Our friend was just kidnapped off the street by LA Sheriff Department.

Other friend called me from the location, panicked.

Headed there now. Will try to keep folks updated.

Jesus Christ. It didn’t have to be like this! #LosAngeles

1. Is there any further context for this?

What happened? Where did this happen? I mean exactly. LA is a pretty big place.

4. I Just Found It Posted On Bluesky...

I posted it here to give the kidnapping further visibility especially since I know there are DU members living in LA.

2. Well, if it was a deputy that took him off the street

his whereabouts are probably a given.

3. According to Google AI...

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) does not participate in federal immigration enforcement, states it does not enforce civil immigration laws, and does not inquire about immigration status during public interactions. The LASD's official position is that it is focused on enforcing state and local laws to ensure public safety for all residents, regardless of their legal status. This stance is in line with Los Angeles City's designation as a sanctuary city, which aims to ensure residents can call for help from law enforcement without fear of deportation.

Perhaps the sheriff needs to be unelected.

5. Or perhaps the person has a warrant? nt
