This report by @rebeccaburns.bsky.social raises troubling questions about the role of the landlord in the federal raid on the apartment complex at 7500 South Shore Drive. Agents "appear to have received advance information about the building’s occupants that led them to target certain apartments"
Eviction By ICE?

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
