Photo from Carlin Stiehl from the LA Times. Dozens of people holding American flags on the streets of LA are in frame, with a massive cloud of tear gas billowing in front of them. One protester holds a sign that reads Immigrants Make Us Great.

Echoes of Portapique: Nova Scotia RCMP seize fake police car and arrest suspect Nine months after a man driving a replica RCMP cruiser killed 22 people in Nova Scotia, the Mounties have arrested another man for allegedly impersonating an officer while driving a fake police car.

It's not unheard of. Quality of the fake will reveal a lot.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schoolsโ€”told staff they had โ€œparental consent.โ€

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasnโ€™t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The ICE policy that set off chaos in LA Workplace immigration raids are backโ€”even if they could cripple the US workforce.

โ€œYouโ€™re going to see more work site enforcement than youโ€™ve ever seen in the history of this nation. Weโ€™re going to flood the zone.โ€

What set off the clashes in LA? Workplace ICE raidsโ€”from Home Depot to the garment districtโ€”as the Trump administration seeks to increase deportations at all costs.
