ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

โ€œHe has Constitutional rights.โ€

โ€œNo.โ€

ICEโ€™s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

Also, bear in mind that, while qualified immunity is a significant issue civilly, that is a very different issue criminally. Perhaps local and state entities need to consider whether criminal penalties should be pursued.

Two Words: Bivens Claim.

You have a 1st Amendment right to say nasty things to law enforcement. While I donโ€™t recommend it, itโ€™s your right. I had to explain this when I was a prosecutor. Mean words are not an authorization to use force or arrest anyone. Itโ€™s protected under the Constitution.

๐Ÿคฃ One of my aunts used to watch them with me and then do scary voices in the dark while I was trying to sleep. Hey! It taught me to face my fears head on.

I wouldnโ€™t recommend it for everyone. I certainly wouldnโ€™t let my son watch those movies when he was my age. But I turned out alright, right? ๐Ÿคช

This is tough. Iโ€™ve been watching horror for about as far back as I can remember. My earliest memory is of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. I remember being convinced that I needed to pull Freddy into my dream so I could kick his a**. ๐Ÿ˜…

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now itโ€™s commonplace.

Thatโ€™s not making America great again.
