Federal immigration officers, some on horseback and in armored vehicles, descended on MacArthur Park in Los Angeles this morning as part of what ICE called a “large–scale federal immigration enforcement operation” in a statement to CBS News. ICE also said that CBP led the operation.
Sickening
Those brave ICE officers saving us from those ferocious summer camp kids.
Hey California, are you sick of propping up MAGA moron welfare states? If yes:
Asinine.
Flexing federal power on US soil really allies with the traditional republican stance of smaller national government with less involvement in state affairs right? The party of cognitive dissonance.😵💫
Much ado about nothing.
Curious how many of these ICE agents posing as Confederates know their history about the Civil War and which side lost. Union soldiers had double the number of recruits as Confederates and were consistently outgunned and outmanned. No one likes a facist: they cower at the first sign of trouble.
It's nowhere near the border. As are a lot of the great lakes states. Illinois does not share a border with Canada and isn't within a hundred miles of Illinois is nowhere near the boarder.
Someone left the ICE out in the rain.
Nice reference.
I'm guessing Elon has Epstein receipts. #losangeles #distraction
Elon has to have them- it's the only thing that keeps Trump from canceling contracts- empty threats about deporting Musk are all he can do They'll both talk a big game
I think Elon has much worse than that on trump.
you could well be right but Maga was so focused on Epstein- sure that the Dems were the only pedos. They aren't really concerned with covert traitors or financial deals straight out in the open
MacArthur Park, known port of entry 🤔 They’re all DHS. And they’re all full of shit.
Now that ICE has a budget equal to most nations military spending we're going to see more of Trump's private army flexing their muscles in US cities. Very scary.
Wow. ICE wasting no time spending all that new money. I wonder how many school lunches could have been provided to young children for the cost of this bs?
Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don’t know if I can take it cuz it took so long to bake it. Oh no.
The YAHOO element is loving this.
Simon and Garfunkle should rewrite their song. MacArthur Park is too dangerous to visit avoid going though it’s exquisite. The ice man cometh and our rights goeth.
Real clown hours.
Is this Fallujah?

Until the Mayor and LAPD showed up and they left
JACKBOOT NAZIS.
Understand Trump wants all Blue states to riot so he can cease control its the final chapter in his journey. Putin demands it and while he has public calls with Putin he has many more on a secure room. The public calls are just for delay tactics for time. Give it 3 months RIP US Democracy
Intimidation on display.
Ice should be the only thing melting in MacArthur Park.
dangerous, ridiculous theater - may they all be shunned
Who's making book on how many times a week their wives, girlfriends and children have had the shit kicked out of them?

It’s “ICE” masked cowards that I want identified.
American gestapo agents kitted out for war against its own population Shameful and disgusting Trumps Amerika 😠
@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov
A civil war has started. Not sure how far it goes before everyone realizes that
I think marshal law is going to be implemented soon if this keeps up.
It already is. They don’t need to announce it.
They have deployed the military in LA for a month now. Martial Law is already here
Nay. True martial law is/will be much much worse.
And I don't think LA is going to accept it. No matter how many people the feds kill.
Feds are going to kill people? Why would they unless they were being threatened?
MAGA sealion
The feds don't have nearly enough people for national martial law, even in the major cities.
But our military does ...
No they don't
They really don't. Not even close. We are a giant ass country with a military that is a tiny fraction of our population. Street level martial law enforcement takes lots of bodies.
They surely don't.
Thank you, Wired, for being one of the only outlets to cover the fascistic takeover of America
All the shit magats have been scared shitless of for years from the evil dems they're now doing.
“Papers!!”
They are looking for a fight. Don’t give in. Bunch of fascists.
Bill is working through California legislature now: Call your State Reps and @governor.ca.gov ’ office: Send a letter in parallel: @resist.bot makes it easy: resist.bot/petitions/PG...
So, they were just doing a trial run for the real thing, right? Just seeing how it would go, how people would react, how much they can get away with.
So were they looking for the cake that someone left out in the rain? I mean, this stunt is just as pointless and nonsensical.
At least we know where the FEMA money is going to.
Fuckin lunatics are carrying AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
They’re a joke
Someone left the cake out in the rain... NOW YOU'LL NEVER HAVE THAT RECIPE AGAIN - OH NO!
The mayor showed up and kicked them out.
It was a Mango photo op.
Ice personnel are pussies that were bullied in school and thinks their pretty little outfits gives them power. Unbeknownst to them they are still pussies.
These are the bullies. Not the victims.
AKA "large-scale federal theater," designed to incite a riot. But Angelenos aren't playin'.
Why aren't they in Texas doing something helpful? Fucking bullshit.
Still looking for that cake?
Good!
Impotent Cosplaying Extremists
“Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wrote on X. “The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.”
Really? Hardly more outrageous than what the LAPD has been doing.
CBS News reports that “a small protest began to gather as the officers exited the park.” Should this incident spark larger protests, Customs and Border Protection could fly Predator drones over LA as they did during protests last month.

They look ridiculous.
Authoritarians all over the world love invading places against their will to "save" them.
Looks like zero arrested and 100 or more officers on scene. Did anyone ask them how many people they arrested?
Yeah def looked like none
I’m it’s almost like they want to show off our tax dollars and how they are using them….
Gestapo getting out of their tanks in armored gear, nothing to see here citizens. Fuck this time line and fuck these fascist pieces of shit
our own government trying to instogate a civil war
I wonder how much waste, fraud, and abuse happened for this media stunt.
#fascism
Look at the browncoats with their faces covered. They don’t want their faces in the history books like Nazis.
Help those that help us all. www.givesendgo.com/supportdfwpr... These people have been arrested upon trumped up charges when all they did was oppose ICE.
More of that waste, fraud, and abuse Trump promised.
Republicans LOVE to squander taxpayer money. What was the point of this hugely expensive show of force? There was no threat.
So basically SWEEPS!!!
Don't they need permits for parades? Exactly who gave the commands for this bullshit!
The government of the United States is waging war against its own people.
This was a dog and pony show for FOX News.
Immigration FACTS: Obama’s - highest cumulative removals at about 5.3 million. Biden - 4.6 million removals through FY 2024. Trump’s 1st term 2.1 million deportations Trump’s 2025 projecting under 1 million deportations for the full fiscal year. Biden & Obama - didn't Kidnap & terrorize people
I haven't been on here for a few days and I just popped on and Bluesky let me kniw they finally added the notification bell. I just rang your 🔔 pun intended. I couldn't resist 💀😆
Freakish and illegal.
You should mention that there was not a large scale enforcement operation.
Good use of Federal police, those Canadian Geese have overstayed their visas.
I was born in a hospital close to MacArthur Park. They are polluting the place where I came from!
I used to go there to study when I was in college.
Good Samaritan Hospital?
Me? I was born at Scripps but went to college in L.A.
