The LA Times has a big sad over this. They do not care about the groups that are funding the riots and all the gear delivered in LA, though

Death threats, vandalism, investigations: L.A. immigrant rights groups in the fight of their lives

“No firmes nada,” a union organizer shouted into a bullhorn as he stood atop the flatbed of a truck outside Ambience Apparel, doling out battlefield legal advice not to sign anything. “You have a right to a lawyer. You are not alone.”

Advocates and lawyers had arrived at the downtown store minutes after tips began to pop off at the hotline set up by the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, a coalition of 300 volunteers and 23 labor unions and immigrant rights and social justice groups that was organized last year to respond to enforcement.

Although she had never seen any sweeps like it in scale and aggression, she said advocates were prepared. “It’s a very well-organized community. That’s why coming into L.A. is so important for this Trump administration, because what they want to do is they want to break us.”

You might be over-estimating what Trump thinks of y’all.

Two Republican Congress members announced Wednesday that they would lead committee investigations of 200 nongovernmental organizations, including CHIRLA, “that were involved in providing services or support to inadmissible aliens during the Biden-Harris administration’s historic border crisis.” And Josh Hawley, a Missouri senator who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, threatened an investigation solely into CHIRLA, saying that it was “bankrolling” civil unrest.

And well they should, as should all the others. Let’s see what was happening with the money. How much that was allocated from the government ended up in the pockets of the people working for the NGOs, and how much went to aid. Anyhow, it’s a long, long piece, meant to tug on the heart strings, but, failing to deal with what the law says.

As far as death threats

Salas said her office has received death threats. Two weeks ago, vandals threw bricks through the front office window, smashing a few items inside. Workers have reported threatening calls.

“It’s always been hard, and it’s always been, what I would say, controversial,” she said. “But this is at a different level.”

And we know the vandals were anti-illegal alien supporters in Los Angeles how, exactly? Did they offer any proof of the death threats? Did the LA Time reporters as for any? Were the death threats reported to law enforcement? Because the story doesn’t say.

The newest fear — one she never would have thought possible in the past — was that the federal government would start prosecuting them for simply doing their jobs and trying to uphold the right to due process.

On Friday federal officials arrested Huerta, the president of Service Employees International Union California, on suspicion of interfering with federal officers. The union is part of the rapid response network. The U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, Bill Essayli, seemed to suggest on Sunday that other union officials and organizers would be investigated.

Well, don’t get in the middle of riots. Does anyone think ICE had any idea who Huerta was? No, they didn’t. He was just another chump interfering with federal law enforcement.

In Los Angeles County, 1 in 3 residents were born elsewhere and 1 in 4 children live in families with mixed legal statuses.

“These are people who you know were working, who had kids in school, and who were just ripped out of our communities. And I think that it feels like a real attack on our city,” Salas said. “They’re testing California. They’re testing our city.”

That’s on them. The law is the law. No one complains when a parent or parents are taken from their kids and put in jail for breaking the law. And it is a big failure on the part of government for failing to stop all these illegals.
