#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker condemned the #immigration *enforcement* [terrorism] in #Chicago, saying the #Trump admin was not pursuing criminals but “just picking up people who are #brown & #Black, & then checking their credentials”[if they bother]. Pritzker, who previously announced that Trump was sending 300 #NationalGuard #troops to the city, added the federal agents “are the ones that are making it a war zone.”

“If they tell us to get out, to not cross a certain line, we follow their orders,” Fedorova said. “In this case, it was not clear to anyone that this was a detention at all.”

The episode happened just days after a federal agent at the Manhattan #immigration court was captured on video shoving an Ecuadorian woman into a wall & onto the floor after her husband was arrested.

Video taken by photographer Stephanie Keith showed that during the struggle, another agent shoved Fedorova, who fell backward toward where Elibol lay on the floor.
Fedorova said photographers had worked in the hallway outside immigration court for months without incident. The agents making arrests Tuesday, she said, didn’t announce any limits where #journalists could go, & they hadn’t made it clear they were making an arrest when they got on the elevator.

Moses said the situation escalated when masked agents grabbed him & shoved him from an elevator on the 12th floor as he was attempting to photograph them arresting a woman who had just left #immigration court.

“I walked into the elevator behind them, & they started screaming at me,” Moses told amNewYork. “Then they pushed me, grabbed me by my arms, & started pulling me out of the elevator. I tried to hold on, but I got shoved out.”
