It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

ICE is using your tax dollars to target children.

A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year.

We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The ICE raids taking place in our communities and the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago are not at all about public safety. They are about political theater.

We will not let Trump get away with this. Not in Chicago. Not anywhere. Not now. Not ever.
