Governor Newsom's speech tonight

Small correction. Home Depot doesn’t hire those guys, their customers do. Home Depot generally works to keep them off of their property to ward off complaints.
-
Most of them are not illegal at all. They’re here legally, having been granted access to apply for asylum and awaiting a hearing. Thats a legal means of entry. That’s the law.
The whole “illegal” thing, along with the “murderers, rapists, drug dealers” thing is MAGA bullshit.

Home Depot in particular is interesting. A lot of the guys who look for work there have already obtained green cards. They work a 40 hour week in a factory or some such and then work out of the Home Depot parking lot on weekends to help make ends meet or send money home. Some were actually born here and use the extra work to support their family. Some me probably entered illegally, walked across the border or smuggled in by Coyotes. Those guys should probably be deported after a proper hearing to determine their status.
But not before.

I believe although consult an expert (several here) it's against our Constitution to use the military on American soil, against Americans.
I'm not talking about the National Guard. I'm talking about the Marines.
Also, the National Guard has always been called by governors until now
Disclaimer- everything in this post might be wrong. It's too early for me but I have to get as much done as possible before both the excessive heat warning kicks into effect and it starts raining. I'm too tired to fact check. 🤪

It’s the Posse Comitatus Act.

@Steve-Miller Thanks for the clarification.
Correction: Go after those that do hire them.
A friend of thecomputerdude owns a custom carpentry business and does not hire undocumented workers, but all of his competitors do, making it very difficult to compete. The employers are breaking the law knowingly. IMNSHO the employers should be held accountable.
At any rate nothing justifies kidnapping people off the street with no id, and no due process.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's deployment of California's National Guard to Los Angeles and called the move illegal.
The judge's order to return control of the troops to California Governor Gavin Newsom will not go into effect immediately and the administration has filed an appeal.
The state sued President Donald Trump on Monday over his order to deploy the troops without Gov Newsom's consent. -
Interesting strategy.
Trump is ‘not all there,’ Newsom says amid Los Angeles fight
The California Democrat is dinging the president on his mental acuity.The new line of attack from Newsom, who is widely considered a top contender for president in 2028, comes after he told Fox LA earlier this week that Trump “is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he’s incapable now of even a train of thought. He’s making things up.””

I would like to see local police and state national guard troops challenging the kidnappers claiming to be working for ICE or other federal agencies. Show of ID and document all names involved. Take any into custody without proper ID and warrents. I've already seen reports of "bad people" donning the rag-tag uniform of the day with face mask to abduct women...
