Chicago Residents Resist Trump's ICE Invasion
As ICE brings chaos and violence to Chicago neighborhoods, rapid responders are protecting residents and challenging Trump's occupation by fighting fear through solidarity.
President Donald Trump and Chicago residents may agree that the city is a "war zone," but for most Chicagoans, it's the Trump administration that has made it so.
"I have lived here for 28 years and I have never felt so profoundly unsafe until this week,"
a resident recently posted on social media, attributing the feeling of unsafety to the Trump administration's actions, rather than gangs, crime, or other issues.
- ICE's "Operation Midway Blitz" and Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) "Operation At Large" have been launched in the city.
- These operations have brought a military-style presence to Chicago, leading to fear and resistance among residents.
