LA protests live updates: Marines will be deployed in response to immigration protests
President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 2,000 more National Guard members in addition to 700 Marines responding to immigration protests in Los Angeles.

So...how close are we to that point where other countries open their doors to us under asylum laws? I mean, Trump's siccing the military on people and it's not even 6 months into his term yet.
There exist countries that have already offered safe haven/asylum to US'ians... Especially to LGBTQ.
Links, please? I haven't seen anything suggesting that, yet.
I'm probably OK. I'm straight. I'm White. Though I am agnostic and don't buy the State Religion behind Project 2025.
My wife, however, is Black, Bisexual, and Pagan, four strikes, and now I'm a race traitor for having married her, so there's my strike.
Just to point out it doesn't matter how white you are if you say something they don't agree with.
I mean, take a good look at Luigi and how hard they're trying to blame him. You don't get much more white than Italian. Maybe Scottish, but it's close.
I mean, I actually think it is very possible to be more white than Italians—they weren’t even considered white in America until the last 100 years or so.
Yes, this. I'm quite sure if I ventured back to the place where I grew up I could find more than a few people that would consider Italians as non-white.
Which is kind of funny when I think about the casual racism that was thrown around by my Italian immigrant Grandmother when I was a kid.
You forgot about the discrimination of Italians in America.
Just like US was no fan of Irish immigrants either.
Really just pick a country and at some point the US has probably discriminated against people from there.
Ask a white supremacist if Italians are white
There is a lot of anti-Italian sentiment. Especially South Italian, where folks start looking much darker in skin
Or do something they don't agree with. Like marrying a Black bisexual pagan woman.
Or even look at them wrong.
My google-fu hasn't up to this point. In fact, I get lots of results saying that Americans are not welcome as asylum seekers in my googling. Your single link only shows places that take American immigrants, not places welcoming American refugees. In fact, New Zealand is suffering from a Conservative-inflicted recession that is making things difficult for immigrants and natives alike, and Australia has some serious restrictions on immigrants (a close friend of mine did that route and barely made the cut). And Canada? Despite a victory for the Liberal Party and 'elbows up' regarding American rhetoric, they still have lots of people angry about how immigration has been handled.
If you actually have links to help get victimised people out of the USA, maybe instead of 'why don't u google it urself', maybe post those links. That's FAR more helpful than the whole 'go do it urself!' response. :)
Just go North. That was key in slavery and Vietnam. And today.
I think there is a gross overestimation of the support that is available. I've seen a lot of bad articles copying and pasting different parts of immigration policy and programs but without understanding how it works as a whole.
Like, Canada has a website about helping LGBTQI+ refugees ( https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/about-refugee-system/2slgbtqi-plus.html ) and it includes partnerships with groups like Rainbow Railroad who can refer people in need of resettlement to the refugee process.
But if you only look at that and fail to consider the safe third country agreement, you're giving false hope.
Taking in refugees is not very popular at the moment.
Just like the 1930s. By the time countries will open their doors to the oppressed in the USA, we'll be rolling our own ovens here.
Bullshit. It is popular.
But the two sects of the big one party are both anti people
