‘As an unprecedented immigration crackdown enters a third month, a growing number of Chicago residents are fighting back against what they deem a racist and aggressive overreach of the federal government. The Democratic stronghold’s response has tapped established activists and everyday residents from wealthy suburbs to working class neighborhoods.
They say their efforts — community patrols, rapid responders, school escorts, vendor buyouts, honking horns and blowing whistles — are a uniquely Chicago response that other cities President Donald Trump has targeted for federal intervention want to model.
“The strategy here is to make us afraid. The response from Chicago is a bunch of obscenities and ‘no,’” said Anna Zolkowski Sobor, whose North Side neighborhood saw agents throw tear gas and tackle an elderly man. “We are all Chicagoans who deserve to be here. Leave us alone.”’

It is a racist and aggressive overreach of the federal government.
Note also that it’s an immigration crackdown, not a crackdown on undocumented immigrants convicted of crimes.
It’s why the Trump regime’s immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate, it’s an attack on all immigrants – including immigrants lawfully in the country and immigrants who are naturalized citizens.
It’s a lawless, authoritarian, nativist campaign to keep immigrants of color out of the country.
