People are now being punished just for existing in this tyranny

BY ANY measure, what is unfolding in Los Angeles is not immigration enforcement, it is authoritarian rule.
Donald Trump, emboldened by his loyal goons, has turned one of the most diverse cities in America into ground zero for a political crackdown disguised as policy.
Over the weekend, the US president ordered 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles County.
The reason? Two days of protest against a brutal wave of immigration raids in recent weeks.
Protesters demanded dignity, compassion and due process. They have been met with rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades and the threat of martial law.
Trump was blunt. Any demonstration that hinders his enforcement would now be considered a form of rebellion.
