Chicago protester: The National Guard is not welcome here. Crime is under control. Military occupation doesn't make our cities safer. Resources and investment in community makes our city safer. My family left Eastern Europe because of the pogrom.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

The Trump regime is not merely attempting to provoke violence. They are attempting to provoke either civil war or acquiescence to Trump dictatorship by blue state governors. We will soon find out whether the regime will ignore last night's court order against deployment of troops. 1/
