Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader. He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Maybe ICE's goal is in part to make people afraid to go to their legal immigration appointments, causing more people to lose legal status out of fear of following proper procedures, and then they can be deported.
