After Victor Rodriguez, Any Huamani with the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council spoke.
She said federal immigration agents took over 15 people from Chicago's southwest side today.
She also noted they drove while missing license plates, went the wrong way down one-way streets, and red red lights.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

After the first canceled monthly jobs report in decades, we finally got updated numbers about Trump's economy – and they don’t look good for the American people.
Donald Trump’s chaotic tariffs and failed economic policies are hammering the labor market and harming workers.

Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1
On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
