Exactly. According to reporting the labor board asked ice to come. So someone without civic duty (in my humble opinion) and no sense of community called it in. Not zesty.

That's right sports fans, he's arresting someone who wants to save your house from burning for a goddamn misdemeanor. To troll is the goal and up your ass. Nihilist

Arresting people who are fighting a fire: Intelligence is not a mandatory requirement for a job at ICE. You can only hope that there will be a fire with these guys. And there's no one there to put it out.

During a wildfire, crews from other countries come to help local teams to fight fires. Think of all the foreign crews that came to LA during that horrendous fire. Now you’ll have foreign teams questioning if it’s worth risking their lives to help a unwelcoming country pulling bullshit like this.

They’re slowly making their way down the list of people they hate. Once they finish with Latino people, they’ll move on to another group. My guess is homosexuals are next. Then women… Or it might be African Americans… No one knows who will win the “Fascist Dictator Hate Lottery” next. Fuck Trump.
