ICE shows up in Irvine, and a councilmember encourages undocumented people to stay home
The Orange County Register ^ | June 12, 2025 | Jonathan Horowitz

An Irvine city councilmember in an Instagram post encouraged undocumented people to stay home on Thursday, June 12, after learning that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would be in the city throughout the day.

Later, about 200 people gathered by Angel Stadium to protest ICE activities in Orange County and elsewhere. As the Anaheim demonstration grew, some people climbed street poles to wave Mexican flags and around a dozen others stood in the middle of the street as cars drove by.

Eventually, the protest turned into dancing in the streets, and then someone lit a firecracker, and at about 8 p.m., police declared an unlawful assembly.

In her Instagram post earlier, Irvine City Councilmember Kathleen Treseder wrote, “We have been informed that immigration agents will be in eight to 10 locations in Irvine today. Orchard Hills being one of them. If you are concerned about your status, please stay home.”

...

Walking down the street, Jesus Lopez, 26 of Irvine, said it was an overwhelming moment.

It was his first protest.

“There’s a lot of people that I know that are undocumented and don’t deserve to be deported,” Lopez said. “There’s nothing that makes me different from them. There’s no reason to deport them because they were born somewhere else and haven’t done anything wrong.”

The politician's actions endangering law enforcement officers are why the feds don't notify politicians about their operations.

The ignorance of the protester later in the article is no doubt reflective of most protesters thinking.

Fortunately, although they make a lot of noise in the press, the protesters are by far in the minority on their lack of support for the aggressive enforcement of federal immigration laws we are seeing.

How would these communist politicians react if tomorrow 5,000 of us showed up in LA brandishing the Gadsen flag? Because these illegal alients and the communist puppet masters are treading on us.

A radio announcer on KCBS in the Bay Area did basically the same thing.

It was a news story for awhile, then sorta ‘went away’.

There’s a lot of people that I know that are undocumented and don’t deserve to be deported,” Lopez said. There’s no reason to deport them because they were born somewhere else and haven’t done anything wrong.

Another uneducated but useful 25 year old voter. Every group on the march, no matter how large or small, helps advance the agenda.

OTOH, if the feds are looking for illegal alien criminals at their home addresses the politician’s warning could be helpful for the feds.

“There’s a lot of people that I know that are undocumented and don’t deserve to be deported,” Lopez said. “There’s nothing that makes me different from them. There’s no reason to deport them because they were born somewhere else and haven’t done anything wrong.”

Evidence abounds of the 'True pandemic'.

But all these headlines are simultaneously boring and tiring:

ICE doesn't have the manpower to make a dent. It's all theater, likely leading to an amnesty announcement (hopefully not by DJT).

They need to both strengthen and enforce E-verify or the-like, compelling either proof of citizenship/visa...or NO JOB. But this must be in conjunction with both federal aid cutoff & brutal penalties to states for 'benefits' illegally disbursed to those there illegally, including medical care.

Millions will then self-deport.

We all talk about war when it comes to Iran, but that topic is a convenient distraction from what needs to be classified as a war here at home that's still being treated like a game of softball...

Satan is much more effective when he remains hidden away in the shadows and people believe all the chaos and riots are some organic truth of itself springing up on its own merits.

Obama and Soros are no longer able to hide their CIA “Color Revolution” operations manual in use complete with pallets of staged bricks and pay-per-riot hired goons and neatly handed out hammer and sickle posters and gas masks.

They’ll soon manufacturer themselves a dead martyr in 4K UHD.

Identify and lock up those paying for this lawless insurrection. There will always be an endless supply of lawless goons for hire.

” INVADERS DON’T DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED”

THEY have certainly been ill-informed

Better: "...If you are concerned about your illegal status, please go home..."

"There’s no reason to deport them because they were born somewhere else and haven’t done anything wrong.”

You are wrong.

They broke American laws when they entered the country illegally and w/o permission.

INVADERS DON’T DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED Under international law there are other lawful ways of dealing with unlawful combatants.

Irvine, CA?

ICE should go to "Eastwood Village" (I call it FAR-EASTwood Village) BECAUSE THAT HOUSING AREA IS A CHINESE OPERATION MOSTLY CONSISTING OF CHINESE 'BIRTHING HOTELS' where Chinese national females are PAID $50K & UP TO HAVE BABIES.

Also, Chinese POT GROW operations are taking place within normal looking CONDOS in this area as well as other drugs.

EASTWOOD VILLAGE in Irvine is a CHINESE FRONT housing community and it should be RAIDED BY ICE.

LOTS OF CHINESE NATIONALS UP TO NO GOOD IN IRVINE, CA. A VERY expensive area and you won't find many Hispanic illegals living there.
