LA Mayor Encouraging Migrants to 'Know Your Rights' Amid Protests Sparks Fury From Conservatives: 'Their Only Right Is to Be Deported'
Conservative social media users have furiously taken to online platforms in response to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass calling upon Angelenos to "know their rights", claiming undocumented immigrants only have the right to deportation. "Angelenos: know your rights. Stay safe, stay informed," Bass wrote in a post to X (formerly Twitter), alongside an infographic educating people on how to respond when approached or questioned by federal immigration officers. Conservative users angrily began to respond to Bass' post, denying the rights of undocumented immigrants. "Illegals have no rights. Their only 'right' is to be deported," wrote one user. "Instructions for rioters?" asked another. "Illegals don't have rights. They should be in jail," wrote a third. FILE PHOTO-Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (L) listens to Foreign Affairs and Defence committee chair Zeev Elkin during a committee meeting at parliament in Jerusalem June 2, 2014. Netanyahu warned on Sunday against any international rush to recognise a Palestinian government due to be announced under a unity pact between the Fatah and Hamas Islamist groups. Reuters "Aiding and abetting illegals from being apprehended?" said a fourth. Eli Cohen speaks after a handing over ceremony and taking the office as the new Israeli Foreign Minister in Jerusalem January 2, 2023. Reuters "Why are you telling illegals they have rights?" added another. The city of Los Angeles has become overrun with protests and demonstrations, beginning last Friday, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement began conducting raids at various locations in the city. Thousands of people took to the streets to protest the presence of federal immigration authorities in the city. President Donald Trump proceeded to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to the city after repeatedly threatening federal intervention. He then took to his own social media platform, Truth Social, to justify his decision. "If I didn't 'SEND IN THE TROOPS' to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now, much like 25,000 houses burned to the ground in L.A. due to an incompetent Governor and Mayor - Incidentally, the much more difficult, time consuming, and stringent FEDERAL PERMITTING PROCESS is virtually complete on these houses, while the easy and simple City and State Permits are disastrously bungled up and WAY BEHIND SCHEDULE!" Trump wrote. "They are a total mess, and will be for a long time. People want to rebuild their houses. Call your incompetent Governor and Mayor, the Federal permitting is DONE!!!" he continued.

Trump Suggests Greta Thunberg Attend 'Anger Management' After Activist Was Detained by Israeli Forces
President Donald Trump called Greta Thunberg an "angry person" and suggested that she needs to attend "anger management classes" after the young activist was detained by the Israeli Navy while attempting to reach the Gaza Strip. Trump made the comment while answering questions from reporters before an "Invest America" event at the White House on Monday. "Do you have a message for Greta Thunberg, and did she come up on your call with the prime minister today?" asked one reporter, referencing Trump's call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day. "Well, she's a strange person. She's a young, angry person. I don't know if it's real anger, it's hard to believe actually, but I saw what happened. She's certainly different. I think she has to go to an anger management class, that's my primary recommendation for her," the president said. "Was she kidnapped by Israel, as she says?" the reporter continued. "I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg," Trump continued. Social media users quickly took to online platforms to express their shock and outrage at the 47th president's response to Thunberg's detention. "Greta: *bringing medical supplies and food to Gaza* trump: 'I think she needs to go to an anger management class,'" wrote one user on TikTok. "Being a humanitarian equals anger in his eyes," said another. "He's talking about someone taking aid to starving children by the way," another added. "Yes she is very different and strange to a narcissist. She has empathy and bravery for trying to help starving people," one user commented. Thunberg, 22, had been on her way to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza when she and several other prominent activists were detained by the Israeli military while in international waters early on Monday. "If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational force, or forces that support Israel," Thunberg said in a pre-recorded video which was then released by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, who operated the boat carrying the activists. "The 'selfie yacht' of the 'celebrities' is safely making its way to the shores of Israel," the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement. "The passengers are expected to return to their home countries." Originally published on Latin Times
