First, it was an apartment building in Chicago;

But I wasn't too concerned, because I lived in a different state.

Then, they came to my state, but not my city; so I still wasn't overly worried for my family.

Then, they came to my city, but only the downtown area; I was much more alarmed, but I lived in a house in the suburbs.

Then, one day they were in my neighborhood, blocking off streets and going door-to-door...

for illegal immigrant "criminals" while ICE was making up shit...............

National Guards and Marines were called up.....................

protests erupted. Corporate media made big deal out of it, mainly in favor of shithole and comrades...............

Now they are arresting immigrants of all ages, many legal, most with no criminal records, most now with no due process, disappearing thru illegal deportations to God knows where. Concentration camps where they are being inhumanly treated.

POC are the majority of this. At this time Latinos/Latina.

Blue cities are under attack, the terrorism is real. The economy sucks, rights and healthcare being destroyed, job loses, racism, hatred is alive.

This is the first city under attack, it's spreading across the country.

And ICE agents can be sure their tires will be slashed if they don't watch their vehicles, as many don't. It's been done before and will be done again.
