Copy-paste from my personal page. In case anyone has missed the news (which is likely because so few outlets are reporting on it), here’s the truth of what’s happening in Chicago.
Feds/ICE agents rappelled from helicopters onto the roof of an apartment building at 1am and zip tied children. Some of them were naked. They have been separated from their families. Everyone was loaded into rented U-Hauls. The agents trashed the apartments so people returned (if they were released) to completely destroyed belongings.
Earlier today, feds/ICE agents targeted a grocery store and teargassed the street outside because people were honking. There were children on the street. At a nearby hospital, an alderperson was detained and kicked out for asking if the agents had a warrant.
The feds/ICE have started “Operation Freaky Friday” to target possibly undocumented children and remove them from the city. Agents are driving around elementary schools and high schools taunting kids and parents. Some of the schools have enacted alternate release methods to hopefully keep the kids safe.
Broadview continues to be an absolute disaster. The press, first responders, and police have been victims of excessive force, hit with pepper balls, and teargassed by feds/ICE agents. They grabbed a priest by the throat today. They are ignoring mandates from Broadview’s officials.
We are constantly vigilant. We are protesting every day. We are helping each other on the ground by honking, blowing whistles, and shouting on the streets when feds/ICE shows up. We are furious and we will continue to fight and show up for our city in the best ways we can.
Chicago WAS a peaceful city until all these goons dropped in. I don’t care who you voted for right now — if you support this, you need to take a long, hard look at yourself and question why you support CHILDREN getting gassed and zip tied, agents taunting kids at schools, and agents detaining locals for asking perfectly legal questions. What is happening is wrong, whether you are right, left, or something else. Look at this photo of a child being zip tied in the middle of the night, without their parents nearby, and let me know why you think this is fine.
