First, here is what Mayor Bass said about the raids in L.A.: “These reckless, unlawful raids are fueled by racial profiling that has driven fear in communities, tearing families apart, crushing entire sectors of the economy because people are afraid to go to work and flying in the face of American democratic values.”
That is the absolute truth. How many white people are caught up in the raids? How many undocumented Irish in Boston have been picked up? How many Russians? This whole raid business is pure racism.
Tricia McLaughlin, an ICE spokeswoman, will now give you the line of bullshit: “The intensity and pace will continue until we get the terrorists, gang members, murderers, rapists and child abusers off Los Angeles streets.”
If they are looking for rapists and child abusers, maybe they should be going after the people mentioned in the Epstein report rather than the guys picking lettuce and hanging drywall.
The quotes from Mayor Bass and the ICE spokeswoman are from Hamed Aleaziz and Orlando Mayorquin, “Arrests of Immigrants Spike in Sweep of Los Angeles Area,” New York Times, (July 12, 2025), p. A 17.
