Then why aren’t the National Guard stopping ICE from assaulting innocent people? Ice doesn’t have warrants, uses unnecessary violence, doesn’t obey our laws. The guard should be protecting and serving Americans who exercise their constitutional right to protest.

Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.
