The Trump administration has sued the City of Los Angeles for discriminating against federal immigration officers.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit Monday against Los Angeles, its mayor Karen Bass, and the Los Angeles City Council for “illegal” sanctuary city policies that it says “deliberately impede federal immigration officers’ ability to carry out their responsibilities.”
Two reasons why the feds will lose this one:
1. Masked Gestapo pigs are not a protected class under the discrimination laws.
2. The Tenth Amendent does not permit the federal government to order the states to do the feds’ bidding.

Residents of Los Angeles are left to clean up the streets after the mayhem caused by the anti-ICE protests that rocked the city. Knewz.com has learned that Los Angeles erupted with protests after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out large-scale raids across the city and surrounding suburbs and reportedly arrested at least 44 undocumented individuals, many of whom were reportedly long-term residents without criminal records.

ICE will “turbocharge” its arrests and deportations of illegal migrants roaming the country when President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is passed, administration officials said Tuesday.
The nearly 900-page megabill — which was approved by the Senate on Tuesday — will allow ICE to hire 10,000 new officers and double its capacity to detain illegal immigrants. It also offers a $10,000 a year bonus for immigration agents, according to the White House.

A City Council committee is demanding more information on how and why Chicago police responded last month to calls for assistance from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as they detained people amid protests in the South Loop.
As a Welcoming City, Chicago’s laws severely limit local law enforcement from assisting in federal immigration actions, but CPD officers performed crowd control and some traffic enforcement at the scene.
After an assessment of the situation, safety officials say, police left the scene.
Background:
On June 4, more than 20 people enrolled in an immigration surveillance program for those seeking legal status responded to texts asking them to show up at a South Loop ICE office for a check-in.
But once they arrived, the individuals were separated from their lawyers and taken away by ICE officers who did not identify themselves nor show their faces.
ICE officials say the officers had final orders of removal for all of the detainees, but ICE has failed to produce any evidence to support those claims.
City Council demands answer on how police work with ICE
Alders want details on why CPD helped during ICE arrests, citing Chicago’s protections for people facing deportation.
The MAGA movement is reveling in the creativity, severity and accelerating force of President Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.
Once-fringe tactics — an alligator-moated detention camp, deportations to war zones, denaturalization of immigrant citizens — are now being proudly embraced at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
It’s an extraordinary shift from Trump’s first term, when nationwide backlash and the appearance of cruelty forced the administration to abandon its family separation policy for unauthorized immigrants.
Six months into his second term — and with tens of billions of dollars in new funding soon flowing to ICE — Trump is only just beginning to scale up his mass deportation machine.
Trump on Tuesday toured a temporary ICE facility in the Florida Everglades dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” where thousands of migrants will be detained in a remote, marshland environment teeming with predators.
MAGA influencers invited on the trip gleefully posted photos of the prison’s cages and souvenir-style “merchandise,” thrilling their followers and horrifying critics.
Pro-Trump activist Laura Loomer drew outrage after tweeting that “alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now” — widely interpreted as a reference to the Hispanic population of the United States.
Citing the millions of unauthorized immigrants who crossed the border under President Biden, Trump and his MAGA allies have framed the second-term crackdown as a long-overdue purge.
The result is an increasingly draconian set of enforcement measures designed to deter, expel and make examples out of unauthorized immigrants.
Some newer members of the MAGA coalition, such as podcaster Joe Rogan, have expressed deep discomfort with the targeting of non-criminal undocumented immigrants.
…
Denaturalization of U.S. citizens — once a legal backwater — is gaining traction as Trump and his MAGA allies push the envelope on nativist rhetoric.
The Justice Department has begun prioritizing stripping naturalized Americans of their citizenship when they’re charged with crimes and “illegally procured or misrepresented facts in the naturalization process.”
But some MAGA influencers are pushing to weaponize denaturalization more broadly — not just as a legal remedy for fraud, but as a tool to punish ideological opponents.

A legal group co-founded by top White House aide Stephen Miller has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, seeking an investigation of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
The America First Legal complaint, filed on Monday, claims that the Dodgers’ DEI policies “appear to discriminate against employees, or prospective employees, solely because of their skin color or sex.” They cite a reference on the team’s DEI page that outlines recruitment efforts, including “sponsoring programs geared toward women and people of color.”
Apparently in retaliation for the Dodgers’ refusal to all ICE access to their parking lot:
The complaint follows an incident on June 19 in which masked agents appeared near one of the Dodgers’s gates to its parking lot. Protesters gathered in the area, and the Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the scene, and the agents left. The Dodgers posted that that morning, “ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization.”
After Dodgers Incident With Federal Agents, Stephen Miller Co-Founded Legal Group Files Employment Complaint Over Team’s DEI Efforts
America First Legal filed the complaint with the EEOC after an incident last month where ICE agents were denied entry into Dodger Stadium.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that she is suing the city of Los Angeles, claiming that it’s discriminating against ICE agents.
Fox News is reporting that President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice has found a way to go after L.A.’s sanctuary city policy by alleging that it treats federal immigration officers differently from other law enforcement, reported national correspondent Bill Melugin.
Since when are violent masked pigs a protected class under our discrimination laws?
Also the Tenth Amendment is very clear: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The states do not exist to do the federal government’s bidding.
Pam Bondi sues Los Angeles alleging discrimination against ICE agents
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance wants an immediate and full congressional investigation into the latest death of a detainee in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration.
The detainee, a 75-year-old Cuban national named Isidro Perez, was reported to Congress by ICE officials, with news on the incident saying that “the death appears to have been caused by a heart attack.”
That explanation didn’t suffice for Vance.
“‘Appears’ is doing a lot of heavy, lifting here given what we know about how other detainees, including a woman who lost her baby in ICE detention have experienced,” wrote Vance. “Especially with ICE trying to prevent Congress from oversight, there should be a full investigation into this.”

Border czar Tom Homan called for a Justice Department investigation into a CNN segment reporting on an app that tracks ICE — apparently under the mistaken assumption that the cable news network itself is tracking law enforcement agents.
“CNN is pushing an app to track ICE agents to help criminal aliens evade being detained,” pro-Trump commentator Benny Johnson said during an interview with Homan on his podcast Monday.
“It’s disgusting,” Homan replied.
“This is horrendous that a national media outlet would be out there trying to forecast law enforcement operations throughout the country,” Homan added. “It’s incredible where we’re at as a country and I think DOJ needs to look at this and see if they crossed that line.”
Total bullshit so far. The app doesn’t forecast anything. It’s hard to believe that Trump’s so-called “Border Czar” is really this stupid, but yes, he is.
Despite Homan’s claim, the CNN report in question was not “trying to forecast” ICE operations, it was reporting on an app that does so.
Well, that’s SLIGHTLY better, except that the app still doesn’t FORECAST anything.

The free app allows users to anonymously plot ICE sightings on a map, which then sends alerts to all users within a five mile radius.
Every logged sighting is accompanied by the disclaimer: “Please note that the use of this app is for information and notification purposes only. It is not to be used for the purposes of inciting violence or interfering with law enforcement.”
Reporting what you’ve seen and sharing that info with others is protected free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a simple fact which fools like Tom Homan nevertheless find difficult to comprehend.
