Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.
ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.
The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.
Chicago is a truly great city. The perfect mix of homey and cosmopolitan. We’ve got good home cooking from around the globe, people who don’t just want to be in a city but want to be in their neighborhood in their city, and a vibe that’s both no-nonsense and neighborly. I’d die to defend it.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

If you see local law enforcement assisting ICE by arresting protesters, establishing perimeters, or otherwise responding to ICE activity, FILE A COMPLAINT and send us video/photos

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.
important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT:

there's this assumption by the admin that there is an infinite supply of buff KKK members ready to fill the ranks of the military and ICE and I have bad news for them both about the overall number of KKK members and their general fitness level

Military rule will bring profound and lasting harm to all of us. Conservative and Liberal Americans reject it. We the people reject it.
