ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

Disrespectful? I would counter that actually busting down a door the way ICE agents do, smashing a car window, or zip-tying children is a lot more "disrespectful" than some guy singing about it.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
