ICE and Border Patrol, with military assistance, swept MacArthur Park in LA today. They left after Mayor Bass spoke with them. And were escorted out under a barrage of fruit/etc. being thrown at them.  https://bsky.app/profile/melbuer.bsky.social/post/3ltfdbfmzhs2b

MacArthur Park is a heavily-immigrant community area.   https://www.newsweek.com/ice-raids-la-protests-military-immigration-deportations-2095641

and https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/us/la-macarthur-park-immigration.html?smtyp=cur&smid=bsky-nytimes

[Note, the park was almost empty when this display took place. Some kids playing football/soccer at a kiddie summer camp was pretty much it, I'm told. Looks like possibly a big photo op for the feds. Crowds began to gather when word got out.]

They previously attempted to do the same to Haitians and Venezuelans, but judges later ruled that could not happen.

Saw this coming a mile away...."Agriculture secretary says there will be ‘no amnesty’ for migrants, adults on Medicaid can replace them in workforce"
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/agriculture-secretary-says-there-will-be-no-amnesty-for-migrants-adults-on-medicaid-can-replace-them-in-workforce/ar-AA1IdayI

Assuming they live near an agricultural area. And are physically able to do the work. This is pretty close to forced labor, really. Of course, something like 92% of adults on Medicaid are already working or otherwise engaged -   https://www.gih.org/philanthropy-work/featured/data-show-that-the-majority-of-adult-medicaid-enrollees-are-working/
