Important to note that their purview is something like 200 miles from any border, and that includes the coasts. It's the administration's method of slowly moving the coup through the blue states and installing martial law.

harveytent

Also includes international airports I believe so they can run wild if given the money to do so which they just were.

So anywhere within 100-200 miles of any ocean/border or airport would be basically do whatever ice wants zones where they can set up roadblocks and whatever they want. That’s basically all reasonably populated places in the country since most major places will have an airport within 100 miles. The airports really allow them unreal power.

They used selective footage of a very, very, very small minority and broad cast that ad nauseum to make red state idiots hundreds of miles away green light this litmus test for fascism. There are 9,000 LAPD officers. But you somehow think adding national guard troops and marines was necessary? Even if it was a riot (totally fucking wasn’t) how would you believe this was our first rodeo? Or that it was somehow over and above the watts riots, the kings riots etc?

Although California can not control ICE they can affect them with laws. They could pass a law that requires federal workers to show clear ID and not cover their faces. They could make uniform requirements. California needs to get moving on fighting ICE or yes this is the new normal. Tie ICE up with a million regulations if they want to operate in California. Make a law that detained people must be transported in clearly marked vehicles, make it so all ICE used vehicles must be clearly marked, take away their masks, don’t let them use secret detention centers.

California has the money to fight back but can they come together and agree on this stuff and pass it quickly is questionable.
