I’m not sure which agency arrested him, but they seemed to seek out David Huerta. Maxine Waters was barred from seeing him at the downtown detention center. Gov Newsom mentioned his concern about that particular arrest. This is political. No two ways about it.
Last Friday ICE invaded my quiet former neighborhood in San Diego, South Park. They brought the full military force down on a small local trattoria at the time locals were having a relaxed Friday lunch cum vino in the screened-in patio, under the trees. The over-armed, masked thugs busted on, dragged out the kitchen staff and everyone’s favorite waiter.
Within minutes, 30th St was filling with neighbors who were outraged that their out of the way, quiet little urban hideaway was subject to military invasion. Out came the flash grenades and smoke bombs thrown at the residents in the street and in their yards. I am proud of my old neighbors. The crowd got larger and louder, chanting Shame! Shame! Shame! DHS called the response “a violent assault on ICE officers”, so their claims don’t carry much credibility with me.
I cannot imagine there is any need for Marines. But if they show up, they will assume command. No matter what happens, Miller will describe it as Armageddon.
Do you have any info or insight into who are the actual demonstrators, particularly the ones fighting back? Doesn’t make sense to me that actual undocumented individuals would risk arrest so cavalierly.
Troops are not typically trained to do crowd control. Marines are trained to shoot people. Why does this song come to mind: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/neilyoung/ohio.html ?

No. They look to me like radical teens. Some but not many are from small sectarian left “parties” the area is about 80 percent Latino as well. T
