Times are tense in Chicago, where ICE has been a steady presence and drew the nation’s attention after a Sept. 30th raid on an apartment building in the city’s South Shore neighborhood. Residents, including children and elderly residents – Black and Brown – reported being pulled out of their homes in the middle of the night and having helicopters swoop down on the building. Donald Trump has tried to deploy National Guard troops from Texas to Chicago, ostensibly to protect ICE. While that move has been blocked by an appeals court judge, the guard is still stationed just outside Chicago. In the meantime, residents across the city are resisting ICE as they witness behaviors that many call flagrantly abusive and even unconstitutional.
