The American Kristallnacht

June 6, 2025, ICE and other Federal law enforcement officers engaged in immigration enforcement operations.

They encountered protests and demonstrations opposed to their operations.

According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt , The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.

The Department of Homeland Security said "Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property," according to DHS. "Our ICE enforcement officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them."  "In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California."

I find it amazing that based upon the statements of the government making declarations of purported violence, assaults, and overwhelming numerical superiority of "rioters" and "looters" I have not come upon any reports of injury or death among law enforcement engaged in the "normal" immigration enforcement actions.

The White House released a statement, "These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States."

I assume this invasion is the reason the current administration and legislature has developed and is debating a comprehensive immigration policy. Oh, wait, that's not a thing yet, but no doubt it will be offered "very soon" and be the "best ever".

While ICE raids places of employment, schools, immigration courts and other locations where undocumented workers are engaged in other than criminal activity, I have yet to hear of any hiring managers being arrested and arraigned. This regime is engrossed in political theater and will not be distracted by the rule of law.

Citizen, immigrant, refugee, foreign national, permanent resident, they are ALL our fellow members of humanity. Manifold claims have been made the U.S. is a Christian nation. I understand that without Jesus, there is no Christianity. That being the case, let me refer you to him and his stance on foreigners. Matthew 25:35-40 35 "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?"40 And the King will answer them, "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." 

Are there criminals among the undocumented immigrant population? Of course there are. Those currently empowered to form and execute the policies and laws of the nation would have you believe criminals from other countries are overwhelming our cities and states. They do not want you to have the facts that immigrants have a lower rate of criminal activity than citizens.

The goal here is to promote fear. A fearful populace is a more easily controlled and manipulated populace. They are more easily convinced to allow their "leaders" to amass and exercise power and authority over the "other". They fail to realize this power will also be exercised upon them.

The current regime has dehumanized undocumented immigrants for years. "... Many of those people will probably have AIDS, and they’re coming into our country. And we don’t do anything about it, we let everybody come in. ... It’s like a death wish for our country.”  "...they’re not humans, they’re not humans. They’re animals.’” “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.” All of these are an effort to convince us to unite to protect ourselves from the threat of the "other". It is propaganda. However, my favorite is, “I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country.” A fellow named Adolf Hitler used the same terms in a book, Mein Kampf.

This is ALL a ploy to promote authoritarianism and permit the complete exercise of power by the executive. According to this regime, laws are not to serve and protect you but are merely unreasonable constraints upon the power of the President.

Protests and demonstrations are not protected activities. You may not assemble if your views are counter to those presented by Trump and his ilk. Seeking redress is only to be characterized as politicizing the legal system and therefore invalid.

The President of the United States is federalizing the National Guard of the state of California to repress citizens exercising their constitutional rights.  We will learn that due process is a burden upon the current administration to be ignored for immigrants AND citizens.

How many of you have entertained the thought you would have resisted the Nazis in the 1930's? Well, the 2030's are almost here, so, prove it.

Whaduyathink?
