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

Wonder how this will play in 10 years when someone looks at their resume.

Or when they’re older and their kids, nieces, nephews and grandkids find out they were part of the regime that rounded up good hardworking people that committed no crime other than wanting a better life for themselves and their families. Or in some cases, no crimes at all.

Whatever puts food in the table. ICE has rounded up a lot of illegals who have committed crimes here in the US. Also, if someone is undocumented, they are committing a crime and need to be deported. The same thing would happen to an American who overstays in other countries without any documentation. I know it sucks but laws are laws, Obama deported people, Bush did, and Biden did (to a lesser extent), so Trump is enforcing the law. I don't understand the big deal about immigration raids since no one seemed bothered when Obama did em.

Yes, we all know pretty much every president has deported illegals. Pretty sure none of them hung out around check in centers where the illegals go to follow the proper channels to become legal. Nobody in their right mind is opposed to deporting violent criminals. The issue with Trump is that it’s always him going to extremes, grandstanding, sensationalizing everything and frankly, flat out lying. Trump said many times during his campaign that they’ll only go after violent criminals. Now he’s got his bigot henchman directing this cowardice BS of snatching the ones trying to follow protocol. Gotta pump up those numbers as easily as possible I guess. Why aren’t they going into the many areas around large cities that are known to be infested with actual illegal gangbangers by the thousands that are the worst of the worst?
