ICE operations are just law and order operations

A dude, waving a Mexican flag, bestride a burning Waymo
vehicle, at the current riots in LA. Skulls on his jeans. Gang?

From LA, Riotland: We get the playing out of the Dem-Dem Shuffle Dance all over again. Here's its latest version: 

No, there's no violence in LA! It's just peaceful protests!
Well, there may be some isolated incidents, but it's Mainly Peaceful!
Well, there may be widespread violence, but it's just "youthful exuberance" (Nancy Pelosi)
Well, there may be widespread violence, but it's GOOD!
It's GOOD, because it's all Trump's fault. Because he came into these peaceful communities, with his ICE stormtroopers, to raid perfectly fine families and rip their children from their mothers' embrace. 
All together, now: It's Trump, Trump, Trump! Orange Man Bad!
Oooooh, aaaaaah, that feels soooo gooood! 

There's two stories out there. How do we know with is right? It's easy. I'll tell you how. 

First the two stories: 

1.  The Dems. Trump and his henchmen, bullies and gang leaders all, Nazis, authoritarians, are being so cruel, so heartless, so unfeeling, to poor migrants. Sure some are undocumented, some maybe even have done wrong things, but they don't deserve such heartless cruelty as to be rounded up and sent home. 
On Tic Tok, on Instagram, all over the social media, there's the whining, weeping and g-g-g-g gnashing of teeth at the horror of this Trumpian administration. 
Main Dems have taken to the socials. Maxine Waters, Gavin Newsom. LA Mayor Karen Bass, AOC, Nancy Pelosi, have all trumpeted how these ICE operations are "illegal", "unfair", "cruel", and so on. 

The one thing about all of these objections: They're based on EMOTION

2.  The Reps. Trump and his team. They say that they're after immigrants who are not just "Undocumented", but who have also committed crimes. They have Warrents for the arrest of the people they're going in to arrest. The crimes committed range from drug running, child endangerment, sexual assault of minors, human trafficking, to murder in the first of second degree. Not Jaywalking, IOW. 

The one thing about all of this reasoning: it's based on FACT

How do we know which is the FACT? Because we have people on the Dems side providing the facts, who are Members of the Court, who are obliged to tell the truth, on pain of perjury, and subsequent punishment of disbarment and possible jail time. This is a real and present incentive for the members of the Court -- people like lawyers and DAs -- to tell the truth. For if they don't they're out of a job and in for jail time. 

By contrast, all the people in the first story above, ALL of them, are not at all subject to this. They can say what they like. We know that Tik Tockers can say what they like. But so can Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom. And so can Nancy Pelosi and  AOC. They can, and do, say absolutely what they like. In Gavin and Bass's case, they tell outright lies. That we who follow the issues know are lies, but which the general public simply swallows. 

When you have one side incentivised to tell the truth and the other side incentivised to tell lies, which one you gonna believe?

Me, call me naive if you will, me, I'm going to go with the people incentivised to tell the truth, as being the ones that most likely to tell the truth. 

The truth here is that the ICE agents are going after criminals, who happen to also be illegally in the country. Dems don't like it. You don’t get to decide which laws you’ll follow and which you don’t. 

And it seems that the majority of the US population understands the truth too. For by all the recent polls Trump is winning the majority of Americans on this issue. Including a majority of Immigrants, who don't at all like the fact that others have come in after them, have done so illegally, and get to the front of queues on housing and welfare. 

Here endeth the Lesson. 
======================

Porkie Pie of the LA Riots: goes to Nancy Pelosi. Who said that she was "disturbed" that Trump had called out the National Guard in LA, when he had "refused to do so on Jan 6, 2020, despite my pleas to do so". That is the opposite of the truth. 
We know from multiple sources that it was Pelosi that blocked the National Guard in 2020, against Trump's requests. We know this from sources, but also from her own, recorded, admission that she'd not allowed them to go the the Capitol. Amazing. But she can say what she said, and for the majority of the folks watching her on MSNBC, they will just accept this gross lie, as the truth and thing, yet again, "What a horrid man that Trump is"....
