NEW: This afternoon, federal agents violently attacked a crowd of protesters after descending from the Warren E. Burger Federal Building with tear gas and pepper spray. Protests are ongoing in St. Paul after 15 people were indicted and arrested for anti-ICE activism.

On Wednesday at 10am, the full LA City Council will vote on Charter Reform proposals to send to the Nov ballot. This includes a measure that allows City Council to have direct policy authority over LAPD. Take action using LA Forward’s toolkit: tinyurl.com/policeCR617

On Wed, LA City Council will decide whether it should be able to make policy for LA’s largest dept (& budget item): LAPD. Many voters assumed this was the case — nope! Currently, Council only makes RECS to a Board. 😮 Send an email to fix this omission: tinyurl.com/crpolice

Protesting ICE is not a crime! Statement on Minneapolis Anti-ICE Activists Targeted with Federal Repression This morning, June 16th, there were multiple coordinated raids on immigrant rights activists in the Twin Cities. At least 15 people have been indicted, with the U.S. Grand Jury charging “conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer,” alongside a number of other trumped-up charges. The fact is, people here in the Twin Cities correctly and courageously stood up to Operation Metro Surge and built an outpouring of militant resistance to ICE terror. People from all walks of life were in the streets to oppose deportations and ICE agents. Now the government is cracking back. These kinds of bogus charges are part of framing community defense and activism as terrorism, and they want to intimidate and repress the immigrant rights movement by criminalizing protest. This isn’t the first go-round with the feds retaliating against anti-ICE activists since the beginning of the year, with attempts to scare the immigrant rights movement into submission. It didn’t work before, and it wont work this time, either. This is a serious attack, and we are going to stand with these activists. We should be prepared to defend all those who are being targeted and persecuted, and to fight the charges. Stop deportations! Protesting ICE is not a crime!

LAPD shot & killed Jameson, the dog wearing a Knicks jersey. LAPD has a $3.6 BILLION BUDGET to support/maintain 8,555 officers. It’s the MOST DIFFICULT department to hold accountable because City Hall lacks political will. This can change via CHARTER REFORM & the NOV ELECTION‼️

one of her neighbors called in a noise complaint because she was celebrating the knicks winning, mind your fuckin business and stop calling the police like its customer service
