Summary
Thousands protested in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against a surge in ICE raids under President Trump’s administration.
Demonstrators marched from Olvera Street to City Hall before blocking lanes on the 101 Freeway, leading to major traffic disruptions.
The California Department of Transportation confirmed freeway closures, while LAPD reported gridlock across key streets.
Trump has intensified deportations since taking office, prompting widespread demonstrations in major cities. Authorities have yet to confirm arrests or further enforcement actions.
Your comment does not make that obvious. Interpreted as is, it sounds like you’re complaining about the protesters.
You probably only think so because you already saw it downvoted and got on the downvote brigade.
Regardless, you misinterpreted.
When somebody says that someone “has enough going on” that means that you should leave them be because they have enough going on, don’t make it worse. It really should have been pretty clear. It’s a common expression.
This is an article about protests to ICE raids, not the raids themselves. Therefore your comment appears to be reacting to the protests unless you provide clarification.
I honestly read it both ways. I was confused and looked at your further comments for clarity but people before me didn’t have that luxury. What is a Los Angelenos? To a progressive it means anyone residing in the city limits (or once did), to a right-wing definition it would be the registered approved-citizens (blah blah).
This article also centers around the premise of the protests, so by saying “they don’t need this right now”, it seems you’re demeaning the protests and not the ICE actions which have been on-going. It’s apparent after reading more, but your first comment wasn’t a clear, concise, and easily communicated premise or else you wouldn’t see all of the confusion obviously
- Title: Protest in LA
- You: Don’t they have enough going on?
See how it looked? Maybe you should work on your communication.
