Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.
It’s about making the US accustomed to state violence on the streets. Because that allows going further. They do not give a shit about crime or ethnics. Only power and expanding it through suppression. Doing this to “illegals” first is just a way to not make enough people resist.
Just like actual Chicago crime figures are entirely irrelevant. Facts are not driving this nor are relevant to a huge portion of the population. The question is about being able to deploy the army where Trump wants and who can resist that. To figure out how strong his regime is. So far, the limit is far from reached.
