What's Happening in Chicago Right Now Should Terrify Every American [View all]

I’ve gotten into a bad habit lately—waking up every morning and checking to see what new horror ICE has unleashed on the people of Chicago.

Yesterday, it was a video of an agent shooting a priest in the head with a pepper ball. This morning? Two guys just having coffee, standing there—when suddenly, ICE agents come running at them. They had to sprint into a building just to avoid getting snatched off the street. Horrifying.

A few hours after I saw the priest video, Trump threatened to arrest Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. ICE raids are ripping through this city. Federal agents in helmets are hunting kids outside schools. And now the President of the United States is openly talking about jailing elected officials.

This isn’t law enforcement—it’s harassment. It’s fascism.
