#Pasadena

4 posts4 participants0 posts today

On Saturday, LosAngeles-area elected officials, advocacy groups, and community members convened in #Pasadena for what was billed as a “People’s Hearing on Extreme Weather”

Organized by the Climate Action Campaign and its member environmental activist groups, the event drew testimony from wildfire survivors and health officials. They criticized the Trump administration and are seeking to put pressure on California to safeguard climate change programs

We are under seige in #LA:

A suspected fed. agent is seen exiting a Dodge Charger @ an intersection & pointing his gun @ members of the public. Acc. to #Pasadena officials, the vehicle's license plate is a "cold plate," or untraceable, which is typically used by law enforcement in undercover criminal operations. "One question is this a law enforcement agent or someone pretending to be a law enforcement agent, & there is no good answer" (Mayor Gordo).

Yahoo News · 'Who are these people?' Masked immigration agents challenge local police, sow fear in L.A.By Nathan Solis, Richard Winton

#Pasadena and the #California state government are fighting back against the #ICE Nazis by passing local/state laws requiring all law enforcement to identify themselves.

It would still be up to local police to enforce, which will happen in some places and not others. I can also see red state governments prohibiting their cities from passing such laws-- we already saw that with local mask mandates for Covid in 2020.

But we can ask our local officials to do the same.

Yeah. It looks like the City of #Pasadena is canceling all of its city activities they had planned for the weekend, and are telling all of their citizens to stay inside and away from outdoor activities while they figure out how to navigate protecting the city from ICE.

Yeah. Gotta get the fuck out of this shithole country ASAP. Shoulda been gone in November.

ICE (….or the hired bounty hunters ICE has hired because yeah….) were trying to kidnap civilians around #Bellflower and #Pasadena today.

In Pasadena, a group of people literally followed 3 different ICE trucks around the ENTIRE PASADENA AREA honking their horns and using megaphones to alert EVERYONE to their presence. They did not relent the entire time. They eventually left the area.

In Bellflower, 20 miles south, however… *the citizens were not as kind. Thats all I’ll say for that one. lol.

Continued thread

“We at the City of #Pasadena are deeply saddened & concerned by the events that have taken place in the region over the past several days surrounding the federal government’s #immigration enforcement activities. Neither the City of Pasadena or the Pasadena Police Dept participate in the enforcement of #federal civil immigration laws, nor do we ask about an individual’s immigration status when responding to calls for service or when delivering City services.”
