U-Haul and Budget vehicles are being used by ICE to carry out raids in Chicago.

Transporting both people and firearms is a direct violation of their rental terms.

Are they okay with their vehicles being used this way?

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

More confirmed ICE activity in Chicago this morning. Reported shortly after 10 a.m.

The Wicker Park / Humboldt Park neighborhoods both have large Latine populations; this is as about as deep into the city proper that we've yet seen agents cruising the streets. bsky.app/profile/bmes...

Spooky action @ distance 🎃 @bmeson.lucyparsonslabs.com · 24d

CONFIRMED: ICE activity in Maplewood and North in Chicago’s Wicker Park / Humboldt neighborhood. Just saw a neighbor kidnapped.

This brazen attack on an American city is illegal, unnecessary, and seeks to further erode our democracy.

Many NW Chicago officials are standing with us against Trump’s use of the National Guard and active-duty Military.

To date, over a dozen alderpeople, IL state reps & senators, and county commissioners have signed on to oppose this action.

Read the open letter here: letter.indivisiblechicagonw.org

Opposing the Military Occupation of Chicago

See the dozen+ Chicago alderpeople, IL state reps & senators, and county commissioners who have signed on to unequivocally oppose this action.

Dear Northwest Side Neighbor,

We, Indivisible Chicago Northwest, and elected leaders representing the Northwest Side, unequivocally oppose the Trump administration’s threats to mobilize and deploy the National Guard and active-duty military to Chicago.

This is an alarming attack on states’ rights and an insult to the will of our local governments and residents, bringing extreme risk and fear to our immigrant and homeless communities in particular.

We are a nation of laws, and the law is clear: the U.S. military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement purposes (Posse Comitatus Act of 1878). Federal law outlines extremely limited instances in which the President may deploy National Guard members—specifically, in response to an invasion, insurrection, or when the President is unable to enforce federal law through conventional means—none of which apply to Chicago (10U.S.C.§12406).

Contrary to Trump’s characterization of Chicago, the city has seen a historic drop in crime. In the first half of 2025:

Violent crimes fell by 22%

Shootings fell by 37%

Carjackings fell by 49%

Want to save democracy? We need more people to pay attention.

Calling out impacts to everyday life is a good way to get non-political folks to start questioning what's going on.

Thanks for the reply! The focus of this campaign isn't on swaying Republicans. It's on people who don't pay attention to politics, don't vote, or voted Trump based on vibes but aren't MAGA.
