Trump’s Secret Police Wage War On Chicago Citizens
Chicago Alderperson handcuffed by federal agents speaks out as ICE escalates tactics
We need to get this information out. This morning I heard from Alison Gill on the Daily Beans news podcast that ICE agents lied about a woman they shot ramming them. Turns out body camera videos shows ICE ramming the woman, cutting her off and screaming at her “do something about it bitch” then shooting her. I watched on The Majority report as ICE pepper sprayed a school, local police officers, and arrested an alderman official who was demanding to see the warrant in a hospital. Legally ICE is required to have a warrant on private property like a hospital, but they manhandled the woman and arrested her. They were in civilian plain clothes and had no identification. This is the Proud Boy thug gang being let loose on the public with no controls. We are not a free people. Get the word out to anyone and everyone because most mainstream media is not showing this.

Some of the signs read, “Build Houses, Not Bombs.” Kemp signed a letter committing the George H.W. Bush administration to several steps to help the homeless, including setting aside about 5000 government-owned single-family houses for them. |
