Donald Trump manufactured a crises while peaceful Los Angeles anti ICE demonstrations continue

Listen to the voices from the people who are observing the Los Angeles anti-ICE demonstrations.

Echo opinion letters published in the Los Angeles Times:

#LosAngelesSTRONG❗💪

Support for border enforcement doesn’t justify extreme or harmful policies. Many voters expected a more thoughtful, humane approach, not one that detains families or rushes deportations without considering individual circumstances. These methods don’t reflect the values of fairness and dignity most Americans still believe in.

People say that tough enforcement is about following the law, but without compassion, the law does more harm than intended. Enforcing immigration policies should involve smart case-by-case judgment and not punishment for everyone. A better approach would balance safety with empathy and recognize that real solutions come from true understanding, not fear.

Peaceful Anti-ICE protesters rally in downtown LA against Trump immigration crackdown

To the editor: It is important to remember that the same Donald Trump who sent the National Guard to Los Angeles because the administration “has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence” is the same Donald Trump who incited the insurrection on January 6, 2021, declined to take steps to stop the attack on our Capitol or protect members of Congress and, as soon as he took office in 2025, granted sweeping pardons or commutations to everyone (more than 1,500 people) indicted or sentenced for the attack. Approximately 140 law enforcement officers were injured with more than $2.7 million in damage to the Capitol.

Right wing Republicans that support the National Rifle Association are morally corrupt!

Letter to the Editor: It’s time to stand up to the National Rifle Association: The U.S. Republican Party is morally corrupt.

Echo opinion published in the Daily Journal in California:

Dear Editor:  At one time it was a proud political party that believed in honest government, conservatism, support and a strong education system of our children. It was a country that loved our children, and promoted the safety and education of our children.

No More. So....what happened❓ Tragically, the former guy Donald Trump is what happened❗😟

Trumpzi took over the right wing Republican party with an lies, corruption, insurrection and attack on our democracy. There is not much more you can say about how this ultra-(Fake!) rich man is destroying our country day by day, lie by lie. His hatred of people who do not look like him is disgusting.

Did we ever have a ruling government that promoted war on our young children by accepting huge sums of money from the NRA to openly promote and sell weapons of war to the mentally sick so the mentally sick could attack grade schools and kill hundreds of our

Enough is Enough! Stop gun violence now!

This is not “rocket science.” This is common sense. This is love 💝for our families. This is 💖love for our children!

Wake up Republicans! The next time you vote, you must vote for your children first. Not some poor soul who has millions of dollars in wealth and is begging for you to pay his bills❗

Pray for those Republicans who are brave enough to rise to the challenge to vote and vote intelligently.

Pray for our country’s democracy, for the safety of our children, please, please pray for our children to go to school safe and return home safe, every day.
