Bass: We finally have some good news. We got a great decision from the court—a temporary restraining order. I think this showed that if we fight back peacefully, if we use the means our democracy provides, and in this instance, the courts—we get a proper decision.
The courts won’t stop them. They won’t follow the constitution. They don’t care about warrants. You must have a plan for when they thumb their noses at the law.
"Despite evidence to the contrary, here's another pointless court order captain cheeto pants won't follow with an inappropriate perma grin on my face like this is funny and a fucking game"
LMFAOOOO
Who’s enforcing this order, it’s supposed to be the president, who’s going to tell the president if he doesn’t heed scotus the UCMJ says it’s top military leader shall intervene. If he doesn’t react. ..,,,, all hells going to break lose, if our enemies don’t jump, we’ll implode on ourselves.🤷♂️
And then Dear Leader will go to his Supreme Cult and they'll do their fascist thing.
Aren’t the courts authorized to deputized bailiffs for enforcement? I thought I read that somewhere.
Ah, but WHOSE court?
Yay, we have a decision. A "ruling" if you will... Now, enforce it....
Hope it holds I don’t have faith though.
Democratic politician's obsession with "peacefully" resisting violent nazis is just more of the same defeatist nonsense that got us here. "When they go low, we go high!"
Peacefully. Again, may I remind you that your own LAPD brutalized peaceful protestors? They cornered one just walking on an off street & tried to kill him with a horse. They don't understand peaceful & your officers are dirty.
That was in South Carolina, the horse incident. Was there another one again in LA???
I thought it was LAPD. Thank you for the correction.
AMEN! 🙌
They don’t abide by court orders.
We need more than a temporary restraining order which SCOTUS will find a way to stop. We need to do more than wait for the torture and violence to be done and stopped by the courts. It needs to stop before it gets to the courts.
How are you planning on enforcing @mayor.lacity.gov?!?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have the LAPD arrest these thugs. It’s seems you’re stopping short of saying that. If you charge them with kidnapping you’ll force the issue and we’ll all get some answers about who these thugs are. You could help fight this nationwide. I only hope the LAPD is up to the task and you have the courage
Nice, but is anyone going to enforce the restraining order?
Why did she allow LAPD to act in the same manner? Masked, snatch and grab and firing tear gas etc on citizens?
YES, YES, YES!!!!!
Any doubt in your mind that there’s a regime controlling this country go to the ice website where it proudly brags that three out of four of those arrested R illegal criminals terrorizing our country. That’s the opposite of the truth. Propaganda tautologically spread. www.ice.gov/news/release...
I couldn’t go to that site. I’ve a flag here and have been permanently banned from TT for the things I say to Naziswines who support this nonsense.
That may mean 3 out of 4 broke the law getting into the US, but 1 out 4 they arrest are here legally. That 25% are just dumped on the street miles from their car and home.
It is not illegal to immigrate. IT IS NOT A CRIME TO IMMIGRATE It is not a crime to be brown Do not make excuses for fascist behavior
How is ice handling Orange County?
Great, you have your judgement, now let's see you enforce it. Good luck. No dictator has ever been toppled peacefully; you're just going to be the first to catch a bullet when they're given clearance to open fire.
Good luck w SCOTUS, ma'am.
👍🏼
And if they simply ignore the restraining order?
A man has died and many many more are missing. This isn’t over by a long shot.
You need the right folk to enforce it though Bass , the admin is not giving two nickels for the law , they break it every day and don't care at all who it upsets .
Sure. Good. Now someone please enforce it.
We also know Trump wipes his butt with judicial decisions he doesn't like. Why would this time be any different?
Nice thought on her part. Respectful too. However, our judiciary is already under partial control of the president and is no longer an independent branch.
But they will not follow the order What's then?
As a world citizen, we can't believe what you are enduring. We are so sorry.
Delusional.
How to make it permanent?
That sad part. It will last until the Supreme Crazy majority over rules it. That is the problem. But for now, it's good news.
The*
Yes sadly this
It's only good news if the ICE GANG follows the court order
She can’t be that naive.
Someone tell me she's not THAT naive. Trump will ignore the TRO. I'm honestly surprised he even bothers to show up at court hearings anymore, except... Then comes the appeal, which will stay the TRO until they decide (however long that takes). Then there's SCOTUS. And we ALL know how that ends.
This is great, but you know Trump will defy this. We need to make sure LAPD is on our side and not going to blindly enable ICE to continue their kidnappings. If ICE tries to violate this order LAPD needs to be willing to use force to stop them.
Ok what are you doing to do when thay don't do it are you going to stand up to them with ho cops art going to it
⚖️👏💙
Yay, until an Appeals Court or the Supreme Court decide to gift Donald.
Keep up The GOOD fight!!
Yay!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
And the Trump administration will just go back to their whores in the SCOTUS and undo it.
We’ll see. CA needs to prioritize its citizens, especially if the admin & federal gvt are going to tear up the covenant of the Constitution & use is for target practice for the Gestapo gelé.
What happens when they ignore it until it's overturned next week? How many times do we do this while they continue to escalate?
Who enforces the decision if they decide not to abide by court orders?
It was the correct legal decision and I'm glad they won the case, but Bass seems to be implying that this is the end of the fight when it's only just beginning and there's so much more that has to happen
Git real Bass. Free & Fair died in 2024 Cks & Balances died in 2025. U think SCOTUS will uphold this restraining order or will Roberts et al.. Side with FDJT? You and all the Neoliberals wanted ICE walked back all calls to Abolish ICE- now ICE is your worst nightmare. #GeneralStrikeUS 1 MAY 2024
So when they push back and they will…violently, what r u going to do next? This ain’t checkers.
Who's gonna enforce it though? Trump has shown he will and can ignore the courts. LAPD has obviously sided with ICE and against the people of LA. Court orders are just pieces of paper if no one enforces it.
I don’t understand why Bass hasn’t fired the police chief if the department had sided with ICE. Do you know the answer?
From what I've seen t h e police chief has been resistant, no?
I can’t tell. It looks like LAPD participate alongside ICE but I admit I’m not studying things closely. I turn away from this disgusting administration’s actions.
@democrats.org speak with a forked tongue. LAPD under Mayor Bass had to be sued to stop shooting reporters covering the ICE/LAPD violence against immigrants.
👏👏👏👏👏
Demonstrators are peaceful. It’s ice thugs and sheriff who are not peaceful.
Near future SCOTUS: the injunction only applies to the specific people ICE was trying to capture on that day.
California strong—the Republic will be the start of taking back our country!!!!
Well said Mayor Bass!!! 🙌🏾
so far at least for the moment. suspect enforcement is going to be difficult with this lawless criminal regime
If they follow the decision!
They will not, they’ve shown again and again.
Orale Resisters General Strike Aug 12 spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-... #USDemocracy #50501SoCal #GeneralStrike
This is truly wonderful news. However, besides Donald Trump, the true enemy of the people are Supreme Court Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh and Comey-Barrett. ☠️
I believe it when I see it
not really good news if there's no action behind it
❤️
I hope they don't ignore this restraining order just like they ignore all the others.
💥💪🏽💥💪🏽💥💪🏽💥
For now
This is meaningless because the Big 'Beautiful' Bill gives Trump the power to overturn court decisions.
bsky.app/profile/mrro...
"Temporary" is the operative word. Well see👽
A decision does not always translate to action. We can always hope. But I think Trump and his team of corrupt legal advisors actually WANT these decisions so they can accelerate the process of neutering federal judges who rule against them. Not saying we shouldn’t sue.
Will MAGA SCOTUS support their Felon47.
MUST HAVE A WARRANT.
Alright. Another great sound bite. Annnnnd when they don't abide by the courts order??? Then what? Where are the teeth in this court order???
And will our corrupt Supreme Court chop her legs out from underneath her?
And will trolls ever stop showing up with their weaponized disdain and cynical nihilism?
And then eat them for lunch on a yacht given to them by a donor.
I expect they will. I never used to think about this but now I have a real problem with "Supreme" It just reminds me too much of Iran and "Supreme Leader" Can't we call it the Hopelessly Compromised Court?
Is it a diseased SCOTUS or a diseased SCROTUM?
Courts are the only way to fight Facism w/a Facist government! All states & citizens are forced to hire lawyers in a democratic country. For those who can't afford it, they should be entitled to free service. Lawyer up America. That's how the mob boss got in the Whitehouse, to get out of jail free!🤷
I hope that the Governor and Mayor of California are immediately in front of their police and national guard and are now using them to enforce this ruling in favor of law, the residents of California, our Constitution and democracy ‼️The way they should have been used ALL ALONG 👊🏼 🇺🇸🫱🏻🫲🏽
The next step is getting them to actually abide by the decision.
I hope SCOTUS doesn't reverse that court decision like they did before 👏🫡
Congrats Mayor Bass 👏🫶👍
Sue ICE for $178B for torture. Complicity: If an individual actively participates in an act of torture or knowingly assists in its execution, they could face criminal charges related to complicity in torture. Liability for corp execs and employees who direct, facilitate, or aid in acts of torture.
Well said!💙💙💙
If your fight is limited to "the means our democracy provides" and you find that you no longer have a democracy, is that the end of the fight or the end of the limitations?
Thank you Mayor Bass💙💙
California is way past run or hide all the way to fight.
Keeping the peace isn’t working. Look were we are at being diplomatic, talking and using the courts. We have a regime destroying America.
Next up Governor Newsome’s turn
Don't be to sure , Trump, Miller and co are evil and not to be trusted. They will go to aunty length to tighten their grip on power and people !
I bet they just ignore it.
How many have been hurt and disappeared? They are making their quotas while the government. Takes their 9-5 time. Concentration camps are being assembled in days, masked domestic terrorists are kidnapping people now, weeks and months ago. Imagine the abuse, experiments, & torture by those victims.
The regime does not care what the courts say. They will continue with their masked kidnapping and tossing anyone into their concentration camps or prisons in foreign contracted prisons,
Since when does a dictatorship follow court orders?
Let’s hope it holds up. 👍
When has Dumpy EVER obeyed a restraining order let alone a court decision?
I hope and pray the courts will uphold the decision so we return to decency as soon as possible.
Will the order be enforced? How will the police and military respond to a Presidential order that the courts have said no to. And why does ICE need more money than the Marine Corp?
Does this give the LAPD the authority to arrest federal agents when they fail to comply? Because that’s what needs to start happening. If the gov won’t protect the people, the people will, and it is already escalating
We’re transitioning out of simmer and into more heat I’m afraid.
I wish I shared her optimism
This is not a win. The fascists will just ignore it like they ignore the other court orders. Until someone forces them to comply, the courts are useless.
The decisions don’t matter when the administration ignores those decisions or appeals to the highest court in the land and gets a rubber stamp approval.
The decisions show that the federal courts recognize the threats posed by Trump & Co. and structure many opinions accordingly Still to be determined is the ultimate willingness of Trump/MAGA to simply say “[Bove] the federal courts.”
Thank you and please keep doing daily updates - we need information and communication while we go through this emergency. These attacks are as much an emergency as the fires were and there are many rumors and panic. This is the only thing that can actually help in the short term. This is leadership.
That’s great news, but why are these court decisions temporary?
Hope remains.
News flash. The people are going to fight back with whatever means they have. When trust in the courts is gone what else is left.
Lol. Like the fascists give a shit about the courts.
Also..... her own police have been racial profiling since ever since. This is just liberal theater.
But will I.C.E. obey?
Is that the final word though? Can it be appealed? Because the appellate courts and SCOTUS seem to love him.
She is painfully naïve about what it's gonna take to put down the fascist takeover of America
But then republican SCOTUS will be paid enough to vote against this.
can L.A. Police enforce by chasing out ICE?
Dear @mayor.lacity.gov Bass: Let's see if ICE actually follows this TRO. Trump admin has already proven that they will disregard court orders. I say thanks for the ruling but I'm only slightly optimistic that this order will be followed. And if it's not followed, who is holding them accountable...
ICE won't give a flying fuck about any restraining order.
“Restraining order? But we’re already following the order to restrain them!”
I’m getting major “overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy” vibes. Mayor Bass is the Queen waiting for legalities to save her people - meanwhile her kingdom was stolen and the wrong never made right.
Temporary…. Look it up Ma’am.
WHAT CAN SHE DO? Seriously, not being snarky. What should we expect her to do? How does she battle this? Maybe more police on patrol? …can they arrest ice agents? Ice is federal, she is state. Solutions?
@mayor.lacity.gov BASS = “Bad Ass” Keep it up!!
They talk like these goons will follow the judge's temporary order. I don't think they are just going to stop and start doing the right thing... look at their POS leader.
So, quick question, does this mean that the local police will be arresting the violent ICE thugs when they are in the process of breaking the law profiling people and kidnapping them off the streets? OR is this just more political theater?
I believe that's called wishful thinking and the lawful thing to do.
I’m not saying that “fighting back peacefully” is ineffective or that they should stop but I am saying “court decisions” in opposition of someone ho ignores court decisions due to declaring themselves “the law” renders them ineffective. Keep strong, court decisions are meaningless atm.
Good news.
Take it while u can, hon. Fair play is not what they're about.
Court orders that can't be enforced are meaningless words on paper. For once, I would like some judge inform us just how they intend to enforce their order.
Please stay vigilant everyone. I hope ICE isn't ordered to go to suburbs and other cities near L.A. proper.
MORE OF THIS, PLEASE!!!!!
lmao gl;hf
Trump Still Has An Extremist Right Wing Court That Seems To Want To Let Him Destroy This Country....
🤞 I know some of these guys and they always have something else up their sleeves
Let’s see what the 9th Circuit and then the fascist SCOTUS say. I hope they confirm but no guarantee … sadly
That’s why I call her “Karen Baaaadassss”. Not all sheroes wear capes.
would u look at that, a true dei in action (definitely earned it) and actually taking steps to protect her constituents!! more of this
Wonderful. Shall we hold our breath waiting to see whether the court will enforce its ruling when ICE agents are instructed to go on with racial profiling?
Good. I have questions. Do Congress and elected officials have a long term plan of countermeasures figured out yet? What are the next steps to address the water hosing of Constitutional Rights and State Constitutional Rights? What are elected officials doing or planning to do strategically?
#StopICE SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! Rise Up Stronger Together No Kings Every Day #ProtestsEveryday #TownhallsEveryday #HandsOff
But......they're STILL doing it. What exactly did YOU do? Wrote a note and passed it to a judge?
Bull 💩. Fight "peacefully" until it reaches the SC and they give Krasnov whatever he wants. We need to fight with everything we've got, in every state and DC, protests, contacting our elected reps, boycotts, work stoppages, violence if necessary. Depending on the courts to save us is just stupid.
Thank you, Mayor Bass. 💙 We all needed this.
Until I see the nazification of our country coming to a stop I don’t believe shit! Fucking DO something!
This is gaslighting. Violent protestors prompted this decision. Peaceful actions by protestors were good, make no mistake, showed the latent power of the working class. The system is trying to deflate momentum toward open rebellion, Bass delivering gaslighting till the court order is scrapped.
Until it gets to the “Supreme Court.”
This accomplishes nothing because that fat orange idiot does NOT follow or respect the law.
Enforce it, or are you waiting for SOTUS to overturn it? Wouldn't want to inconvenience the feds in needing to redeploy the troops.
Why aren’t they in Texas and Florida?
Poor Bass. She isn’t ready for this moment. She thinks pieces of paper with good words written on them will make things peacefully go back to normal.
If in fact masked thugs without an ID or other official justification roam the streets of LA, grabbing people at random and disappearing them; How is it that the mayor, the LAPD and local law enforcement does not enforce the laws and arrest these thugs?
That's good, so is fighting back peacefully, sadly history shows that it will not work with the Fascists.
Now enforce the order. Arrest ICE if they don't stop.
...until the ruling gets overturned by the Supreme Court.
Wonderful now who's going to enforce it?
bingo. the right question. is she going to order LAPD to protect citizens? and stop ICE?
Exactly!
No one. And they're called scrotus.
This! Is local police going to help enforce? ICE has been told they can ignore the courts.
Local LE and county prosecutors need to be enforcing this.
We the People. If unidentified persons are snatching people from the streets, Stand Your Ground laws apply.
Adorable or naive? How much are they obeying court orders lately?
Yea but…. Are they going to stop?
They have shown time and again that courts ruling against them will not stop them from capturing and exiling innocent people to gulags. This means nothing if you are unwilling to fight back against the states thugs to enforce it.
Great.... who's gonna make 'em follow it? Who's gonna enforce it, the police???
let's check back in to weeks on this before we celebrate.
err, TWO weeks.
Thank you, Mayor Bass and Gov. Newsom!!!!
She's right about doing it peacefully. But we definitely banded together before and got farce. Just need to vote this administration out. Gotta make it happen.
Eventually, unfortunately, and soon, the courts that rule against this regime are going to be restrained, and peaceful fighting back will be ineffectual and irrelevant.
How exactly are you fighting Fox News 24/7 brainwashing operation? You let them play Fox News - disinformation propaganda - on our military bases.
And Trump will call up SCOTUS and get a rushed judgement in his favour to continue all the same shit by Monday!
And if not, he'll just claim there are radical left traitors and send troops.
They gave him immunity he'll laugh in all the judges' faces. Our Scrotum Court sold their souls. Even Barret got reined back in
Speed dial. Corruption at its best!
Scotus is so corrupt now, the weak 6 are no longer judges, they are puppets to a mad man!
The coup plotters knew they needed a stacked court, stacked with subversives to green light a criminal seditious “president” they were thorough.
Well said.
It's so obvious. Corruption at It's finest.
I have to wonder if any SCOTUS justices are on the Epstein list.
They have to be. This level of obvious bad decision making can’t be loyalty to the king. I bet it’s Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas.
Thomas is for sure. There is no doubt in my mind!
I remember hearing of a vast right wing conspiracy years back but then James Comey expressed vast concern about some emails.
All of this because nosferatu miller got rejected by a Latino girl in high school. Don’t ever tell me women are too emotional.
“The immediate next step is the hearing on the preliminary injunction. …given the nature of the case and the federal government's stance, it is highly likely that appeals will follow, potentially leading to a protracted legal battle over the scope of immigration enforcement powers in California”.
I hope it stands. No more ‘Nacht und Nebel‘!
Well as long as the rule of law is involved I’m sure we’re fine.
Majority remain strong and fight against Trump and his Gestapo, save your Human Rights and Humanity
Until it hits The Supreme Court. When that fails, what will we do America? 🤷🏽♂️
It's amazing to me that these leaders STILL believe the SCOTUS will do the right thing. OR that the plump admin will obey the court order.
Fight harder.
bsky.app/profile/gove...
This is all well and good, but you have to hope it’ll be followed.
They don't care. They will do as they please. Right and wrong is gone.
The question now becomes who will fight them. Who will literally fight them. seriously if they ignore the law what else is there. Just watch the police state build. No that cannot be. please lets not let this build. Too many people are living in terror and languishing without due process.
lib bitch and traitor. ICE pulled up at her city and she can only shit on the ppl protesting it.
They’ll just ignore the courts and will continue to do so until they are arrested and put in jail.
That is what my DH said…
And no one on any Substack I read these days offers a solution to this or tells us what they think they’re going to do. I’m tired of all these ppl telling me what is going on when I can easily see just from headlines, what is going on.
Yup. They’ve already done it. Defied Judge Boasberg back in March re: the original 251 humans kidnapped and sent to CECOT.
Trump administration ordered to halt indiscriminate immigration stops in California over racial profiling concerns www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Great. Too bad Noem has already called the judge an "idiot" and openly says they're going to ignore the order.
Not for long.
Good news
Oh, that sweet summer child.
Right??!!!
Quit touting a judicial ruling they don’t care and will not follow period!!
Bruh if Isnotreal ignores orders to stop killing Palestinians, what's going to make Dump stop with ICE Raids?
What about the detainees and those who have been trafficked? They don't have the option of fighting back peacefully, let alone fighting back at all. Although it is just, this legal victory is a small one in a massive war.
It’s a fart in a strong wind, they don’t care one bit about a court order. They show it again and again.
The politicians on one side are completely out of touch with the reality of what the other side has been working on for decades, and how they are currently operating.
Will they respect the court order, find a workaround or just outright defy it?
They’ll fckng ignore it. Like they always do.
Yes. Let’s keep peacefully fighting back. Just like how they’re peacefully throwing human beings in cages. This shit has to stop. Taking the high road is how we got in this mess. It’s time to be petty and take back our government from nazis.
