Although I have since moved away, I am a California native. California stands for a lot of the things I believe in, in part I'm sure due to my upbringing there.
It is truly interesting but not surprising to see California now leading in the resistance against the abuses of the Trump administration, including the anti-immigrant raids of ICE against the people of CA. California, as well as in the whole United States, is made up of mostly immigrants, with a few true natives (Indigenous Americans). It is truly hypocritical to target and deport immigrants, because Trump's own wife is an immigrant, his mother was an immigrant, and Elon Musk is an immigrant. Furthermore, the idea the Trump is ONLY trying to rid the US of criminal immigrants is false. Trump is trying to rid the country of ALL immigrants of color, while bringing in new white immigrants...it's happening right in front of us. The Trump admin is also targeting "blue" states in these ICE raids.
Most recently this weekend, the protests in Los Angeles against ICE not only prompted the Trump administration to deploy the National Guard (against protocol...CA is supposed to request National Guard, not the Federal Government), but has also put the US Marines on alert to stand against the people of LA. As one Threads user commented, "This is really bad." Live Stream the current situation in Los Angeles on YouTube:
