Who are they gonna arrest, lawyers and brokers?

Just a former insurrectionis deploying troops to American cities. Nothing to see here.

And somehow a not insignificant number of people are OK with this…

Literally just arresting people based on how they look.

When you stand up to being profiled and have your life torn apart, they’ll end up gunning you down, blaming you for it, and the ‘justice system’ will back them up.
This country is broken.

If you change just two words, it’s all abundantly clear how this is the new gestapo.

A waste of taxpayer dollars if they are just randomly arresting people.
“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak…as being spit on by the rest of the world.” – Donald Trump on the Tiananmen Square massacre, March, 1990
Never forget that Donald Trump is deliberately trying to provoke a Tiananmen Square-style confrontation. And, that Trump is doing this because his definition of “strength” is a leader ordering the military to slaughter their own people.

Most illegal immigrants aren’t going to be just walking around The Loop. The only people hanging around downtown are tourists, yuppies and commuters. This is just going to result in the harassment of American citizens and foreign tourists for having the wrong skin color.

Ice Gestapo just racially profiling. Any citizen caught up should sue. Immediately.

**Downtown** Chicago?
> Michigan Avenue from Millennium Park toward the Wrigley Building
You mean one of the most policed business districts in the country? The only crime they’re likely to find there is securities fraud.
Might as well have been a pride march for their little military fetish club.

Why didn’t Pritzker have the ICE agent that murdered that man 2 weeks ago arrested?

These are some weird looking NAZI’s.

River boat ice agents and touring down Michigan Ave. This isn’t an immigration mission. If it were they wouldn’t be terrorizing the most touristy and well known area. They want armed gestapo photos in front of the bean to show how tough they are. Bullshit propaganda
Orwells_Roses on
If they’re like this in Chicago they’ll probably be much worse in Portland.
It’s incredible how fast things are changing, our military is being used to invade American cities, against the wishes of mayors and governors.
Kincherk on
This is not a great way to increase morale in the troops. Some of those “DEI” troops are going to feel very uncomfortable going against their fellow Americans based on “how they look.” I’m not sure what this is going to do for the military’s recruiting goals.

The dog walking by those ICE assholes in one of the photos has white fur, so they refrained from harassing it.

Could we use these guys at the actual border? Asking for a friend.

So they admit they’re going to be resting people illegally. This means the police can start arresting them unless the police are actually helping them.
It’s either one or the other.

This isn’t law enforcement, it’s terrorism, similar to what [Bovino was doing a few weeks ago when he tried to intimidate the Governor of California during a speech](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-08-14/border-patrol-conducts-immigration-operation-outside-gov-newsom-event). Posing for the camera, Bovino must be auditioning for a more senior position in trump’s cabinet.
