This isn't a crackdown on immigration. They're using tear gas on U.S. citizens engaged in protests protected by the 1st Amendment.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 9h

As the intensity of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has risen, residents of Chicago are increasingly pushing back. Federal agents repeatedly have been observed releasing smoke bombs, tear gas and pepper balls to disperse residents who gather or capture videos.

ICE Is Cracking Down on Chicago. Some Chicagoans Are Fighting Back.

Residents have begun forming volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal immigration agents. Others honk their horns or blow whistles when they see agents nearby.

Man, if you’re going to use the an article about how the Republicans are using slurs in the group chat as a way to get mad at Democrats you should probably take a break for a while.
