You say that, but don't forget that up until 6 months ago we didn't arrest anybody for anything for 4 years, and the rare time somebody got arrested, AOC and Kamala Harris were out there raising money for their bail bonds when they didn't outright have a George Soros appointed DA that just cut them loose outright without a court case.
These stupid college "educated" kids have no idea what's coming to them right now.
They're about to find out.

Attributing the change of heart by the Trump administration to "donor pressure," Rubin explained, "All of the ag interests and the hotel owners and Trump himself who rely on undocumented immigrants, don't like this."

An estimated 15,000 people gathered downtown on Saturday in a nationwide protest of President Donald Trump’s multimillion-dollar military parade later in the day and his administration’s policies.
The Houston demonstration, which also included a march along downtown streets, was one of six in the region, as thousands more protesters took to the streets in Conroe, Cypress, Katy, League City and Sugar Land.
Despite fears that the regional protests could be tarnished by the kind of violence experienced in Los Angeles recently, the Houston region’s demonstrations were peaceful.
“I just think we witnessed Houston at its best; I’ll use the word ‘spectacular,’” Mayor John Whitmire said as the protest wound down. “For over 15,000 people to come together in a peaceful protest and march, that just makes a statement about Houston.”
Whitmire and volunteer crowd counters estimated the number of participants.
Nearly two dozen Houston police officers overlooked the protest from horseback as a succession of speakers rallied the crowd against Trump and reminded protesters to stay peaceful.
As of 2 p.m., Whitmire said, no one had been arrested and there was no damage to downtown buildings.
The nationwide No Kings protests were organized to counter the $45 million military parade Saturday night in Washington, D.C., marking the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. It also coincided with the president’s 79th birthday.
Whitmire, Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz, U.S. Reps. Sylvia Garcia and Al Green, state Reps. Gene Wu and Jolanda Jones and state Sen. Molly Cook were in attendance at City Hall. City Council members Abbie Kamin, Mario Castillo, Joaquin Martinez also joined the crowd.
Garcia kicked off the protest by leading a chant of “no kings,” while demonstrators waved American flags.
“For this fellow in the White House to think he can stop us from exercising our freedom of speech, he is dead wrong,” Garcia said. “It is about our democracy, it is about freedom of speech.”
Diaz said that no members of the National Guard had been deployed to the protest, after Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday that 5,000 troops were being activated before the protests across Texas.
Protester Hakeem Vincent said he was in the Army National Guard for eight years.
“I took an oath to protect the Constitution and people of this country. Trump wasn’t in that oath,” he said. “What he’s doing isn’t right.”
A veteran of the Coast Guard, Melina Bossert, 27, said she joined the protest because she was disappointed with the direction that Trump was leading the country. Bossert said she felt it was her duty to uphold the Constitution where the government had failed to do so.
“They’re ignoring the Constitution, which I swore to uphold, and cutting VA funding, Bossert said. “My family is minority, and they are terrified, and I cannot believe that white nationalists are winning right now, so this is my line in the sand.”
Tony De Litta, 38, came down from The Woodlands to “fight fascism,” with a Trump piñata in hand.
“One of my friends gave it to me ironically four to five months ago, and I didn’t know what I would do with it, and then this came up so I added a diaper and a crown,” he said.
The California native said he’s been going to protests since he moved here in 2008. “This is not my first rodeo,” said De Litta, adding that he was considering whether to go to the Conroe protest later in the day.
In Conroe, about 100 people gathered before the start of the demonstration.
Cindy Womack of Montgomery said she was at the protest because she wanted to show her displeasure

If the protests were truly massive, there would be drone footage of streets filled as far as the eye can see. Instead, pictures are close up, framing (sometimes) 1000 people in big cities like LA, htt
(for benefit of those out of frame, let's say 2000)
But sometimes just a couple of hundred to a couple of dozen
Also, protests aren't always on behalf of migrants, many seem to be just general anti-Trump. I get the feeling that migrants aren't the big draw that organizers thought.
What say you?
Nope, it was the parade that flopped. There were many more people in your photo than at the parade. So, I guess you didn't hear. TACO, is now says illegals who are working, for the most part, are to be left alone. They are now allowed to stay!!!
Way too funny...

Yup, just too funny

Less turnout due to threat of severe storms and LIGHTNING, with tanks in the parade.
Even those who showed up were leaving after threats of lightning increased.
Looks like more than a few people in this shot, despite what Libtards are claiming.

Meanwhile, protests across America had great weather, but nobody showed up anyhow.
Libtards of Houston claimed 15K, as counted by themselves. IIRC, Libtard conversion formula reveals this was about 900.

No Kings protest in Houston draws 15K
I'm used to inflated attendance estimates, stupid.
That's why I rely on pictures ... and I'm very careful to notice how they're framed
THIS picture shows the most people in Houston
Do you see 15,000??
Me neither.
The remaining pix are very up close..
Son, if there REALLY were 15,000 people there, we'd see drone footage capturing as much of the crowd as possible. It's not like those kinds of pictures can't happen!
Now, THESE are large protests!
MEXICO, AGAINST PROCEDURAL VOTE CHANGE
NEW YORK, 2017 ANTI-TRUMP
WASHINGTON, AGAINST MASS SHOOTING

‘No Kings’ Was Biggest Protest in U.S. History: Data Analyst
For reference, that’s between 1 and 2 percent of the total population of the United States.
By Will Neal | Jun. 15, 2025 3:22PM EDT
https://www.thedailybeast.com/data-guru-g-elliott-morris-says-up-to-6-
million-people-attended-no-kings-anti-donald-trump-protests/
The “No Kings” protests in every state may have been the biggest day of demonstrations in American history, a data analyst has suggested.
“Based on hundreds of crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don’t have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6m people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday,” independent data journalist G Elliott posted to X Sunday.
https://x.com/gelliottmorris/status/1934206799239889369
For reference, that’d mean Saturday’s demonstrations featured 1-2 percent of the total population of 340 million taking to the streets in more than 2,000 cities to voice their opposition to the increasingly authoritarian, far-right policies the president has pursued since assuming office for the second time.
The “No Kings” rallies follow after a spate of demonstrations against immigration raids carried out in Los Angeles and the surrounding area last week, to which Trump deployed 4,000 members of the National Guard and 700 Marines over the objection of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
In a full report on the figures from Saturday’s demonstrations, Morris added that mounting backlash against Trump’s second term has also witnessed “dramatically more protest activity” than during his first stint in the White House.
Since his inauguration in January, Trump’s administration has witnessed more than 15,000 protests and rallies, representing a threefold increase in the number of public demonstrations that had taken place by this point in 2017.
As the nationwide anti-government rallies unfolded, the president attended a Washington, D.C., parade to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army, which also happened to coincide with his 79th birthday.
The White House downplayed the scale of turnout at the anti-Trump protests while playing up the number of people who attended the military parade on Saturday.
Trump’s Director of Communications, Steven Cheung, claimed in a series of X posts that “over 250,000 people” attended the 250th anniversary event, whereas the “No King’s [sic] Protests have been a complete and utter failure with minuscule attendance.”
