Other mayors and governors have been arrested for violating the law. Democrats went after an ex-president for nothingburgers
The Trump administration’s “border czar” warned that immigration enforcement will continue “every day” in Los Angeles, hinting that even elected officials could face arrest if they interfere with agents on the ground.
Tom Homan appeared undeterred by the volatile protests against federal agents in Los Angeles who were carrying out immigration raids. Enforcement will be daily, he said late Saturday in an interview.
Is “volatile” the new word for “mostly peaceful”?
“I’m telling you what, we’re going to keep enforcing law every day in L.A.,” Homan said. “Every day in L.A., we’re going to enforce immigration law. I don’t care if they like it or not.”
Homan has previously threatened arrest for anyone who obstructs immigration enforcement. When asked whether that would include Newsom or Bass, Homan did not rule it out.
“I’ll say it about anybody,” Homan said. “You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”
He did not accuse any politician of impeding enforcement, and when asked about Bass specifically, he said that he doesn’t believe “she’s crossed the line yet.” A spokesperson for Bass did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Well, it’s not really much, and he was baited. But, if either step out of line, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Trump DOJ files charges. Maybe a good perp walk for the cameras.
“The rhetoric keeps rising and rising and rising — someone’s gonna get hurt,” Homan said. “If this violence isn’t tamped down, someone’s gonna die, and that’s just that’s just a cold fact of life.”
Volatile.
Of course they “could” be charged
But
Convicted in a LA federal court?
Not likely
And there are civil penalties for false arrests with damages decided by an LA jury.
When the mostly peaceful Jam 6y tourists hospitalized 125 law enforcement officers Trump said he did not have the power to call out national guard, only Pelosi did.
How did that change?
And why/when did you end using “los Federales”?
This is exactly what Big Donnie wanted.
He wants violence on TV – he NEEDS violence on TV. It’s why he commanded Los Federales into LA.
We all know that Congress needed to pass immigration reform, and ultra-conservative Senator James Lankford (R-OK) proposed a border bill that Big Donnie vehemently opposed. The last thing Donnie needed before the election was a conservative border bill!! The last thing Republican Senators needed was Big Donnie and fElon Big Pockets financing their political end.
Big Donnie sent tough-talking Homan and ICE into LA, “very strongly”, hoping to cause a row. Going after violent offenders is hard work. Arresting long-time residents in stores and parks is easy. Big Donnie sent in the National Guard to LA faster than he sent them to help hurricane, wildfire and tornado victims.
It’s all part of his plan. He’s more clever by half than his cult members!!

No, we don’t “all know that.” What sensible people know is that we already have immigration laws, and that they need to be enforced!
President Trump campaigned on kicking all of the illegals out, and the American people chose to elect him again. What we all knew is what Mr Trump promised, we all knew that before last November 5th, and most of us knew that he had opposed the immigration ‘reform’ bill that the dummkopf from Delaware and crackpot from California wanted, and the voters still chose miracle worker from Mar-a-Lago.
Most of us (probably) never guessed that he would pursue his goal of deporting all of the illegals so aggressively, but it is certainly what many of us hoped would happen.

After being neglected for months by the “Big Guy” and his designated successor, while FEMA and the other federal agencies neglected western Carolina following Hurricane Helene, “Big Donnie” and our most attractive First Lady made the trek to Carolina just a few days after the inauguration, and all of a sudden the bureaucracy parted and the aid began to flow.
Why not arrest the wealthy white owners and CEOs of these companies illegally hiring undocumented workers?
For once our commenter from St Louis County has written something with which I can agree.
Please name a few. I’m interested and knowing exactly which white people you hate the most.
I remember how elated the Democrats were when Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling that the city of Hazleton could not enforce ordinances to keep illegals out, saying that federal government had exclusive authority on immigration. Now, the left want to interfere with the federal government enforcing federal laws on immigration. I wonder why that is?
What good would that do? Half the country wants Chaos. They’ll make this loser Newsom a hero like George Floyd. They’ll still get their government checks. Let it burn. Let Democrat cities burn to the ground. Deport illegal alien invaders from REAL America, shut off all federal money from the communist cities & let them pay for the illegals.
