Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt President Trump has inflamed tensions over immigration raids in Los Angeles, which his top adviser Stephen Miller described as an insurrection. "They want protesters to react violently to distract from what is really happening, which is that families are being separated, our communities are being devastated, and the people of Los Angeles are standing up to say, 'We will not stand for this,'" says Jean Guerrero, "New York Times" contributing opinion writer and author of "Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda."

10 years ago, my cousin and I went to California and on our first trip into LA, we inadvertently got seperated. It was not the LAPD who helped me find and be reunited with my cousin. It was a group of latinos that I intruded on having a family barbeque in a park on Alvaredo Blvd. Not realizing it was a family event, I started walking through the park showing people pictures of my cousin and asking if they had seen her around. Not only.did they insist on feeding me, they disrupted their entire event to share their greater familiarity of the neighborhood to help me find her. That was my first experience with the latino community in Los Angeles during my 10 years in Caifornia, and far rom the last time they treated me like family in spite of me being just another white kid from a hick town on upstate New York. To me, the situation goong on in LA now is very personal!

Please let the immigrants work and survive. Focus troops on the small percentage of drug dealers. This is a created crisis going on right now.

I was in Portland area when the George Floyd protests broke out. I went down to Pioneer Square in Portland on a mid-night. I saw: graffitti spray painted on the Federal buildings. Stiore front windows were boarded up. Thgere were a lot of young people milling around in the center of the square, a few were giving out cheers. All quiet. Rump sent in badge-less men in black and arrested a couple when they were walking away. A try-out for the Schutzstaffel to come?
