This is a clear example of racial discrimination.
It’s hard to understand how Americans can tolerate such behavior.
Masked men are approaching women with brown skin on the streets, asking if they were born here and where they come from.
It’s truly heartbreaking to witness things like this.

Its so hard to understand the scope and scale of the Federal attack on Chicago, led by ICE and CBP.
I put this map and table together, highlighting the most significant incidents from 9/19-10/25. The area shown is roughly 30 by 35 miles with incidents in all corners.
