I cannot think of anything in the history of that building - in the public eye at least - that was more absent of "decorum and respect" than Trump's little double act with J.D.Vance the last time Zelenskyy was there.

Trump WH says its prepared to “ride out” the shut down. That translates to: This was planned. It was never meant to be short…and…oh yeah…we are going to f**k things up even worse during this period of time.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.
