"I've no expectations: Abp Gomez’s politics will ever fully reflect LA's progressive soul."

But: Gomez saved his most stinging remarks for this Tues in his column for Angelus News. The prelate said of Trump’s raids:🚨“This isn't policy, it's punishment, & it can only result in cruel & arbitrary outcomes.” Accompanying his thoughts was a photo of a young woman holding a sign: “Jesus was an Immigrant” in front of CHP officers in riot gear.

"Miller is the one who really🚨controls the #DHS. He's got much more authority than he'd before, & you're seeing what that looks like if left unchecked."
-M Taylor

A key example: deployment of the MIL to crush anti-deportation at #LAProtests. His "fingerprints all over it." Miller persuaded Trump to basically give him the authority to make some of these decisions over at DHS & essentially override the Dept.

Noem: PR -the role she's settled into.
