The symbolism of the gratuitous exhibition of the border patrol was not lost in the leadership of the Japanese American National Museum where the event took place.

We recently saw flash of fascism of Trump administration across the country absorption Washington, Colombia District, Police Department and its deployment of the National Guard for permanent arrests and removing law -abiding immigrants with court dates to Federal Square New Yorkto raids at home depot and car wash in the Los -Angeles. However on Thursday there was a gratuitous screening Federal Muscle at the event in Los -Angeles It had nothing to do with crime and immigration: the press conference of California Governor Gavin News and other government officials announced plans to rethink their state and create more democratic places in Congress when Texas Goop is planning the opposite.
Dozens of masking and armed border agents appeared at a press conference at the Japanese National Museum at a small Tokyo. The head of the regional border patrol Ryhor Bavin said his crew makes “Los -Andgeles safer because we do not have politicians who can do it. We do it.” Some of his people smashed rifles.
“They decided that they were going to come and the nose’s finger in the face of the governor,” Mayor Los -Andgeles Karen bass told reporters. “It’s incredibly disrespectful. This is a provocative act.”
NEWSOM, which Trump trump in social media, immediately imitating its funny, universal Braggadocio Posted through his press service on X: “Border patrol appeared on our big beautiful press conference! We will not intimidate!”
Stuffed with senators Alex Paid And Adam Schiff, Newsom also mocked Trump during his rethinking remarks. “Who else sends ice (B) when we are talking?” said Newsom. “Someone is weak. Someone is broken. Someone whose weakness is disguised as force.”
The symbolism of the persecution of the border patrol was not lost on the chairman of the William Fujiok Museum. The museum is located on the site where Japanese Americans who lived in the Los -Andgeles “ordered to come here and put the buses and go to the camp,” he said, calling the “parallel of what happened in 1942”.
While the Democrats at the national level evaluate the bold maneuver of Newsom – New York Katiel, Illinois JB Pritzker and Maryland Wes Moore expressed interest in such steps – his rethinking of the initiative he called “the electoral law”. It is underwater with all voters, especially with independent, after Newsom and other Democrats spent years, pressing the independent two -party commission to attract Congress borders, a system imposed in 2010. The governor insists that he should fight “fire with fire”, and if the state is GoP on plans to join more places, California, which transforms the current system.
On Tuesday, hundreds of angeleras wearing union T -shirts, protested against the application of ice In the Macrtur Park. The participants of the rally said that even legal immigrants were afraid to leave their homes and reduce business for local shopkeepers. “It’s a hunt for people,” said a 40 -year -old resident who has lost work in the field of ice raids. He describes “Panic” in the “thought of detention and separation from my family.” However, he still went out to protest.
Current Issue
On Thursday, only one man was detained by a border patrol near a press conference: an worker named the angel delivered a strawberry to a small Tokyo building. (Dozens of border patrol agents, one detainee. Great work, Chief Bovin!) Kaler Carlos Franco came to check the angel and found him taken away, his van still parked outside the museum. He advised people “to be careful at all, regardless of whether you did not document or not.”
In addition, on Thursday, an SUV was killed by a man when they fled with an immigration raid to the Monrovia home depot, south of Los -Andgeles. Way to make our cities safer, Mr. President.
NEWSOM, which is widely considered a contender for 2028, have removed some progressives At the beginning of Trump, when he conducted wing, such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Benan, he suggested that the Democrats would have to compromise on transgender rights, and called the seizure Kilmar Abreg Garcia “distraction” from the problems with the Democrats. But Trump’s attack on Los -Angeles and his immigration population returned Newsom her spine.
It is unclear whether he has political attention to wary voters to support his preferred cards, but he certainly caught their attention.
At this point, the crisis we need the only, progressive opposition to Donald Trump.
We begin to see how we start to develop on the streets and ballots all over the country: from the Candide company in Mary’s New York Mammani, focused on accessibility, community that protect their neighbors from ice, to senators who oppose weapons.
The Democratic Party has an urgent choice: will it accept a policy that is fundamental and popular, or will continue to insist on the loss of elections with the elites and consultants who brought us here?
