"The original goal was to really loudly proclaim that we're not going to stand for ICE destroying families … on Valentine's Day of all days," said Rabbi Aryeh Cohen, who is on the board of an organizing group.

"When the ICE/DHS van came, our group of people decided it was time to put their bodies in front of the machinery of deportation," he said.

the machinery of deportation

That could describe the entire enforcement department -- The Machinery of Deportation.

Machines we are sending to the skies
Above us all
And leave behind those who don't know
Of the final day
We leave in sleep those who don't know
(and) we leave at dawn
We are driven by the B-machine that never stops)

Arrest them and charge them. If ICE fails to do so, it will only encourage them to escalate.

Well, whatever a pendejos is, it looks like they were having trouble getting more than a half-dozen for their puny protest.

At some of these 'protests', the libmedia flacks and paparazzi outnumber the "protesters" about 10:1. You begin to think they're just astroturf, perhaps even hired by the libmedia/paparazzi so they can flack their dismal little non-story and make bank off it.
