Last weekend, hundreds of protesters gathered in California’s state capitol to denounce the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In California alone, demonstrations took place in 60 different communities. Most proceeded without incident, but on Tuesday, a protester at an ICE facility in Santa Ana was hit in the face by a projectile fired by a federal agent. President Donald Trump has denounced the anti-ICE protests, saying they are being organized by “professional agitators,” and that law enforcement “should not have to put up with this stuff.”

Wonder if professor Sarat is going to get out into the street or just hide out in his ivory tower
That took longer than I thought it would.
At this rate, I wonder: Are there any recent indicators that centrists are distancing themselves from crazy in this midterm leadup?
How about this, why were there all of those demonstrations at college campuses in sympathy with Hamas against Israel and that these same people are basically silent regarding the Iranians against that theocratic government?
Anti ICE “protesters” are committing crimes every time they interfere with LEOs. The fact they are committing these crimes in advocacy for other criminals is lost on this rag apparently.
LOL! What a morons are running that pos.
He’s very stupid or evil if he thinks Trump is taking an inconsistent or hypocritical position.
The prof has an inversion of reason. Iran’s dictator is attacking citizens defending their rights to be free of tyrannical murder and torture.
The prof is defending criminal illegals and foreign criminal drug cartels who have murdered raped and pillaged American citizens, young and old.
Way to go, democrats. Even my city, beset as it has been with riots, isn’t backing this cause du jour.
Conflating Iranian protesters with ICE protesters is rather weak.
There not ICE “protesters”.
They are traitors, protecting criminal illegal aliens who murder and rape American citizens. Every single one of them should be in prison awaiting execution (especially Waltz and Frey).
I think this tweet is apropos:

@redsteeze
“No one is illegal on stolen land.” is the quiet part out loud, driving Dems and Walz on this. They just know you can’t say that out loud for fear of sounding insane, so they indoctrinate these kids to say it.”
Not even the illegal aliens who deserve deportation the most like murderers, rapists, child sex abusers and abuelas.
Austin’s wailing only works if the two demonstrations are comparable. They are not.
Sounds like the professor is the real hypocrite.
“...How about this, why were there all of those demonstrations at college campuses in sympathy with Hamas against Israel and that these same people are basically silent regarding the Iranians against that theocratic government...?”
Because it’s not about sympathy with the oppressed so much as it’s about hating t3h j000000z.
Sacramento bee idiocy on full display
Apples and oranges, you Sacramento idiots!
The Revolutionary Guard in Iran will be hit by Trump. Soon
This BS is not worth reading. As if the Trump admin is in the same universe as the Mullahs.
-PJ
Also, Iran funds Hamas, Hezzbola, Houti, etc. So, equating the demonstrators is the same as saying that the US Admin also supports hamas......
