8. you know i should have gotten that!

the motherfuckers.

I'm in NC and it's been happening here. for a while. but i guess this coming weekend is going to be the big round up. will they putting them all on trains to concentration camps i wonder. all the facilities are full of refugees.

if anything i hope this action affects so many citizens who may have blindly followed trump and didn't even know that people they knew and worked with were undocumented. then maybe just maybe things will turn.

i can be so dense. if it had been all caps i would have picked up on it. but no, i was like, are they in a heat wave? what's up in Chicago!?

6. Rachel talking about it now

She reported Chicago's Mayor has said City officials will not cooperate with ICE raids.

7. yup. she inherited a database of gang suspects

that has been pretty roundly bashed for it's inaccuracy. she said no way they get to touch that.

13. Nazi bastards,

they are going to make orphans out of a lot of kids.

I hate to say this but I bet they are using some of the money that was just allocated for the border, you know the bill that AOC voted against.

be helping ICE.

17. Chicago is NOT helping ICE. Governor Pritzker stands solidly with the mayor. So is the Chicago

Restaurant Association.

19. Are they wearing the generic "Law Enforcement" jackets?

So much pride in their work...
