A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

ICE pulled GUNS on 3 people in the Rogers Park area today. In just a single Chicago neighborhood today, ICE went after rapid responders, "pulling guns on at least three people and arresting one volunteer."

Thanks, New Yorker

“It’s disguised as work requirements and term limits, but in reality it’s a way to strip families of their benefits,” said Deborah Thrope of the National Housing Law Project. “This is a huge departure from how the HUD programs have been run.” By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

People in the complex said they were zip tying kids and they didn't have names or anything. They took you first, then ran to see if you had any outstanding warrants - not just immigration. And the FBI helped them.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

“I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation. from now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour” Trump? Pam Bondi? nope, Hitler bit.ly/44akopT

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Heads up!
