Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

University of Chicago researchers found that for every 1 percent increase in eviction rate in a given census tract, there were 2.66 additional shootings there. City officials said that the study “affirms that everything from affordable housing to poverty rates has an impact on community safety.”

Across the city, high-pitched whistles have become an unlikely soundtrack to the Trump administration's "Operation Midway Blitz" deportation campaign. Residents use them to warn neighbors when federal immigration agents are nearby.
To stand up to ICE agents, some Chicagoans are arming themselves with whistles
The plastic whistles have become a way to loudly resist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and warn those who may be in danger.
