I need people who aren’t in IL or Chicago, to know 🧊 stalks residents every day. They target & kidnap landscapers, street vendors, kids walking to/from school, construction workers - if they’re brown.
All of this has NEVER been about fighting crime.

Federal agents' use of force during Chicago deportation operations "shocks the conscience," the Trump administration's arguments "lack credibility," and a Border Patrol official lied about tear gas use, a judge ruled Thursday.
Federal judge enters broader order governing feds' use of force during immigration blitz
The judge previously forbade federal agents from using tear gas or other “riot control” weapons against people who pose no immediate threat and without two warnings during the deportation campaign. However, that order was set to expire at 11 a.m. Thursday.

"I think it would be physically impossible to get them to you here in just a few hours."
