Statement on Trump Administration Violence in Los Angeles

by Portland DSA’s Immigrant Justice Working Group

Portland DSA stands in solidarity with immigrants and all the people of Los Angeles as they face the oppression of militarized federal ICE forces and the National Guard. 

We condemn the Trump administration’s use of violence—including tear gas and rubber bullets—to suppress protests against its illegitimate deportation regime. 

In 2020, the Portland community experienced the same violence from the same forces and under the same president. 

The rebellion in Portland, which lasted for more than 100 days, was a clear response to the daily violence experienced by colonized peoples across the United States. 

We stand with immigrants in the face of these reprehensible and unconstitutional attacks and call on the people of Portland to join us in condemning and resisting this violence. 

Through a diversity of tactics, we speak with a united voice:

Abolish ICE!

No one is illegal on stolen land! 

¡Se ve, se siente, el pueblo está presente!
