Not a single charge made in that apartment raid in Chicago. (From Maddow on Bluesky)

So all the helicopter rappelling stormtroopers zip tying kids was just a farce?


"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

People are just political pawns and expendable props in the Trump Reality Show.

you will find very little in charges filed for any of these detained or deported people. Like the fishermen in blown up boats they have no evidence. Just lock them up or kill them trials or lawyers be damned.
