#21 ¿Que pasó? with Señor B - week of 8/18

La Migra Being Dirty

We've seen these tactics before, where a person is sent undercover to create trouble and give law enforcement an excuse to crack down on protestors. This time, however, we have a clear look at just how calculated this performance can be.

The scene happens in Los Angeles, where a person, “disguised” around the protestors, is caught on camera creating a disturbance. The person is screaming and getting physical with the protestors, you can also clearly tell that he is with law enforcement.

It's all a performative act meant to create a narrative that justifies a forceful response. They want a reason to take down protestors, and they are literally staging a scene to get a picture.

A big shout-out goes to the people on the ground who are working tirelessly to push ICE out of our cities. They are the ones who exposed this for what it was.

A Sacred Line Is Crossed

There was a time when certain places were considered off-limits for ICE. Under previous administrations, schools and churches, places of education and worship, were protected zones, providing a sense of safety for families. A line was drawn, a basic understanding that some spaces are sacred and must not be violated, especially when children are present.

But that line is gone. Now, no place is sacred. We see ICE agents going after people anywhere and everywhere, blurring the lines between public and private life, safety and terror.

The clip you're sharing shows a shocking example of this: a family is targeted while a parent is dropping their kids off at school. This isn't just an act against one family; the trauma it inflicts is a ripple effect. It spreads to every child, every parent, and every teacher who witnesses it. It shatters the sense of community safety and turns a routine morning into a scene of fear.

This serves as a powerful reminder to be careful out there. The rules have changed, and the stakes are higher than ever. Stay safe and informed.

ICE Using Weapons On People

It’s been reported that la migra has been trying to get this video, and others like it, taken down. The reason becomes clear as you watch. In the clip, a family, in a moment of confusion, asks the "agents" to show their identification. They are shouting orders and making demands, but there is no proof of who they are.

This lack of transparency is incredibly dangerous. We have seen multiple instances of people pretending to be ICE agents to commit crimes and do terrible things. When law enforcement refuses to show a badge or identify themselves, it looks less like a legal action and more like a kidnapping.

The most terrifying moment comes when the family attempts to drive away. Even though no one was in danger, the agents opened fire on them. Luckily, no one was injured, but the disregard for human life is a chilling reminder of how far some are willing to go. This is simply not okay.

Alligator Alcatraz Shut Down

In a moment of much-needed good news, a judge has ordered "Alligator Alcatraz" to shut down! This facility, which mirrored a concentration camp in many ways, will no longer be able to inflict human rights abuses on detainees.

The judge’s order is a major victory, a powerful rebuke of the inhumane conditions that have been reported. It is a win for dignity and humanity. The facility is not allowed to bring in any new detainees, and within 60 days, they must remove the generators, lights, and fencing that made it a place of terror.

The ruling also restores a key right to the indigenous communities in the area. They must be re-allowed to use the land as they did before this "detention center" was built.

This is a step in the right direction. It's a clear statement that even people in the process of deportation deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I'm glad to see this happening.

Influencer Prank As La Migra

There’s a viral clip circulating right now from an influencer who thought it was a good idea to "prank" the community in Los Angeles. The video shows them dressed in army-style clothing, holding a sign that says "Not ICE," and trying to troll people on the streets.

Comedy is subjective, but I think this crosses a line. The influencers claim they're trying to highlight how bad ICE is by making a joke out of them, but at whose expense? And to do this in Los Angeles, of all places, is truly horrible. This city is home to one of the largest immigrant populations in the country, and these communities live with a very real and daily fear of detention and deportation.

This isn’t a joke; it’s a terrifying act that only serves to cause panic and trauma for clicks. It also makes you wonder how many other people will try to copy this "prank" just to get attention. This kind of behavior isn't just tasteless; it's dangerous and a new low for content creation.

How many young people are going to copy this? #lamigra #losangeles #deportations #comedy #immigrants
