They're opposing the people opposing ICE. They're supposed to be the opposition party, but all they ever seem to oppose seriously is the left.
Can you show me where they're opposing the people opposing ICE? Thus far, Newsom has been strongly critical of the crackdown, and the LA Mayor has only enforced a curfew in a single area of downtown where there was legitimate looting by opportunists - other protest sites are untouched by that policy.
Please, explain.
Oh, is the curfew not city wide?
No, it isn't, a section of downtown only where opportunists were looting.
Whoever downvoted this, heres proof: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/jun/11/la-protests-los-angeles-curfew-ice-california-governor-donald-trump-us-politics-latest-updates-news
Literally in the byline: Mayor Karen Bass issues curfew for one square mile area in downtown, beginning at 8pm local time on Tuesday until 6am local time on Wednesday
These things are not hard to find!
So, per your own comment, protests in that area are being suppressed by California law enforcement who are claiming "looting" as an excuse
Also, per that recent incident where an LAPD officer said from a helicopter that they were taking pictures and would arrest protesters at their homes, it doesn't seem like they're going to limit their suppression activities to that one area
??? The mayor of LA, who has so far been against state escalation against the protests, indicated a small section of down town LA was under curfew because of opportunists looting. She was explicit that other protest sites were not being interfered with by LAPD.
I don't see why we wouldn't believe her in this case given her history and the context.
Re: helicopter thing, yes that comment was apparently made but hit me up when something happens. Very easy to make yourself upset when you get to invent scenarios to be mad about.
