These guys really do not expect to ever be held accountable for any of this
Bovino on Fox News: "I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

You're not going to believe this but these cops* are out here lying
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

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.

Everyone running this immigration crackdown knows that what has been happening the last few months is wildly illegal but they're just inflicting trauma for trauma's sake and operating under the assumption that nobody will ever be held personally accountable for their actions
A day care teacher was released from federal immigration custody just hours after a federal judge ruled her arrest last week “unlawful."

it's literally insane to me the depth they are willing to debase themselves to protect Donald fucking Trump of all people
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Editorial: Before blaming CPD for overtime, look what this city has demanded of cops
CPD has been making up for understaffing by asking the officers it does have to work more hours. That isn’t a sustainable model.

Chicago Police District Councilor Dion McGill says community members have seen actions from CPD officers that seem to violate the IL TRUST Act, which limits cooperation between state & federal police on immigration enforcement.
"Words like collusion and collaboration are used constantly," he says.
