They took innocent people out and zip-tied their hands.
Children, I might add.
And a number of these people were US citizens and others were legal residents of the state of Illinois and the United States of America.
And yet they were held for hours.
And these ICE agents, first of all, I don't think they really have been trained in law enforcement.
that our cpd chicago public uh sorry police department as well as our illinois state police we know that when we're targeting gang members and we do this with dea and with fbi also we target them we we determine where they are in a building and then we make sure that we keep innocent people away from that area and we protect them while we go in and take people out
That's not what happened here.
We had over 100 agents attacking a building.
It looked like Fallujah.
And one other thing, they set up dozens of cameras for social media purposes ahead of this, and then they used all of that footage
to turn it into this sort of, I don't know, adventure-looking thing for Kristi Noem's social media so they could, I'm not sure, advertise the idea to what people joining ICE?
I'm not sure exactly who they were trying to convince, but it all looked like BS in their social media.
It was BS, in fact, on the ground.
And the result is we have traumatized children.
Of course.
We've got elderly people, again, who are held for hours.
We've got an entire community around this building who's wondering like, are they next?
And this is what's happening all across the city of Chicago, this kind of trauma that's occurring in our communities.
People are afraid to go outside.
They can't walk their kids to school.
