ICE agents get pushback after arresting restaurant workers in San Diego.

[Swede]

ICE's HSI unit conducted a raid at a popular restaurant in San Diego's South Park neighborhood. About 3 dozen agents, some in full tactical gear, arrested restaurant workers while patrons there and around the area were enjoying dinner. The federal agents didn't expect a resounding rejection by the neighbors and patrons. The community spontaneously protested the ICE agents. ICE discharged three flash-bang grenades to disperse the crowd. The people instead pushed ICE agents out of their community forcing the vehicles to retreat, shouting anti-fascist slogans. This is the way it should be everywhere.

1. Good. Hope that this doesn't backfire.

tRUMP is using these guys/gals as his brownshirts, like hitler did prior to WW2.

[Cirsium]

29. How?

How would it backfire?

[madville]

30. Many possible ways

Someone fires a gun at the agents and they return fire into the protest crowd.

The crowd physically assaults the federal agents either by outnumbering/overwhelming them, throwing objects, etc and multiple people get arrested for felonies as a result. Gives the right a January 6 type event to pin on the left. (Doubt he would pardon them)

[quakerboy]

35. More likely

Ice fires a gun, then uses that to "justify" firing into the crowd.

[Cirsium]

42. Don't resist, then?

Be passive so they don't hurt us, or so we don't look bad in the media? Don't fight back?

[Irish_Dem]

37. If we don't fight back, we are ruled by nazi gestapo thugs.

We live under fascist rule.

We have nothing to lose by fighting back.

2. South Park is a very blue and woke neighborhood.

My son lives there. I’m not surprised they pushed back like they did.

[BigmanPigman]

17. I live close to South Park in Hillcrest

Which is VERY blue. I wear my anti-tRump earrings whenever I go out and I always get tons of compliments on them.

There are 2 NO KINGS protests in downtown San Diego at Waterfront Park and the Civic Center. I have the feeling that there will be a lot more people protesting after this shit show!

[maveric]

26. I'm planning on attending.

There’s a trolley station right by my house. I’ll be there.

[haele]

31. A very family oriented, walkable neighborhood, also.

Very few businesses around there are corporate. It's almost a throwback to the 1960's. With more diversity.

Sure, there's homeless in the canyons, but the neighborhood is comfortable and safe.

3. America's gestapo needs to be made to fear for their lives.

[SunSeeker]

10. They did. They asked for San Diego PD assistance but left before the PD showed up.

The San Diego Police Department told NBC 7 that ICE and Homeland Security Investigations requested the department's assistance for "urgent cover."

"They left before our arrival," SDPD Lt. Daniel Meyer said. "We were not involved in the incident."

20. San Diego PD slooooooooooow walked their assistance? If so, good for SD PD.

[cbabe]

4. FYI ICE switched it up to a white van instead of black suvs.

5. Enjoy a flashbang grenade lobbed by paramilitary thugs as you relax with a cold beer

in Republican Dystopia!

6. After a few more months of this ICE shit, the term "Nazi" will become obsolete, it will be replaced by "MAGA."

Years from now historians will refer to them as "neo-magas."

[S/V Loner]

16. As far as I am concerned Maga has been my name for...

our version of Nazi's for quite a while now.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. There are citizen patrols in San Diego. . .

. . .in certain neighborhoods working to monitor and report ICE activity.

Very interesting read, IMO:

[1WorldHope]

8. Oh Hell Yeah!

I wish they were met with that resistance everywhere, everyday, forever and ever. Amen. 🙌🏼. 🐎.

[dchill]

9. "This is the way it should be everywhere."

It just might.

[orangecrush]

11. It's a good start

[NH Ethylene]

12. These people would not be there working if they were not needed!

I live in a tourist area that relies on foreign seasonal help, as there are not enough local people for all the jobs. My son spent 3 months training a Hispanic cook for the deli he manages and she was excellent. She went to Boston for the weekend and got nabbed by ICE and he was out of a decent cook just as the season was starting.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. They might as well be in White...

...and called Storm Troopers!



Led by Donald Palpatine or Don Sidious?

[COL Mustard]

43. Led by Don Taco!

Don Taco the Chicken Hearted!!!

[flashman13]

14. Resistance! Everytime ICE starts a raid a flash mob needs to show up and drive them away.

Even the real Nazis backed down when faced with unified popular resistance.

[Martin Eden]

15. Those restaurant workers were dangerous criminals?

I suspect not.

[angrychair]

18. At some point, somewhere

This is going to go sideways fast when these (frozen water) guys are going to bite of more than they can chew.

[AZLD4Candidate]

19. violence against immigrants. violence against citizens. All law enforcement knows apparently.

when will we stand up with the same vigor against them that they have in their war on us?

[moonshinegnomie]

21. this should happen anytime ICE shows up

[Magoo48]

27. Yes, everywhere.

Communities must setup watches, as well as quick communications to those wishing to participate. Big Respect to all those who took part.

[canetoad]

23. Three dozen?

That's thirty-fucking-six agents. trumps private mercenary army.

[bdamomma]

32. Jan 6th

Insurrectionists????? Perhaps they could be.

[canetoad]

33. Quite possibly.

Violent rioters, paid off the books by musk?

[bdamomma]

34. That could be true

too. But remember "the little green men" during the protests of George Floyd???? Didn't they say they were Correction officers??? They had no ID's displayed.

[ShazzieB]

24. GOOD!!!!!

With all the fascist nightmare crap they've been pulling, they deserve ALL THE PUSHBACK!!!!

[Butterflylady]

28. I agree........

[Jack Valentino]

36. Before they arrest anybody, I want to see THEIR proof of US citizenship!!!!!

Chances are they don't have it on them,
most of us don't carry it around with us either...........


a driver's license doesn't cut it, amigos.....

38. Video; NPR: "An immigration raid at a San Diego restaurant leads to a chaotic scene"

An immigration raid at a San Diego restaurant leads to a chaotic scene

A chaotic scene from a federal immigration raid on a popular San Diego restaurant is drawing new attention to government tactics in the push to fulfill President Trump's promise to deport millions in a historic crackdown.

Video shared on social media and local news [video below] shows armed and masked agents in full tactical gear swarming the area near a popular Italian restaurant called Buona Forchetta late Friday afternoon.

[...]

A special agent with the Department of Homeland Security told NPR member station KPBS that officials were "executing a criminal search warrant" during a workplace raid.

Some witnesses in news reports say agents at first handcuffed the entire restaurant crew as they asked for identification. Several workers were ultimately detained, though witness accounts differ on how many.

45. The day after, people came in solidarity with the restaurant workers en masse

Show these abject convicted felon's gestapo assholes they are NOT WELCOME ANYWHERE

[OldBaldy1701E]

39. I was sitting in my house when I read this, and I stood and applauded.

I looked like someone celebrating a goal at a sports event.

THIS is what is needed. Solid resistance. The ability to remove that which is dangerous to your community by simply overwhelming the danger. Those thugs probably thought there would be a few people yelling at them. What they got was a unified group that did not allow them to continue breaking the laws of this country. They acted towards a danger.

Even when that danger is the current administration.

[BigmanPigman]

40. Same here.

I didn't stand though, I just applauded a lot. I'm so proud of the resisters in our blue city. I bet the NO KINGS protests on June 14th in downtown San Diego will be even bigger now. ICE pissed residents off and this is what we are supposed to do to confront them.

41. Lawsuits for false arrest, flash bang injuries, lost business income, etc. please.

[azureblue]

44. until ICE shows ID and a badge

they should be seen as kidnappers, and detained for criminal abduction. You don't know who they are, if they can't prove who they are.. For all we know, they could be white nationalists kidnapping people to kill them.
