Jones, who lives on the 4th floor, said most of his neighbors were #Venezuelan & often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it.

“They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.”

Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young #children.

The feds also claimed the South Shore neighborhood was “a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates,” but #DHS gave NO EVIDENCE to support the assertion, & authorities did not confirm that any of the people arrested were members of the Venezuelan gang.

On Wednesday, toys, shoes & food were still in piles in the building’s hallways. Property managers were seen throwing mattresses & broken doors into dumpsters.

#DHS said federal agents with #CBP, the #FBI & the #ATF arrested 37 people in the raid. DHS said some of those arrested “are believed to be involved in drug trafficking & distribution, weapons crimes & #immigration violators.” [sure, whatever]

When he got home from work, Dan Jones said he entered his unit to find all of his electronics & furniture missing, & all of his clothes & shoes thrown on the floor. Jones said he had no idea who took his belongings & hadn’t received answers from #Chicago #police [probably because they had nothing to do with it].

“I’m pissed off,” Jones said. “I feel defeated because the authorities aren’t doing anything.”

#Armed federal agents in #military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, #women & #children from their apartments, some of them #naked, residents & witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the 5-story building, & #UScitizens were among those detained for hours.

It is even more extreme than the #Trump policy of sending immigrants to a brutal prison in #ElSalvador, based on questionable claims that they belonged to Tren de Aragua & without any chance to contest the government’s claims. The #US, created in opposition to #monarchy, should never become a country where the president can order the indefinite imprisonment or the unilateral killing of people merely because he has deemed them to be criminals.
