Thank you so much for this video. I’ve heard about ICE and CPB in Chicago, and now I understand what ordinary citizens are experiencing. I’m sure the regime is trying to make an example of your beautiful city, but the citizens are the peaceful people, and gov’t agencies the aggressors.
I plan on going to my first protest since the 60s on Saturday. I’m disabled, and I finally found a place I can attend without having to walk very far. I will remember what they are doing in Chicago, and hopefully remain safe. If not, I’ve lived a long life (85) and I will be doing something I value and enjoy.
Excellent discussion. Thank you. I think the initial reason Trump picked Chicago is because President Obama was from there. His jealousy of Obama knows no bounds. Even in Trumps first term and campaign he would always single out Chicago. Hope the courts can stop the deployment of the military as this is against the Constitution.
Please STOP trying distinguishing "arrest" and "detain." Detaining without allowing freedom to leave IS arrest. It's part of the definition of arrest. Being in cuffs outside your building is ARREST.
arrest isn't simply taking someone to jail. The usage should be "around 400 people were arrested during the action, with only about 37 taken away for further processing and the rest released without charges.
I'm pretty sure the tear gas is for the photo opp. WaPo had a picture labeled "ICE clashes with Protestors" Everyone was just standing there. Not even yelling. Later, a picture wreathed with smoke or gas. The only thing violent was the way the smoke swirled.
As for Chicago Tribune. I at least got a 3 month offer for $1.00 a month. I took it. The day before the expiration I went through the cancellation process. At the end, it asked if I wanted another 3 months for $1.00 a month. So I took it. This might be only if your ISP is way far away from Chicago.
It is very uplifting for me to see such solidarity of support against this barbarism. Not only with fellow Americans, but from Persons of Good Will around the world. For the Truths we Honor go well beyond any man-made border. They run deep and it’s this Kindred Spirit that will rise and become one. I am Hopeful!
The regime is using violence and mayhem on the streets of our cities in order to generate escalating violence in response. Let's not be in any doubt: Trump's goal is to assume plenary power under the pretext of an emergency of his creation. His next step will be to impose martial law. We are burying our heads in the sand if we think we are going to see fair elections next year. Next year?... November 2026 is a whole year away. What about the untold cruelty that he will unleash upon innocents in the meantime?
Yes, we will be out on the streets on Saturday in our multimillions. But let's also call upon unions to declare general strikes in support. What will it take, for example, for air traffic controllers to walk out en masse. We have to bring the country to a grinding halt if we intend to reverse course.
