    As a Chicagoan, I am more angry and infuriated for my neighbors harmed by these fascists than I can describe. Fascists sent 300 fucking masked goon ICE/federal “agents” to drop *from helicopters* on to a residential building to raid it in the dead of night yesterday. They claim it was to target Tren de Aragua members (as usual “evidence” is slim). Please make this story viral. This is mortifying. It’s no doubt the illegal + criminal military style invasion of U.S. cities Trump meant talking to generals this week about “testing grounds.” We will not let fascists terrorize people.

    “Some 300 federal agents, per NewsNation, raided the building, arresting 37 people, with the Department of Homeland Security alleging that “some of the targeted subjects are believed to be involved in drug trafficking and distribution, weapons crimes, and immigration violators.”

    Agents rappelled in from helicopters, broke down doors, used flash bangs, tore tenants from their units, and detained several people—including numerous U.S. citizens—for hours before leaving the building ravaged, according to multiple reports.”


    Pertissue Fisher, who lives in the building, told ABC7 Chicago that ICE agents forced everyone out and only asked questions later. Fisher said she was handcuffed and questioned before being released at around 3 a.m. The officers, she noted, “just treated us like we were nothing,” and, “It was scary, because I had never had a gun in my face.”

    Another ABC7 interviewee ducked upon hearing flash bangs denote, and was then distressed by the sight of children detained. “They was bringing the kids down too, had them zip-tied to each other,” she said. “That’s all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where’s the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’”

    …”reports described the building’s hallways as strewn with “toys, shoes and food,” with doors “blown off their hinges” and “holes left in walls.” In one room, per Block Club Chicago, zip ties sat on the floor beside blood stains and baby shoes. Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol commander-at-large, told NewsNation, which embedded with the federal agents for the operation, that it went “very smoothly.”

    Oh, okay. I guess that’s why the constitution ceased to exist at that location.

    All good then /s.

    Everyone has to understand that this is the new normal living under the Republican Reign of Terror. 

    Masked, unidentified secret police will kick in doors without warrants, abduct men, women, and children and disappear them. 

    John Roberts told them they could do it. No warrants needed. Skin color is probable cause for now. Soon it’ll be your voter registration.

  4. For all the whining about the constitution they have no problem picking and choosing which part to follow. This is horrific.

  5. This should be the front page of every single newspaper worldwide and the lead story of the new on TV but in America the freedom of the press has been suppressed. The elected representatives that support him better wake up because it won’t be long before he doesn’t have a use for them and throws them under the bus

    Disgusting.

    And yet just yesterday in another thread on Reddit Politics I had somebody tell me that I was a hyperbolic doomer for saying that the US has been taken over by fascists.

  8. Would be a shame if the information of those working for ice were to ever be released. /s

    Our country legally abuses and traumatizes children who will be scarred for life. We are deplorable.

    What they are doing to our most powerless IS PRACTICE FOR WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO YOU.

  11. Nothing will be done until more Americans cannot ignore the consequences. The economy needs to fall hard and cost of daily living needs to be more out of reach. Or the People who give a shit drop the we will march between the hours 2p and 5pm then peaceably fade away to ensure the maximum ease of being ignored.

  12. Remember the boston marathon bomber where FBI agents were searching homes looking for the guy and republicans were freaking? Back then we were legit looking for a killer. Obama was president back then.

    Now we are knocking down doors trying to lock up kids and republicans are ok with this. See anything wrong here???

    ACLU needs to get their thumb out of their ass and file lawsuits. I pay my monthly dues, which comes to about 10 minutes worth of time.

  14. This makes me sick to my stomach… The article says, “children were zip-tied together… one child was naked.” I am physically nauseous reading it.
    Why would they treat CHILDREN like this?

  15. Fuck these masked MAGA goons.

    I don’t understand why the “No Kings” protests aren’t at the ice facilities.

  16. Lawless child abusers.

    Surely payroll records exist for ICE. One day these assaulters will face justice.

  17. Didn’t Pritzker say he would hold legally accountable any who agent who broke laws? What can Pritzker do here to get justice for this?

  18. We all knew their claim that they do things for the kids is a big fat lie but here’s more evidence
