On Saturday in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang was abruptly aborted after Lang was swarmed by local residents and counterprotesters. The robust community response to the rally underscores the unpopularity of Trump’s “mass deportation” policies and attacks on immigrants.
So what I’m reading is outside agitator paid by “them” provokes peaceful protesters.
You gotta love these fascists coming from a all over the country to your local community to tell you guys that your neighbors (or maybe even just you) are criminals even though they know jack shit about your community
This is all about spreading hatred and fear, like a disease, and all these Muppets have already been infected
The only real solution is to eradicate the disease
Jake Lang is a Mossad agent attempting to steer neo-Nazi hate groups towards anti-Muslim sentiment.
imo, he got off extremely easy in this situation.
Minneapolis, Minnesota folks have proven themselves on the world stage for dealing with the fascist felon and his cronies. I expect all other states have taken careful notes.
Meanwhile, racist fascist Jake Lang has earned the brainless and dubious distinction of an entry in the history books. Notably with the image of him gripped in fear as he’s surrounded by Americans.
Woke is back fam! Get fucked nazi!
Ha, not so big and tough are you?
People like Jake Lang, talk a tough game, but they’re secretly pussies underneath.
Don’t besmirch the good name of pussies like that.
Yeah. Pussies can at least take a hell of a pounding and enjoy it.
Yes, would not eat Jake Lang
While most Minnesotans expressed joy at Lang’s aborted rally, fascists around the world fumed that police did not do a better job of protecting one of their own and lobbied for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, a threat he made last Thursday in response to community resistance to ICE kidnapping operations.

Good to know the WSWS isn’t against violence on principle, just who it should be directed at.
I hope once the Socialist Equality Party finally gets a foothold on political power in the US they can make further progress by running their opponents out of town.
We will only be truly free when our ideas are free from interference by others.
Just one? It’s a start.
Good, I was just starting to run low on asparagus piss
As a none-native speaker, please help me parse this article:
a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang
A racist organized a rally that is
- pro-immigration
- (anti?) ICE
- anti-Muslim hate (so essentially pro-Muslim?)
Why? I’d expect him to do the opposite.
Prior to the event, Lang promised he would burn a Quran on the steps of Minneapolis City Hall,
That sounds distinctly not anti-Muslim hate. So is it a [anti-Muslim] [hate rally]? Then I am not sure why it’d be pro-immigration at the same time?!
Pro-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement),
Anti-muslim,
hate-rally.
I can see the potential ambiguity for a non-native speaker with the articles phrasing.
Now that you mention it … of course! Thanks!
It’s saying the rally was in favor of ICE and opposed to immigration and Muslims.
Yeah, but then why does it say “pro-immigration”? To be a proponent of something means supporting it. And those people hardly support people immigrating to their country.
The “immigration” in there belongs to “Immigration and Customs Enforcement”, which is the full name of ICE. So it’s saying that he’s pro-ICE, or pro-[Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. The hyphen is a bit confusing there.
It is poorly phrased.
a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang
ICE is short for “Immigration and Customs Enforcement”.
The next part is even phrased worse.
Anti-Muslim hate-rally would be a better phrasing, but “hate rally” is a weird phrase already. A good editor would have dropped “hate” from the phrase entirely.
So, rephrased: “a pro-ICE and Anti-Muslim rally”
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement” —abbreviated as “ICE” — is the organization that he supports. He’s not in favor of immigration, he’s in favor of the organization that traditionally enforces immigration laws, in other words anti-immigration.
Also worth noting that this organization’s mission has been skewed from simply enforcing the laws into “kidnapping people with tan skin or or who have an accent” and generally being a modern version of the Nazi “brownshirts”. So that is what he is supporting.
Your error was just parsing him as pro “I.” when he is actually pro “I.C.E.”
He is in favor of immigration enforcement, not immigrants.
- Pro-immigration and Pro-ICE
- Anti-Muslim. Burning their Quran is definitely part of that.
- He’s a racist.
- Pro-immigration, Pro-ICE, racism, Anti-Muslim are all from the same mindset that drives all right wingers in the US.
EDIT: The distinction here is that Pro-immigration translates to “Pro-deportation” in right wing colloquial expression.
Anti-immigration.
Pro-ICE.
Anti-Muslim.So just a general piece of shit.
You’ve described conservatives perfectly.
I hope I’m not the only one that resists throwing up in my mouth when one speaks.
Pro-immigration […] drives all right wingers in the US.
I am not sure, I fully understand. Because being a proponent of something means you support it. So pro-immigration people are in favor of others immigrating to their country, and that’s certainly not what the fascist want? They want immigrants, illegals, aliens (whatever they call them) out of the country so they are anti-immigration.
Yes I think Jumbie mistyped, “anti-immigration” is correct for the right-wingers, or as I call them the Wrong Wing.
The only way they could be called “pro-Immigration” is if you’re using “Immigration” as a short name for ICE and US Border Patrol and Dept of Homeland Security together in general. As we in Los Angeles sometimes call them “la migra”. Because although they have different jurisdictions, undocumented people have to run/hide from all of them.
This is correct and also (as I tried to clarify above) interchangeable with the rightwingers wanting to deport all non-whites.
I apologize for the mistake.
I specified above (I should have initially).
To a US rightinger scumbag, immigration is interchangeable with deportation of the browns.
