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.

More on microplastics:

They're "released from exposure to heat," like when you pour coffee into a foam cup, brew a cuppa in a tea bag that has microplastics, & wash polyester fabric on high heat.

So "keeping your plastic away from heat is a low-hanging...

Microplastics are everywhere. You can do one simple thing to avoid them.

The biggest sources of microplastics have one thing in common: Heat.

This video from Fox32’s helicopter shows how devastating it can be to deploy tear gas in a residential areas.

The thugs once again used it against protesters and Chicago PD… not to mention anyone living in the vicinity.

This is Chicago’s South Side.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.
