I was terrified to come in here driving around by myself because it seemed effectively this was a police state.

You have the largest federal immigration operation in the history of America.

just weeks after a so-called supposed independent journalist, Nick Shirley, was here to promote propaganda for the administration.

And they celebrated that report as real journalism, when in reality, it was just more propaganda for the administration and a reason for them to come in here and be heavy-handed.

And what residents here are telling me is that they believe that the president

wants to incite the Insurrection Act, wants to bring in the military.

Yesterday, during those demonstrations, afterwards, when the demonstrators took over this area, there was a C-130 that flew overhead.

So it's like, are they being pushed here to react?

The embers were here already with the death of George Floyd, Philando Castillo, and those embers have been stoked by the ire of Trump, the persecution of people of color, the Somali

community being disproportionately targeted after latinos have been targeted you're seeing regular americans that are being told now that they have to prepare to uh you know give their citizenship you know this is not a democracy and people are realizing that now it used to sound poetic or dramatic to say hey we're dealing with fascism it's it's not there's so many concrete examples of it happening right now and yesterday was just another one here john

The fuck is wrong with you?

Somebody call 911.

Somebody call 911.

I can't believe they just did that.

Come here.

Okay.

It is.

Want some?

No, I'm okay.

I'm just showing the community how beautiful y'all are.
