Federal agents thought they could stay in the LA area neighborhoods they were terrorizing, they were wrong.

Thank you people of Pasadena, and thank you, to people all over the LA area who resist masked thugs lurking in our neighborhoods and then wanting to camp out there as well.

1. Thinking out side of the box..good for them 👏 This is non violence good trouble 💙

2. Yes it is.

28. Hotel chains can be notified that if they house or assist ICE agents they will be boycotted.

If even one of their hotels assists ICE the entire chain will be boycotted.

Let's start having the big corporations get some skin in the game.

That would be making "good trouble."

13. As of right now, we are pretty much on our own. It is great to see the communities responding as they are.

20. We the people.

I think he's going to occupy the cities he mentioned and in 2026 midterms confiscate militarily the voting machines.

4. And fuck this person....

Are we honestly supposed to care? Makes you wonder if she's seen actual videos of armed masked anonymous men grabbing that 60 year old tamale vendor. Or taking down that Walmart kid. Are they Fucking kidding!

In an emailed statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “Attacks and demonization of ICE have resulted in officers facing a 413% increase in assaults. DHS has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. Any individual who participates in the doxxing of our brave federal immigration agents will be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

21. They brutalize and terrorize the community and

Then threaten to prosecute anyone that would dare to fight back these fucking monsters.
This is a goddamn disgusting fascist country.

[Walleye]

26. So I guess all violent thugs would prefer to keep their identities hidden

[Biophilic]

5. The hospitality industry has a lot to lose in this battle.

I would think those CEOs would be screaming from the rafters. Do they not realize that no one will fill those jobs if people are lost to ICE? This is just insane.

25. ice can clean their own rooms.

10. They knew a lot of workers from kitchen to housekeeping wouldn't show up for work

if they thought they'd be hassled by a bunch of I*CE agents staying at the hotel/motel.

In fact, ICE is going to have to unmask and get into civvies if they want to stay anywhere even outside the city for the same reason.

Managers and owners aren't dumb. They know even documented workers are getting hassled by these guys. They are willing to lose some business in order to keep the hotels open. They'd have to close if staff refused to show up.

12. Right now, word is traveling like wildfire throughout all the communities of greater Los Angeles and Orange County.

And, the inland empire, and every beach community between Malibu and imperial Beach. We can also rely on San Diego and San Francisco to pick up the ball and run with this idea.

[Warpy]

16. I know I'd call in sick if I knew the Gestapo had checked in

Oh, I'm lily white but I know I'd be expected to do ten times the work to pick up the slack from coworkers who were too afraid to show up. You bet your ass this is going to spread, and fast, to any state where brown people are the bulk of hotel work forces.

People in red states will likely get fired if they walk of the job when ICE agents in full regalia show up, whether as guests or Gestapo. Civil isobedience has consequences but I think managers will learn very quickly it's better to flip on that "no vacancy" sign in a hurry than it is to lose half your staff and have to train new hires.

27. Wow..i am familiar with some of these hotels: She played her trumpet outside the Glendale Hilton for two hours straight

She played her trumpet outside the Glendale Hilton for two hours straight until her lips blistered. She says she was trying to help emphasize people’s chants with her trumpet-playing by mimicking the beat of them. And she said she plans to keep going at the next protest.

The moment is dark, and she said she has been feeling a sense of “overwhelm” and depression about what is happening. But going to these actions has actually “uplifted my spirit,” Quintero said.
