A loud explosion... a helicopter is very nearby... people yelling... then your door is kicked open. You are out of bed by combat battle dressed people with masks and rifles and helmets and bulletproof vests. Screaming and yelling! You are totally disorientated.
Palestine? Iraq? Afghanistan?
No.
It is the South Side of Chicago!
"It was heartbreaking to watch," said a neighbor who described seeing "buck naked" children getting separated from their mothers during the raid on a South Side apartment building.PeopleBy Janelle GriffithOctober 2, 2025NEED TO KNOW
- The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents from various agencies arrested 37 people without legal immigration status during an overnight raid, plus at least one U.S. citizen
- Eye witnesses described children, including some who were unclothed, being separated from their mothers and held in vans
- Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have condemned the federal response, saying it is not making the city safer
For months President Donald Trump threatened to escalate immigration enforcement in Chicago, and this week those threats came to bear in a dramatic way.Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, the nation's third-largest city by population. Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down doors, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from their apartments, residents and witnesses told the Chicago Sun-Times.A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people without legal immigration status, including some with criminal records. The spokesperson claimed the South Shore neighborhood is "a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates.""Due to the size of this operation, DHS law enforcement is continuing to gather more information on those arrested and will provide more information when available," the spokesperson said. "Federal law enforcement officers will not stand by and allow criminal activity flourish in our American neighborhoods."
Yes — they say 37 people without legal status were arrested.
But let’s ask the real questions:
- How many were actually hardened criminals?
- How many were real members of Tren de Aragua?
- How many were arrested for minor offenses — or no offenses at all?
- And how many U.S. citizens were illegally detained in the chaos?
This wasn’t a law enforcement operation — this was the ICE equivalent of a perp walk.
A show of force designed to terrorize communities... helicopters. Flashbangs. Drones. Rifles.
Federal agents used flashbang grenades to burst through the building and several drones and helicopters were deployed, neighbors told the Sun-Times.
Really! Was that overreach? There are some reports that over 300 federal agents from many branches took part in the raid to get 37 people who may or may not be guilty of anything.
you should be glad they are arresting criminals you are another one who cares more about the illegals then the american people
ReplyDeleteWell we only have ICE word that they are criminals and their word doesn't mean much now a days.
