A California councilman drew fierce backlash from MAGA supporters after calling immigration agents "terrorists" and "jackbooted thugs" in a social media rant over the weekend.

Democratic San Diego City Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera, who has served on the council since 2020 and led as its president from 2021 to 2024, sparked controversy over the weekend after posting a photo of armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in tactical gear, with the word "terrorists" scrawled across the image in orange lettering.


"Look at this photo," Elo-Rivera wrote in the Instagram caption. "This isn't a war zone—it's a neighborhood in our city. In San Diego, they've targeted parents dropping off their kids at school, people following the law inside courthouses, and workers just doing their jobs at local restaurants."

He went on to accuse federal agents of carrying out their raids "under the false pretense of safety."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Another fine example of a democrat who supports the rule of law and the people who enforce the law. *****rollingeyes*****
