Urge your elected officials to stand up against ICE
ICE is terrorizing our community. From abducting immigrants and subjecting them to inhumane conditions to brutalizing protesters for exercising their First Amendment rights, it is time to hold ICE accountable.

Someone in my local mutual aid society “fixed” my laptop by replacing the battery. When I started it up, the keyboard didn’t work and when I attempted to restart it, it died. It’s currently a paperweight. Anyone here in Chicago who can help me with this? As a self-employed person, my laptop is my office.

“With one voice, we are telling this unwarranted & #unconstitutional occupation by #ICE & potentially by #military #troops to get out of #Chicago. You are not helping us,” #JBPritzker declared.
#BrandonJohnson likewise condemned the aggressive ICE presence in downtown Chicago, saying residents are “shocked & appalled” by the sight of federal agents on city streets. “This stunt has nothing to do with public safety. This is about #politics, #money & #power,” he said.

#JBPritzker blasts plan for #NationalGuard deployment to #Chicago
#Pritzker says the #Trump admin is giving the go-ahead to send troops to Chicago, a move he & Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson called #unconstitutional & politically motivated.
The news comes as #Illinois joined other states in filing a lawsuit against the admin for withholding #PublicSafety & #DisasterRelief funds.

The governor also expressed deep concern for the safety & well-being of #Illinois residents. “Our small businesses suffer when our residents & visitors who are shopping & eating are made to feel unsafe by the jackbooted thugs roaming around a peaceful downtown. #Parents are now scared to send their #kids to #school, for fear the #troops will grab their children. Students are afraid they’ll come home & find their parents have been disappeared by #ICE. This is no way to live,” he said.

#JBPritzker said #DHS had notified #Illinois that a memo was sent to the Dept of #Defense requesting “the deployment of 100 #military #troops to Illinois claiming a need for the protection of #ICE personnel & facilities.”
The Democratic gov, who has been in contact w/ #Oregon ofcls, noted this was the same type of communication previously sent to #Portland, before the #Trump admin authorized 200 members of the Oregon #NationalGuard to perform *federal functions* there.
“It’s a pretext for bringing #troops into the city & normalizing the #militarization of our cities, & we just won’t allow that,” said #JBPritzker during a press conference from his state offices in downtown #Chicago.
Of the federal #immigration & customs agents already operating in #Illinois, Pritzker accused them of wreaking “chaos” & “havoc” across communities. “They’re not targeting violent criminals or gang members. They’re arresting tamale vendors & delivery men & shaking down families.”

Before 800 generals, admirals summoned to #Quantico #Trump delivered operational guidance for #domestic #military deployment. Speech outlined cities as “training grounds,” a Quick Reaction Force for “civil disturbances,” and new rules of engagement authorizing retaliatory force against #civilians. #Chicago #LA #sf #NY named specifically. The #doctrine marks a strategic pivot from #overseas operations to what Trump called “the #enemy from within.” #Americans are now the enemy not #russia #china

There doesn’t seem to be a clear point or purpose in Trump’s speech to the #military generals. He has talked about #tariffs, #Biden & the autopen #ConspiracyTheory, the southern #border, CNN, his personal feelings about #Putin & his thirst for a #NobelPeacePrize.
Trump said he told #Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas within the US. Then he talked about deploying the #NationalGuard to #Chicago & #Portland.

Trapped in "War Ravaged" Portland!
Some call #Trump a prize hog at a county fair rolling around in his own filth. An irascible, impotent airborne virus good for horse flies & untethered syphilis.
A cogntively-cured retch building a mephistophelean society for his black-heart, burrito-sack body"
