Speaking via translator, next man up describes his experience being pulled over by CPD and prevented from observing Border Patrol in Edgewater in December.
Agents called 911 several times and lied about him trying to ram their vehicle.

May 4, 2024. Tactical units called in to a pop up student encampment for Gaza at the School of the Art Institute. These cops would typically be driving around the south or west sides doing "proactive" policing (harassing mostly Black residents). They dress like this as an attempt at urban camo.

Protesters and ICE watchers are gathering again outside immigration court this morning, where ICE agents have been kidnapping people after mandated hearings in downtown Chicago.
Sessions have been canceled (and arrests prevented) multiple times this week due to their presence.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Those who are saying that the United States is now a lawless state have not been paying attention. Supporting the lawless Israel as it committed genocide is only the most recent example. Europeans are only shocked that this lawlessness is now being applied to them.
