Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday.
They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances.
The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship.
