Mine took down the giant light-up 'MAGA' over their garage that's been there for years 🙌

Pretty big 'if'

This is... wild. It also makes me worry they're going to end up terrorizing Waukegan and North Chicago, where there might not be as many resources for grass-roots protection.

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."
