Dispatch from LA: Emergency Protest Against Illegal ICE Raid at Home Depot

Trump’s gestapo “roving” raids have ramped up again in LA in defiance of multiple court battles. THIS IS FASCISM! There can be no business as usual when that business is cementing fascist rule!

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security carried out Operation “Trojan Horse” at the Home Depot on Wilshire blvd, where fascist federal agents jumped out of a PENSKE truck and proceeded to arrest 16 people!

An emergency protest was called and people in LA mobilized Friday evening and marched from Home Depot, through downtown and ended at the detention center demanding:

TRUMP MUST GO NOW!
SHUT DOWN ICE! NO MILITARY OCCUPATION!
SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE TRUMP FASCIST REGIME!

The following is from the @refusefascism call to act “Blow the Whistle on ICE”

“Millions hate this regime, yet too many are learning to accommodate and accept Trump’s fascist rule as legitimate and inevitable. This air of conciliation must be broken. The emergency is now.

“Imagine truly massive numbers of people walking out of work and school, refusing to follow fascist orders, nonviolently overwhelming ICE’s ability to violate people’s rights and lives, defying censorship, and flooding the streets with our righteous fury and love for humanity.

“Creating such a profound political crisis that the regime cannot carry out their fascist program; cannot govern the country; and cannot hold onto power.”

Join us in acting, in the name of humanity, demanding TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
