@mayorofchicago.bsky.social should direct Chicago PD to arrest the ICE agent who assaulted Fuentes. Every ICE agent who commits an assault in Chicago should be held in the Cook County jail with no bond while any issues concerning qualified immunity and jurisdiction are litigated.

That's because the "agent" in the video was a proud boy or other militia member working at a gun store 6 months ago. Trump gave them all $50k, a badge and their dream job of rounding up immigrants and a license to assault any American who exercises their Constitutional Rights.

In every one of these videos, they snap and are literally shaking with anger as they attack people who are calmly confronting them. They are so badly trained and unprofessional it’s shocking

This guy not wearing a mask makes him the bravest ICE agent and yet is still, like all of them, a pathetic bullying coward. Look at him grab Fuentes, who’s literally just standing there. Look at the hatred in his dumb face.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Breaking: The Pentagon Walkout — America’s Free Press Just Hit the Wall

For the first time in U.S. history, journalists were told to sign a loyalty agreement—or lose access. All but one refused. This is how Project 2025 silences the truth and dismantles free speech.
