More federal tear gas in the Chicago area. Homeland Security isn’t keeping us safe. It’s terrorizing us on the orders of a criminal president.
After this, federal agents tear gassed the public on their way out of Elgin, per our photographer who was present. The Feds tear gassed eight Chicago neighborhoods this fall and now a suburb.
In Elgin, ICE agents have been in a standoff with the community as they’re trying to arrest a man. Here’s an altercation between the feds and residents ending with arrest and pepper spray. Video from Sophia Peterson

Toledo-Martinez answered a knock at his door to find a federal immigration agent posing as a construction worker, who claimed to have hit his car.
He went outside and another agent released the dog, which bit him repeatedly. Now Patty Murray calls for his release.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

GERRYMANDERING doesn’t force a person to Vote for one candidate or another. It just stacks the system. The GOP has fucked up beyond repair. All the gerrymandering they do will NOT take away from that fact. People will just not vote for them anymore. It will backfire.
