Remember last week, when a bunch of ICE Agents, CBP, and National Guard mounted a heavily armed ground assault on…a public park in Los Angeles? It turns out, despite ICE claiming there was a high threat level at the park, the grotesque show of force mostly encountered bewildered park goers, having already scared away children playing there.

The Trump Administration staged the whole thing as a show of force, bringing along camera crews to record the scene. They were hoping to strike fear, but instead they became a laughingstock. Internal documents turned over to investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein reveal both the overblown hysteria of the threat assessment, as well as the consensus of National Guard participants that the whole thing was a farce.
