TACO. That’s been doing the rounds in the last couple of weeks. He always chickens out. He knows about this hashtag and unsurprisingly hates it.
He’s blinked again though. The government is bringing Abrego Garcia back to the USA. It always seemed unlikely that there was absolutely nothing they could do to bring him back, especially since they were paying El Salvador for his incarceration.
He will now stand trial on two criminal charges, as announced by Bondi herself. To no great surprise, the government’s case has already fallen to pieces. All they’ll have left is to blame activist judges for freeing Garcia. It’ll be interesting to see the consequences for this shameful, appalling episode.
It’s kicking off in LA. ICE decided to show their power by going round in paramilitary gear to harass and abduct people. They’ve moved on from plain clothes and unmarked cars, they’ll show everybody who’s boss.
This aggravated the locals, who quickly swamped the agents with sheer numbers. ICE escalated the situation they had created by firing tear gas into the crowd. Some officers were chased away in a hail of water bottles and stones. LAPD were called in to deal with the situation.
ICE are furious and are blaming “political rhetoric” for causing the trouble. Sure, but it is their political rhetoric that is responsible for their terrible policy and inhumane actions.
It’s going to be a long, hot summer.
