Abandoned ice cream carts, fruit, and taco stands. Trucks with broken windows left in the middle of the streets. It’s the new reality ICE has brought to our beautiful city. This taco stand appears to have been hit last night, 6/27 in South LA by Florence and Gramercy.
What this admin is doing it inhuman and inhumane, unnecessarily cruel to accomplish the stated goals, and going to cost a ton. This mass deportation is going to destroy the US economy.
These ICE raids are hurting businesses even more than the pandemic.
Newly-arrived people working hard to get their piece of the American Dream, trying to grow a small business to provide for their families and the state comes and smashes it up...I don't recall that being part of the Ellis Island story.

How is disappearing people in any way shape or form, patriotic? Or by doing this, even solve their fears? Because you know once they go down this path, the next group to disappear will be easier. And to those standing by, horrified, but using this as a political opportunity...you are on the list too
My heart is hurting.......
Omg. This is so sad. This is almost unbearable.
This is highly depressing.
It's like walking into the house of a dead person. It hits you in waves what was lost.
These pigs must pay
The Rapture.
omg, this breaks my heart. 💔
This is so sad.
Masked gang members kidnapping people while impersonating Federal agents so local Law enforcement do not do anything Might as well be ICE
Ice is Fully Demonic. This place served Tacos. Ice Serves Satan.
It's already horrific and unconscionable that these ICE animals are disappearing people, but having people like these make my food and laughing with them last night just made my amazing night that much more happy and fulfilling. Vermin ICE are literally stealing joy from us. They deserve... hell.
I believe you're hitting the point exactly. You break the joy, the culture, the community. Fascists know you have to break the spirit to break the group.
psychological terror...
It a terrible thing to see! I’m in the Valley and knowing what’s happening throughout our city is so disturbing! Stay safe
This is Kristallnacht all over again.
*Salsanacht But...yes. And its heartbreaking
That it is. It's heartbreaking
Who will Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Division hand out food safety handling violations to?
This brought me to tears. Someone invested so much of their time and money and energy in that business.
Fuck.
Fucking thugs
So was this vendor a CRIMINAL or just a person trying to make an honest living ???
Not. Criminals.
Wishing ICE agents everywhere a very Get Cancer
Isn't people allowed to have guns and defend fron masked people that try to kidnap them? A bullet is faster and a good comunity backing their version, selfdefense!
Or quicker: a PE that travels quickly and immediately takes them out.
Think of the pets as well. They leave them behind. 😡
Like the rapture, but fascist!
Do we know if there are any trusted groups that can collect these items and get them safely returned to families? This equipment isn't cheap.
California should secede after this, legally or not. Let them go. Nobody needs a federal government that does this.
We need security detail for our guys
😢
This is so eerily similar to descriptions of Nazi Germany -- shoe shops and groceries where the owners suddenly disappeared and their stores were left abandoned with no explanation.
Fuck ICE🔫
This makes me so sad. The hardest working people of L.A. are being persecuted and sent to detention camps by the most putrid administration in US history.
This is so horrifying.
This is one of the saddest events at this moment in American history! The chaos & cruelty keep adding up everywhere! Trumps is not a politician or a president! He is a man so broken, so cruel, so inhumane that his humanity is gone! He's so bent on wanting everyone to bow down to his will! 🥶be gone!😡
So now we have two groups who don't want to work for different reasons. Those who ACTUALLY want to work, prevent by fear. And those who get paid by trump with our tax dollars to terrorize so they can cosplay and avoid real jobs, real work
💔💔💔💔💔
Does anyone know whose it is? Can it be secured for them so they don’t lose absolutely everything?
Absolutely shameful.
This angers me so much
ICE out of LA. Shame these masked thugs.
ABOLISH ICE.
I was reading this article and thought about Los Angeles. How can these two extremes be real? How can Latinos face such drastically different treatment in the same country?
This is so sad. I wish celebrities, athletes, influencers would do a benefit concert or some event to help these folks. Have an “Adopt a street vendor day” where they volunteer to run the stands and donate the proceeds to the vendors. May sound silly, but I’m just trying to think of ways to help.
It's about time to start guarding our neighbors' food stands and taco trucks with assault rifles. Fuck these nazis.
ICE hit the food truck at Von's market in Highland Park. They took everybody. Left the truck wide open, the food and equipment and some money. I helped a Telemundo reporter load some of their stuff back in the truck. This feels like war.
It IS war and genetic cleansing. Despicable!
It is war.
It is absolutely war.
When I read ‘This feels like a war’, it felt like the truth deep in the marrow of my bones. It is, in fact, a war. What else can we accurately call it?
It's a type of modern civil war, perhaps. I have been wondering what it would look like in the US, and this might be it.
It is war. It looks like the bullshit US army did in Iraq
What a shame. This is just so completely unnecessary & unacceptable.
Those are bounty hunters not real ICE. You need to start calling them what they are.
Fuck this
Heartbreaking - absolute bastards
JFC. This is Unbelievable. Pointless & cruel.
I wonder if this is what it was like after the Nazis rounded up the Jews and many of the neighborhood stores stood closed or with broken windows.
Pretty sure it WAS like this.
Watch Monuments Men. Yes. It was like this. And this is that.
Bet it was the same. And later in other countries the nazi allies took over the shops as in US the businesses of the Japanese origin owners were. It’s the same story every time a wanna be kingie gets a bit of power.
You bet it was.
I’m praying for these people. God bless them. I hope they are safe and okay. These are our friends, our neighbors, our fellow Angelenos. We are one. ❤️🩹

Coulda had taco trucks on every corner, instead the GOP voted to never have tacos again. Enjoy your bland, boring assed lives, Republicans.
🥺 this sucks
This is evocative of a natural disaster — an earthquake, a plague. London, bombed in the Blitz, & houses with one wall peeled off, exposing domestic interiors left mid-daily life. And somehow, that comparison helps me get my mind around the absolute blanket destruction being wrought here.
It’s haunting. Like what Anne Frank’s quarters must have looked like after they came for them
It’s heartbreaking. It’s shameful. It is ruining lives and it could very well contribute to the crashing of the strongest economy in the world.
That’s what they want. They hate blue California and are actively working to destroy our economy while wreaking the most harm on the (brown) people they hate. This is Miller’s filthy fascist wet dream right here.
😡😡😡😡😡 He is evil incarnate. He must not believe in hell, but if there is one, he’s going.
Did you see the recent stats on deportations per State, in a NYT article? They have deported a lot of people from both Texas and Florida, but I have not heard of violence being used like in CA. So no violence in Red States…WTF?

Thank you friend for the gift
📌
every single taqueria has provided more value to the world than the entire "Department of Homeland Security"
Tom Homan is a bitch
He’s a POS
Estoy de acuerdo. As is every single pulquería. mexico1840.com/en-la-pulque...
This is horrific and a disruption of entire communities & economies.
#disappeared #AbolishICE
It’s the rapture …..
Amidst the sadness and anger; history must be recorded in words, photographs, songs, art, customs. The Royal Chicano Underground Air Force needs regeneration. And unite with other communities… we are still here…
This is so freaking sad.
The Republican Party is evil personified.
Bastards all.
All the democrat mayors and legislators (padilla aside) and certainly our dipshit governor aren’t exactly doing much to stop it. Maybe the problem is America
Absolutely. When folks see a video like this and think “Republicans are bad” when Harris was saying she would deport more people than Trump did his first term…I don’t know what to tell them other than they are 100% missing the point.
I hope someone was able to secure it and contact relatives of the owner. It is tragic in so many ways.
Yes, even if by some miracle they are released, they will get no compensation and will have to start again from scratch, unless someone can secure the tools of their livelihood for them.
Some one's life was invested in that business, the American Dream, now destroyed by EVIL LIARS & the deceived people who voted them in.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
human trafficking in reverse.
I hope someone was nice enough to pick it all up so it wouldn’t get stolen!
They’re doing all of this in the run up to the 2030 Census.
Well I'm gonna be Hispanic next time around, that's for sure.
💔💔
Don't just stand there! Fight back! These guys have the right idea! Take the fight to them! No unnecessary escalation but meeting violence with violence.
Feels like this is the literal embodiment of that meme fight where they are "saving us" from taco trucks on the corner. It's so fucked up.
This is ethnic cleansing
It didn't take long for the US to morph from the oft claimed 'land of the free' to a police state. Perhaps it is time that the Bellamy salute made a comeback.
What happens to the assets of these people being kidnapped? What happens to children when mothers and fathers are taken without notice? I'm glad much of this is now being recorded. It will eventually become evidence.
Probably the same thing that happened to Japanese assets during WWII white people”bought” them for Pennies on the dollar🤬
This is a question which will become more and more relevant as the abduction nets widen. Will civil forfeiture become a factor in the equation? History is rife with examples of people who become undesirable at a rate proportional to how desirable their assets are to the powers that be.
I want to trial every one of these bastards and especially Noem and Homan.
Parent's don't show up- school, home, job, etc. Children born here are officially US citizens. "They're ripping families apart" is not an overstatement by dissenters. Also, ICE is not new - evidence already exists. It's a legal nightmare in a system that's already broke.
Our system does it to American citizens too. We're s sick and twisted nation.
No it has not done this to anyone since ww2 We've never seen Era., or immigrants, kidnapped out of their job sites in our lives before 45 era. Sometimes it isn't about us We have troubles but it isn't a competition
Consider yourself lucky if you've not been a victim of our system ripping families apart with zero legitimate justification. Also why does everything need to be a competition (according to those like yourself). We can point to other injustices in our broken society without detracting from others.
I'm going to be more blunt When you say "it happens to citizens too" you sound racist af There is no systematic programme that mirrors this ethnic cleansing of brown people from our cities There was the Japanese internment in the 1940s And there was the Indian wars after the Civil War
You're so hyper focused on one thing that you fail to see the broader underlying problem. And suddenly those pointing to those broader problems and don't join your hyper focus, even as they agree about that problem, become an enemy of yours.
Hmm or you might be a racist Idk But let's drop it
Uh huh. You might want to check where your other fingers are pointing.
Yes it has. There was Operation Wetback, there was the KKK, there was the War on Terror. America needs to split apart.
keep in mind. the evangelicals who pack the pews in certain megachurches (who have accredited “educational” institutions attached to them) with a strong calvinist leaning are well-pleased by this sight.
you really hope there is a hell they'll all end up in don't you. And a Jesus to tell them they're going there and why.
Also keep in mind the evangelicals make a point of “seeding”churches in immigrant communities, the better to brainwash them. Including the ones who have the right to vote & voted for this.
