In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

What they say while assaulting people is specifically designed to give them immunity (despite already having qualified immunity!) from their actions. The ISP is basically yelling "stop punching yourself" while attacking peaceful protesters.

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

More violent arrests for seemingly no reason. Seeing at least two, sorry don't have exact total.

The crowd here has kept moving backward/everyone is following orders. This is absurd.
