media, the entirety of Los Angeles is overwhelmed by violence. In fact, the protests have been largely peaceful and small — and much of the false information has been fueled by misleading videos and false claims. @CBSNews breaks down the misinformation that's circulating, from a video game clip purporting to be news footage to conspiracy theories about George Soros supplying protesters with bricks.

How long will it be before the 🤡 sends the goons into every sports league in the US to detain,deport and revoke the visas of all the international players?
Per NBC 4 in LA,the goons are rumored to be at major sporting events in the area this weekend. Dodger Stadium being one of them. It's just north of the downtown LA curfew zone.
This may be the first step for him to suspend sports indefinitely. Stay tuned.

Police have arrested a man for handing out face shields to protesters in LA (I’ve also seen reports that he may have been distributing masks)
Why is this a crime? Why is providing PPE to people who are being hit with chemical munitions and rubber bullets an offence?
This is bleak.
Once again this ties back to disability rights.
If more people would help normalize masks; they wouldn’t have such an easy time vilifying them
Ironically these protests are going to lead to more disability, at least in part because police are making it impossible for people to protect themselves.

When The #Military Comes To American Soil
By Joshua Braver
#Domestic deployment of active-duty US military, as is now taking place in #LosAngeles, is both rare & perilous. Not since the 1992 riots in that same city has the country seen such a use of the armed services. But that was a one-off. The more relevant, & worrying, parallel may be the period from 1957 to the end of 1968, when military forces actively patrolled US soil on 8 separate occasions.

#LA #Dodgers denied #ICE agents access to #DodgerStadium parking lot
The #LosAngeles Dodgers on Thurs said they had denied ICE agents access to the parking lot at Dodger Stadium earlier in the day.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium & requested permission to access the parking lots," the team said in a social media post.
"They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled."
