ICE politicized



In LA, while Newsom gave talk,
ICE agents showed up on the walk.
With timing so tight,
It gave quite a fright—
Coincidence? Newsom said, “Mock!”

While Newsom gave speeches with flair,
ICE swarmed like they just happened there.
"Just timing," they said—
As they cuffed folks in dread—
Guess justice and optics don’t pair.

In Little Tokyo, bold as can be,
Feds staged their own live jamboree.
While Newsom cried maps,
ICE tightened their traps—
Redistricting plus deportee!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
