Los Angeles turned out to be a nightmare for the feds

So they have moved on to Orange County. They are rousting people at the Home Depots and guys riding bicycle and so on. It's low hanging fruit mostly people minding their own fucking business in OC trying to just get by somehow.
There was an utterly peaceful gathering I'd call it at the federal building in Santa Ana today. The peacefulness was rewarded with huge clouds of CS gas and riot cops when it was time for a cop shift change and they wanted to go home to the wife and kids. They had to clear the way for dozens of ice SUVs to leave from some bunker.
This is the future. "We didn't vote for this" oh bullshit.

and the much trumpeted by Trump ILLEGAL DRUGS.... da da da da DUNNNNNN

ICE has a daily quota and can rack up numbers fast and easy kidnapping peaceful working people and kids at school. Those bad 'hoods really are where any criminals would be. Funny how ICE never goes where there might be well armed drug traffickers.

3. I read that more people were deported under Biden than under Trump.

Also, the people deported by Biden really were criminals. Trump and his people are incompetent. I'm sure they are allowing criminals to roam around while they deport ordinary law-abiding people our economy depends upon.

Everything Trump said about Biden was the opposite of the truth and the media amplified it. They didn't refute Trump's lies.
