ICE just arrested the father of a special needs child — during his job as a landscaper with a work permit. 
 
This is what is happening in Chicago. ICE is targeting hardworking parents with kids who need them.

The Trump shutdown is now officially the longest government shutdown in American history, with no end in sight.

Trump's agents have been snatching people off the streets without due process — and over 170 US citizens have been caught in the mix. Outrageous and unacceptable. The lawlessness must end.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Deplorable
The Trump/MAGA Project 2025 plan:

Destroy the Affordable Care Act

Defund Medicaid

Eliminate the federal workforce

And give tax breaks to billionaires

They don’t care if 17 million people lose insurance

Or if millions more will see their premiums double

And that thousands of Americans will die

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.
Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.

It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.

Trump won't even meet with them.

He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.

What a bad deal for America.
