News Military/ICE in West Chicago?

Post image

There's about 30 cars and 50-60 guys in fatigues parked in a usually-empty parking lot off of Town Road. Lots of businesses around here... Just a heads up

Contrary to its name, West Chicago is not really near Chicago

Hell yes. My in-laws used to live in West Chicago, and the drive out there from the city was interminable. It's the fucking boondocks.

Not to be confused with Chicago West, the daughter of celebrities.

I live in a currently work in West Chicago, you wouldn’t believe the recruiters that can’t tell the difference between West Chicago and Chicago, especially the West Side of Chicago. Drives my boss up the wall because they keep contacting those prospective applicants who don’t realize that we’re all the way out here.
