Summary
Thousands protested in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against a surge in ICE raids under President Trump’s administration.
Demonstrators marched from Olvera Street to City Hall before blocking lanes on the 101 Freeway, leading to major traffic disruptions.
The California Department of Transportation confirmed freeway closures, while LAPD reported gridlock across key streets.
Trump has intensified deportations since taking office, prompting widespread demonstrations in major cities. Authorities have yet to confirm arrests or further enforcement actions.
Hell yes.
FFS, don’t Los Angelenos have enough going on right now?
Yeah - like everything ICE is doing on top of their recent fires
Glad to see people in solidarity here pushing back
You’d be complaining about Rosa Parks and the peaceful sit ins in the 1950s-60s, wouldn’t you
What the fuck are you on about? My meaning was that ICE should leave these people alone because they have enough to deal with right now.
Idk, i thought it was really clear and i was confused by the downvotes.
Your comment does not make that obvious. Interpreted as is, it sounds like you’re complaining about the protesters.
You probably only think so because you already saw it downvoted and got on the downvote brigade.
Regardless, you misinterpreted.
When somebody says that someone “has enough going on” that means that you should leave them be because they have enough going on, don’t make it worse. It really should have been pretty clear. It’s a common expression.
This is an article about protests to ICE raids, not the raids themselves. Therefore your comment appears to be reacting to the protests unless you provide clarification.
I honestly read it both ways. I was confused and looked at your further comments for clarity but people before me didn’t have that luxury. What is a Los Angelenos? To a progressive it means anyone residing in the city limits (or once did), to a right-wing definition it would be the registered approved-citizens (blah blah).
This article also centers around the premise of the protests, so by saying “they don’t need this right now”, it seems you’re demeaning the protests and not the ICE actions which have been on-going. It’s apparent after reading more, but your first comment wasn’t a clear, concise, and easily communicated premise or else you wouldn’t see all of the confusion obviously
- Title: Protest in LA
- You: Don’t they have enough going on?
See how it looked? Maybe you should work on your communication.
Looks like a lot of people have difficulty figuring out that this comment is directed at ICE leaving citizens alone and think you meant the people doing the protesting.
Man leftists are so bad at infighting
Will you say this when ICE starts deporting firefighters?
What? Yes. Stop deporting people and let them live their lives.
Everyone seems really confused here
It’s like in some authoritarian regimes, where there is a protest against some ‘little’ issue.
I mean, calls for Trump impeachment/decent rule of law and democracy seem more effective, isn’t it?
