That was the, you know, pushing and shoving and this real chaos. That's when they arrested the mayor of Newark, New Jersey before they later dropped charges against him. They manhandled all those members of Congress. Ultimately later, they arrested one of those members of Congress, LaMonica McIver.

Do you remember just the scenes of what that looked like, just the kinetic activity there, how chaotic and out of control that scene was, how the law enforcement guys just seemed totally out of their depth? Law enforcement clearly did not know what they were doing, clearly just winging it.

They were obviously scared and confused, many of them masked, very, very much overarmed, but they didn't clearly have any idea what to do. And that made the whole scene like a thousand times more dangerous and chaotic than it ever should have been.

Those totally out-of-their-depth federal agents at that shameful scene in Newark, those guys who really appeared to be panicked and completely untrained for what they were doing there, they are federal agents from an agency called HSI, Homeland Security Investigations.

And if you start looking, when you see scenes like this anywhere in the country right now, you will often see HSI as the logo, if you see any logo at all, on the uniforms or on the patches of these agents. Now, HSI is supposed to be like investigating smuggling rings. They are not an agency that is trained for policing protests or doing crowd control or anything like that.

Nevertheless, Trump has them doing that, over and over again, all over the country. And when they do things like that, it keeps going horribly wrong because this federal agency is clearly totally untrained for this work and is clearly out of its depth.

And so, guess who the geniuses were who so nimbly managed this operation at a popular Italian restaurant in the lovely Balboa Park neighborhood of San Diego this weekend? Now, hi, you guys. Somebody apparently told these guys from HSI Somebody apparently told these guys from Homeland Security Investigations that they were going to be invading Fallujah on Friday afternoon. I mean, this is bananas.

This is a popular Italian restaurant in San Diego. Just as they were opening for dinner on a beautiful Friday afternoon, multiple clown cars full of Trump's HSI agents in full battle rattle with helmets and long guns and flak jackets and goggles and masks and the whole thing.

I mean, literally looking like they were going to rappel out of helicopters into the Tora Bora cave complex to fight Al Qaeda. These guys dressed like this run into a neighborhood Italian restaurant and reportedly handcuffed the entire crew working at the restaurant, everybody inside. And then they arrested people who were like, you know, busboys and waiters and stuff.

And then, unsurprisingly, the whole neighborhood came out to say, what the heck are you doing? Is this Red Dawn? Are we being invaded, Wolverines? This is what you're doing to save us from the terrible menace of, like, the nice waiter at our favorite local restaurant? Trump's immigration agents had no idea what to do.
