Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’
In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Horrifying. Workers kidnapped in Boston, taken to unknown location, those with legal work status can’t prove it because their wallets are in their lockers at work. Do you feel safer knowing these car-wash workers have been disappeared?
With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory.
The details are horrifying.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Look at this guy!
To look at him you'd think this was Fallajuh and he was worried about IEDs and coming under enemy fire,
However this was suburbia and he was probably kidnapping someone from Home Depot.
ICE is as comically ridiculous as it is morally and ethically obscene.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

Appalling lawlessness and cruelty by ICE in Chicago.
Was she undocumented? Here on a green card? A U.S. citizen? WHAT FUCKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? SHE'S A TEENAGE GIRL WHO WAS JUST KIDNAPPED OFF THE STREETS, THROWN INTO A VAN & DISAPPEARED.
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York.
Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️
