25 Immigration Activists Arrested as They Protest AG Sessions Visit in Downtown L.A.
KTLA ^ | June 26, 2018 | Eric Spillman and Erika Martin,

Posted on 06/26/2018 12:38:22 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Police were heard declaring an unlawful assembly after a line of demonstrators, among them several clergy members, was seen linking arms across Spring Street outside the U.S. Attorney's Office building, blocking the road to traffic as they chanted "Kids belong at home, not in cages."

Many of the protestors wore children’s onesies pinned to their chests to represent the immigrant youth separated from their parents by the Trump administration. Some also wore blue arm bands, indicating they intended to be taken into custody for their actions.

So far, 25 people have been arrested for failure to disperse, said Los Angeles Police Officer Jeff Lee. People were seen being taken away in handcuffs around 10 a.m., hours after they had assembled.

...

Sessions also used his time in front of the school resource officers conference to list examples of violence by MS-13 in the US in grisly detail and, at one point, tied the gang directly to the population of immigrant children.

"MS-13 is recruiting children who were sent here as unaccompanied minors. They come here with not roots and minimal connections and they seek to recruit from them. And some come here, and are brought here, and sent here by the gangs in Central America to strengthen and replenish the MS-13 gangs," he said.

Contrary to popular belief, Californians are a lot more nuanced as a voting block and if enough registered Independents voted Republican once in awhile, the DISASTROUS Dems RUINING our state in front could be voted out. But we also happen to be a rather apathetic voting block when it comes to state/local elections. It’s still worth putting up a fight though. The illegal immigration/sanctuary state nonsense gets on a lot of people’s nerves, including immigrants.

They were hoping to start violence, which the media would blame on followers of Trump.

“Kids belong at home”

We agree. That’s why they should be repatriated to their home countries as soon as apprehended, as our President said.

Attorney General Sessions Statement on Recusal

....

“During the course of the last several weeks, I have met with the relevant senior career Department officials to any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States. discuss whether I should recuse myself from any matters arising from the campaigns for President of the United States.

“Having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.”

....

“Consistent with the succession order for the Department of Justice, Acting Deputy Attorney General and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente shall act as and perform the functions of the Attorney General with respect to any matters from which I have recused myself to the extent they exist.”

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-sessions-statement-recusal

“Boente was designated to perform the functions of the Attorney General with respect to campaign issues until the permanent deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, was confirmed by the United States Senate and sworn into office which took place on April 25, 2017.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Boente

“President Donald Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on February 1, 2017. Rosenstein was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 2017.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Rosenstein

Trump has only himself to blame for Rosenstein.

If they are not here legally, they should be immediately deported.

What you said.

"Kids belong at home, not in cages. Home is Honduras."

I do feel sorry for the kids. Their parents should have never dragged them into this.

I went back to reread. Thosw arrested were not described as illegalsw. They were likely ordinary paid for demonstrators. ,

“So far, 25 people have been arrested”

Are they going to take their kids with them to jail? I’d hate to see them break up families.
