In response to ICE's increased prescence in our city and Trump's announcement that federal troops will be sent to Chicago to protect ICE agents, we will take to the streets tomorrow to make it clear: the people of this city do not want federal forces in our communities!

Today we protested and marched 500 strong to demand ICE OUT OF CHICAGO!

We protested at Daley Plaza, right across from the office of States Attorney Eileen Burke to say STAND UP TO ICE!

Protestors lead the march with two banners: one reads "No Trump, No Troops" and the other reads "Close the Broadview Ice Detention Center! Legalization for all! CAARPR's Immigrant Rights Working Committee" and has an image of a monarch butterfly

In addition to protections from Immigration enforcement, the Mauser workers are also fighting for a fair rase to keep pace with inflation, consistent hours and breaks on the job, and employer-provided uniforms to protect employees from bringing toxic chemicals home to their families.

Since going on strike, these brave workers have drawn attacks from Fox News and other racist enemies of the working class. We must support them in their struggle!

90% of the workers at the Little Village Mauser processing facility are Chicano or Latino, all of them work a hard job to feed their families, and none of them have crossed the picket line in over 90 days.

Coalition Against the Trump Agenda @chicago-cata.bsky.social · Sep 8

This morning, September 8, CATA forces joined the Mauser workers from Teamsters local 705 who have been on strike for three months demanding a fair contract that includes protections from ICE raids in the workplace.

The moment we see federal troops in our city, or any significant increase in militarized forces, we'll call an emergency protest to take place at Ida B Wells and Michigan Ave. We don't know exactly when troops will arrive, so the exact date of the action is TBD.
