US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

This post would be wild coming from a blue checkmark bot. Crazy from the feds. There’s essentially no truth here. Violent rioters aren’t demanding the release of some of the worst humans on the planet. Govt records show most of these folks detained are low public safety risks.

Here’s a great example of Homeland Security and Tricia McLaughlin propaganda not being true. They’re going around claiming credit for Chicago experiencing the fewest summer murders since 1965. That was true and reported locally before Midway Blitz even began.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

The Department of Homeland Security released a statement about this incident. They deny targeting the daycare and claim they tried to pull the vehicle over but she ran into her workplace to barricade herself along with another man in the vehicle

Under oath, Gregory Bovino testified that he did not use force against a protester. The government claimed he was assaulted. Video showed the exact opposite. Great details from Jason Meisner on this curtain raiser for tomorrow’s hearing www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/04/i...

This is a disturbing court filing: A top ICE official “shockingly answered ‘No’ when asked if he agreed ‘agree that it's unconstitutional to arrest people for being opposed to Midway Blitz?’”
