A U.S. citizen and student was violently detained by ICE near the school in Chicago

They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next.

As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.

President Donald Trump told reporters he did not sign the controversial proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport migrants his administration says are violent gang members from Venezuela. Now many are wondering what did happen.
If Trump didn’t sign the Alien Enemies Act proclamation, who — or what — did?
Did Trump misspeak? Is he trying to deflect a decision under heavy legal scrutiny onto Secretary of State Marco Rubio?

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference
