The post's text reads as follows:
"ICE has no regard for any human life."

"I've seen ICE agents with fingers on their trigger, using real M16s and M9s, pointing them at people."

"They're just trigger happy, and there is no trigger discipline."

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

Yeah, some of them do. And while some of them are transparent that they are MAGA, others parade these same talking points but claim to be independent.

Not sure, but I haven’t. Thanks for this!

The Black MAGA crowd have gotten their talking points back. They are now saying South Shore is no longer a majority Black community and say that apt building was mainly immigrants. They are trying to blame dems in Chicago for the actions of the federal gov., further fueling flames of division.

So DHS is saying we didn’t see what we thought we did.
The dept has not responded to why immigration agents were allegedly responding to a robbery.
