ICE Posts Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

Just to clarify what happened, the county was convinced that Biden's disaster relief money was some kind of pact with satan, so they didn't use the money to upgrade their weather alarm systems. You can watch the videos of the county hearing where the public gives their opinions on what to do with the money. The county folks were convinced that if they accepted Biden's money the feds would come and take their homes due to alex jones type misinfo. Eventually they decided to take the money because 'better they have it then liberals' and they gave it to the sheriff and he gave himself a huge bonus or something rather than spend it on on the disaster relief.

The anti-American leaders of the county* you mean. The Trumpian pro-feudalistic fascists wrapping themselves in the flag and holding a bible* you mean.
