They “left” LA, but it’s worse than ever there, at least according to LA Taco ➖
& the same for DC where Feds AND National Guard ⬅️ are still ”arresting“ people
The media might not give it the BOVINO-celeb coverage, but it’s not lessening anywhere. Always worse when attention is gone from a place 👀👁️👀

Very true. We have to stay skeptical and vigilant. Showboating or not, it’s still terror.

I really hope North Carolina doesn’t experience this.

If it’s weather related this may just be temporary.

I don’t want to think it’s as arbitrary as the weather. We just had a winter storm but who knows. They seem unpredictable. I also wouldn’t discount the need for certain weather for their tactics.

It really has. It is not an exaggeration. Beyond words really what people have experienced. Especially for certain concentrated Latine communities but much of the city has felt it in some way. Has felt like we’re at war.

I also don’t want people to let their guard down.

Also I think we are past the point of viewing things like reporting perceived sightings as people "panicking." We have heard what happens in Broadview, all the various ways people are taken on the streets. Its not panic when its reality.

oh very true. That would understandably lead to certain conclusions.

Confirming what something wasn't is just as important to me. Helps people understand what was taking place or not.

They have clearly targeted certain towns with high Latine populations though, like Elgin and West Chicago, and of course, Little Village.

Yes, this is correct. It's random grabs off the street. Landscaping crews, day laborers standing outside Home Depot. As far as how they decide where to go, that's a good question. If anything, it seems like they purposefully hit places far apart from one day to the next to keep people off-balance.

They literally drive around my neighborhood and stop anyone who is brown. I've followed them and this is what they do by me. They chased two elderly Chinese women down the block last week.

the scope of the feds’ invasion cannot be overstated. this isn’t limited to chicago or even cook county.
Understand that he's talking about distances of ~50 miles apart here.
feds have also been seen at or abducted people from bensenville, blue island, glendale heights, and mount prospect.
