Earlier this week, federal agents conducted an immigration sweep in the MacArthur Park section of Los Angeles in what was described as a joint operation in an area known to have a significant MS-13 presence.
Feckless Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), who had previously demanded such operations stop and who has refused to work with federal law enforcement, rushed to the park not long after, demanding to speak to whoever she needed to try and put a halt to their operation. Not surprisingly, mask-wearing anti-ICE activists also joined in for some “peaceful protesting”:
After the mayor’s unsuccessful attempt at stopping the operation, she took to the X machine to express outrage that it was taking place in an area where “more than 20 kids were playing”:
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) also proclaimed that there was no reason for “armed agents to terrorize a community” considering MacArthur Park “is not a war zone. It is a playground, a picnic spot, a community spot”:
The problem here is that the people who have actually lived, worked in, and/or visited LA and who are fed up with the lies and lawlessness are telling a much different story and have been for months:
TikTok user “homanardalan,” who described himself as a native Los Angelian who lives in downtown LA and knows the city well, absolutely went off (language warning):
“Now Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom are super-upset. Why is ICE and military presence at MacArthur Park? Now let me tell you, MacArthur Park is a sh*thole. It is a drug-infested sh*thole. It is one of the most dangerous, sketchy parks that you could possibly go to. Even driving by MacArthur Park feels dangerous, okay? I’m not exaggerating.Ask anybody who lives in LA, and they will tell you the same. It is literally infested with people who look like zombies and dope dealers standing there literally selling drugs right in front of you, nonstop. And the city of Los Angeles does nothing about this. Gov. Gavin Newsom does nothing about this, okay?MacArthur Park is a safety hazard. It is a danger zone. It is a park that is so bad it should probably be shut down and turned into something else. That is how unsafe that park is. So, is it appropriate for ICE and military presence to show up at MacArthur Park and scare everybody off? Absolutely. Absolutely. It should have been done a long, long time ago.”
Watch:
In other words, Democrats are flat out lying to you about MacArthur Park. I know. Shocking, right?
