Everything about “ICE targeting Christmas tree farms” is just so deeply dark
🚨🚨 ICE ALERT 🚨🚨
ICE agents have been reported in the Boone (NC) and adjacent areas. They are targeting Christmas tree farms, conducting Kavanaugh stops, and are waiting outside certain stores.
Warn anyone who needs to be. Remember ICE can’t come on your private property w/o judicial warrants.

Phew I made it to O’Hare despite delays since apparently O’Hare (among I’m sure more airports) are limiting the number of planes that land there per hour. I should be counting my lucky stars that my flight wasn’t just straight up cancelled.

These are the Girl Scouts my sister encountered while blowing her whistle to signal that ICE was there. How terrifying for these poor kids.
Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.
"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’
Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

EXCUSE???
Lawyers play a video that was played for Bovino. In it, he tells agents "everybody fucking gets it if they touch you."
"This is OUR fucking city," Bovino tells them.

Several teachers fled with a student and hid in the back of a pick-up.
They were 'terrified of being found. They weren’t sure what was going on. ICE, an attack on the school, they didn’t know.'”

Fucking great. I drive for Instacart on the weekends. (and yes, I worry because even though I’m white, my last name is Latine and they don’t seem to much care if you’re a citizen or not)
ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier).
People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
