If all 2.7 million residents of Chicago came out onto the street, ICE and the National Guard would run. Do it!

James Dennis Hoff @jamesdennishoff.bsky.social · 3d

This is ICE's official number: 50%!! collateral damage, just like Israel. ICE is nothing more than a state terrorist organization designed to attack and divide the working class, just like cops. We must unite all of our forces against them and all the repressive apparatuses of the state.

Andrew Weinstein @andrewjweinstein.com · 3d

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
