Chicago Residents Resist Trump's ICE Invasion
Chicago is experiencing a surge in chaos and violence due to ICE's presence, but residents are fighting back through solidarity and rapid response teams.
President Donald Trump has referred to Chicago as a "war zone," but for most residents, it's the Trump administration's actions that have made it so.
"I have lived here for 28 years and I have never felt so profoundly unsafe until this week,"
a resident recently posted on social media, attributing the feeling of unsafety not to local issues, but to the presence of ICE.
- ICE's "Operation Midway Blitz" and Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) "Operation At Large" have been launched in the city.
- Residents are protecting each other and challenging Trump's attempted occupation through solidarity and rapid response teams.
