Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.
ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions
Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Here to say that since the ICE crackdown, we've seen fewer immigrants in the hospital and have had them leave, even critically ill ones who would die without treatment, due to the fear of being detained and deported.
Furthermore, the current law of the land - the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act - says that ERs cannot turn anyone away based on their ability to pay (or legal status), and nothing that is currently being debated in Congress relating to coverage/benefits would change that federal law

The government is shut down, but we're still here! Take care of each other as regular services that folks need may not be available. If you have neighbors who work for the government, they may not be paid. Check on people in your community to make sure they are okay, especially if this persists.

Though more than 70% of people in ICE detention have no criminal convictions, the administration prefers the phrase 'criminal illegal aliens' for its propaganda.
Looks like Republicans in Congress got the memo.

This is extremely alarming:
DHS announced yesterday that it will begin reimbursing state and local law enforcement agencies for participation in the 287(g) program, which allows them to assist with federal immigration enforcement.
