Yeah the chemical warfare and violent kidnappings of innocent people is so fucking crazy, arrest the paramilitary thugs.

Frame from a video of the ICE goons tear gassing a whole block near 105th St and Ave N. It shows two people pulling a baby in a carseat from a car and running away from the area that ICE just deployed teargas in. On the left you can see someone ducking as another tear gas cannister is launched over their head.

Read the patches. It's BORTAC, the same guys who shoved Portland protesters into unmarked vans in 2020 and failed to stop the Uvalde school shooter soon enough in 2022.

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.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

My report:

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’

The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.
