ICE pulled GUNS on 3 people in the Rogers Park area today.
In just a single Chicago neighborhood today, ICE went after
rapid responders, "pulling guns on at least three people and arresting one volunteer."

We don't know how many people they took. The last update I got from a source I trust was between three and six, and they weren't even entirely sure about that range. ICE was also far more aggressive with our rapid responders today, pulling guns on at least three people and arresting one volunteer.

People in the complex said they were zip tying kids and they didn't have names or anything. They took you first, then ran to see if you had any outstanding warrants - not just immigration. And the FBI helped them.
NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.
A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
