Mr. Fetterman, it's really this simple: you're receiving $174,000 a year for a position to which you were elected after asking people to trust that you'd be an unwavering champion for working class families. I don't give a fuck that you missed your beach trip. Stop whining and get back to work.

Perhaps everyone should repeatedly call the Mormon church and ask them if this is what they represent. If you’re Mormon call for resignation or you won’t tithe.

Also, when I reached out to DHS about this, they sent me a statement… …Except the statement appeared to refer to an entirely different incident at an entirely different church, and referenced photos I did mention or include in my press inquiry.

A White House spokesperson declined to comment when asked about the incident, directing RNS to the Department of Homeland Security for confirmation of federal involvement.
DHS sent along a statement attributed to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin that claimed ICE wasn't in Downey the day of the incident.
"FALSE," McLaughlin said in the statement. "ICE law enforcement was not even in Downey, CA yesterday. This is just another false narrative to try and demonize our brave ICE law enforcement by claiming they were raiding a church."
McLaughlin dismissed any photo evidence of the incident in the parking lot, saying any photos were from a criminal arrest earlier this year. However, McLaughlin's statement appears to have been copied and pasted from a different press inquiry, as the arrest McLaughlin referred to was at a different church from April.

RNS followed up multiple times seeking clarification, such as whether agents from another federal agency - including Border Patrol, which operates underneath DHS — were in the area on Wednesday. DHS did not reply.
Officials from the city of Downey directly contradicted McLaughlin in a statement sent to RNS, claiming "federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were conducting enforcement operations within various areas of the City of Downey" on Wednesday. City officials said the Downey Police Department "does not assist or collaborate with ICE" as a matter of policy, but also does not hinder the federal agency's operations.
"The Department remains committed to maintaining public safety and is prepared to respond to any illegal or unsafe activity that may arise during these enforcement operations, as it would in any situation impacting community safety," the statement from the city read.

Absolutely right.

I laugh at the cowardly ICE agents. There's a reason people are yelling at you, man. It's because you're being a fucking asshole. Do you know what would constitute bravery? Saying, "No, I am not going to carry out this grotesque and racist government assault on its citizens, because I know it is unjust." That would be brave. Saying "no?
" Putting on your
bulletproof vest and breaking up families and shrugging and saying "just following orders" and hiding your face is the most weak-ass thing I can imagine. "I'd rather destroy the lives of entire families than have the fellas make fun of me. I'd rather tear mothers away from their children than get a regular job." Go fuck yourself man. Because nobody cool is ever going to fuck you. That, I guarantee. Keep on dreaming.
