"RIOT LA RIOT" spotted in Evansville, IN in solidarity with those on the ground resisting ICE!

The Trump administration has federalized and sent in hundreds of National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles, CA, following ongoing popular protests against a series of violent ICE raids on June 6th and 7th which detained and imprisoned multiple workers from various job sites in military style operations.

This is the first time since the LA rebellion in 1992 that the US government has federalized National Guard troops against the domestic population, however the National Guard have been used by both Democratic and Republican governments in the recent past to target popular social movements, such as at Standing Rock and during the George Floyd Rebellion in the summer of 2020.

These recent events take place amid a growing chorus of action and anger in the streets against heavily militarized ICE raids over the past week, as the Trump administration has ramped up its push for mass deportations. In response, communities have mobilized in opposition, facing off with heavily armed federal agents and local police, who in many instances, have shown up to put down growing protests, often despite so-called sanctuary laws. These actions have lead to multiple confrontations, violent arrests, and angry locals pushing ICE and other federal troops out of various neighborhoods.

More demonstrations are planned on Monday, June 9th, with members of the SEIU labor union rallying in defense of David Huerta and more protests and rallies being called in solidarity with those in Los Angeles.

Spotted in Evansville, IN! "No F*cKing Condos" & "Keep Boxtown Lawless" on and around the historic 200yr old Karge industrial building in the Boxtown neighborhood.

Many neighbors and social media commentary warn of gentrification meant for the infamously rebellious and generational neighborhood, with the "renovation, rezoning, and tift incentives" of this $30 million project labeled as " affordable housing."

Each unit is projected to list up to $236,220 to own, whereas the average income in the neighborhood relies on social security, disability, rental and utility assistance. Boxtown is the second poorest neighborhood in Evansville according to 2024 census.

The public hearing posted on site and in pic - should be an interesting opportunity for civic engagement.
