There is no sanctuary for LA from Trump's lawless actions

There are several important things to keep in mind in relation to Donald Trump and Los Angeles. First of all, Los Angeles is what is called a sanctuary city” as is my hometown of Chicago and my second hometown, New York City.

These are cities that do not conduct immigration raids, nor do they conform to the latest missive from Immigration, Customs and Enforcement. Second is that Trump detests LA, just as he does NYC and Chicago. These are bastions not only of the Democratic Party, but also of those who detest the Republican Party, and especially its latest iteration under Donald J Trump.

For a man who has been on American TV for decades in one incarnation or another, and who possesses that level of narcissism, to be loathed by the country’s major cities and media outlets is a low blow. And remember: coming down that escalator during his first campaign for Potus. he called immigrants “by and large rapists” – that is those capable of rape. We can assume that everyone is an aider and abettor.

He, and especially his special adviser, Stephen Miller, believe that immigrants – especially from what used to be called “The Third World” – are less than human. Miller’s anti-immigrant stance must make his own Yiddish-speaking ancestor turn in her grave and Trump’s Bavarian roots shake a bit.
