As the protests escalate in LA, WIRED is also covering what the agency has been doing in the shadows. Recently, ICE quietly rescinded guidance that advised agents conducting courthouse raids to take steps to avoid violating state and local laws while carrying out civil immigration arrests.

ICE is also paying software company Palantir $30 million to provide the agency with “near real-time visibility” on people self-deporting from the United States, according to a contract justification published in a federal register. The tool would also help ICE choose who to deport.

Mayor Karen Bass in LA noted that none of the former immigration rules/processes were being followed by Trump. Like not allowing detained people to have access to lawyers who are on the scene to offer help.

Wearing all black is horrible idea. That's what the anarchists wear. They're the ones attacking police. In LA, wear your local team gear. Lakers. Dodgers. Angels. Rams. Galaxy. LAFC (white kit). Trojans. Bruins. It's all good. Show your local pride. Or wear something in light colors.
