Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.

U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.

Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.

This is the reality of Trumpโ€™s deportation agenda.

It was always about cruelty.

Every single day Trump sets the agenda for the media. Today's it's his announcement that the US military will be attacking Portland. Why? All to stop Americans and the media from asking more questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files and his involvement in a massive child sex ring.
