Summary
Thousands protested in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against a surge in ICE raids under President Trump’s administration.
Demonstrators marched from Olvera Street to City Hall before blocking lanes on the 101 Freeway, leading to major traffic disruptions.
The California Department of Transportation confirmed freeway closures, while LAPD reported gridlock across key streets.
Trump has intensified deportations since taking office, prompting widespread demonstrations in major cities. Authorities have yet to confirm arrests or further enforcement actions.
For what it’s worth, the wealthy people aligned with Trump want a collapse so they can create their own fiefdoms. Their fiefdoms will allow immigrants in to do the “undesirable” jobs. They don’t want the US to be the richest most stable country, they want to OWN the richest most stable country, and they think tho only way to do that is start with deregulation and collapse. That part of the plan just happens to align with state actors who would love to see the US decline on a global scale. Really unfortunate that they’re rich enough to not have to worry about if the plan works or not, they’re happy to go along with the first part and just see what happens.
