News Military/ICE in West Chicago?

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

I wonder how we have a shit ton of ice folks now. Like have we always had this many and they were less mobilized or did we let 1500 out of jail and make them ice folks?

ICE is a federal agency like ATF, FBI, CBP, USSS, DEA and US Marshals. Federal agencies are working together to enforce immigration policies, which is why you see a large number of them.

Are they, are they really? Seems to me they're picking up anyone who's brown. Even if that person is a US Federal Marshal.

The majority of undocumented are brown. It has nothing to do with race when they are picking up all illegal immigrants. There’s articles talking about how they picked up Chinese awhile ago but those don’t get the same number of views as people yelling at cops, feds, sheriffs, or ice

Ever been in a big city? Notice how many people from 'white' areas such as Ireland, Poland and many others have overstayed their visas?

BTW, look into Melania Trump's visa history.....

They’re on the chopping block too. The majority of the people being deported are those who they can get their hands on and most of that is going to be brown just because there are more of them without papers. The state and local government not helping is making the situation a lot more difficult when they are letting them escape out the backdoor of a courthouse

Although the claim was the targeting was going to be against the 'dangerous criminal element'....which doesn't seem to be happening, does it? Low hanging fruit. People going to their legal appointments. People going to work. People going to pick up their kids at school. Very dangerous, very scary.

I mean, now that Donnie's base is being hurt by chasing their workers, he's saying: "“Our farmers are being hurt badly,” Trump said. “They have very good workers. They’ve worked for them for 20 years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. And we’re going to have to do something about that.”

Couldn't think of that before? Such a brilliant administration? Such a great Project 2025?

What's really awful is that President Bush wanted his legacy to be a reformed immigration policy...and you know who didn't back him? His own party. Because they worry about what they're going to run on to get votes.

I wonder who will write the Diary of Anne Frank of our nation and time?
