I often think about how, in mass (and even social) media, stories told about Los Angeles rarely come from Angelenos. They are typically filtered through a personality or correspondent from elsewhere who, we are told, knows best.

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”
Advocates say the Trump administration’s goal is clear: make the pre-deportation process so punitive that targets give up and leave voluntarily. The administration and its allies see the detention policy as a corrective to decades of catch-and-release policies www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Trump’s new detention policy targets millions of immigrants. Judges keep saying it’s illegal.
The administration says the sweeping detentions are a key prong of Trump’s deportation strategy.

🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

those circumstances include:
that there is an
extremely high number and percentage of illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles area; that those individuals tend to gather in certain locations to seek daily work; that those individuals often work in certain kinds of jobs, such as day labor, landscaping, agriculture, and construction, that do not require paperwork and are therefore especially attractive to illegal immigrants; and that many of those illegally in the Los Angeles area come from Mexico or Central America and do not speak much English. Cf.
Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S., at 884-885 (listing "[a]ny number of factors" that contribute to reasonable suspicion of illegal presence).

I voted for the measure to endorse Prop 50 and I think it ultimately comes down to a political difference in outlook. For me, fighting fascism, even if that could technically help Democrats, and solidifying DSA as a leader in the anti-fascist coalition rather than just a spectator, is most important
not to be a sectarian but certain caucuses opposing Cali DSA supporting reciprocal gerrymandering are really proving yet again they are not serious about power
