www.threads.com/@cbschicago/... ice is a terrorist criminal enterprise tampering and concealing evidence of a felony.

A key piece of evidence in the assault trial of a Chicago woman who was shot by Border Patrol agents in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood is no longer in the state of Illinois.

This is from @cbschicago reporter @asalrezaeitv this morning who was simply doing her job. It comes one day after journalist Steve Held was detained and then released.
An ICE agent took a direct shot at my car today.
Absolutely unprovoked.
My window was open and chemicals went all over my face.
Been puking for two hours.
There was not one protestor in sight, I was simply driving by to check the scene out like I have been for weeks, about 50 feet from the entrance.
Local authorities along with my news org are taking this very seriously.
More to come.🖖
