Little Village community organizer Chela Garcia starts the demo by calling out Chicago police for, she says, shielding federal agents as they attempted to detain a minor this weekend.
"Every time police collaborate with ICE, they are not serving us. They are serving a racist agenda," she says.

It makes me so angry because an entire "crime" panic has been generated in Charlotte purely from X shitposters.

Turning off replies because I'm not interested in debate.
I'm right.
Also, don't tell me that the state cops protect us from ICE when I was personally brutalized by ICE in the presence of a mob of state cops. Police do not protect protesters. That's simply not how they exist in relation to us.

I realize that it's part of the governor's strategy to keep the National Guard at bay, but facilitating a violent, occupying force to keep another arm of the occupation at bay is not the only strategy, and it's one worthy of critique. Also, all state charges against protesters should be dropped NOW.

"We're clubbing people for their safety. We're arresting people for their safety. We're disappearing people for safety. We're tear gassing people for safety."
No one is safe until all of that comes to an end.

Speculation is that ICE could be trying to move people out to clean the holding cells and to set up cots to comply with the latest judicial order to address inhumane conditions inside the facility. The judge is currently scheduled to inspect the facility Thursday morning.

I'm really tired of being told by elected officials to ignore my eyes and ears on a daily basis.

Since Midway Blitz began, ICE and Border Patrol have ripped people out of cars and buildings, disappearing thousands; deployed chemical weapons against whole communities; abused - per ongoing legislation - press and clergy; and held people - per more litigation - in inhumane conditions at Broadview.
