The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

Shocking video shows a chaotic scene on a quiet Chicago street as Border Patrol agents in tactical gear drag a 67-year-old man from his car while children in Halloween costumes look on in horror.

According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.

The incident unfolded Saturday in the city’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say the agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade amid an immigration enforcement operation.

    I cannot WAIT for the hammer to fall. Nazis were not this bad to their own citizens. I read an article that said the Republicans are planning to escape to Venezuela if the mid terms go bad for them. These fucking Democrat pussy politicians better prosecute ICE and everyone involved in this.

    Trump is literally trying to provoke confrontation were none is so he can have a weak ass justification to clamp down harder … just in time for mid terms.

    He is a fucking traitor.

      Really? The relocation to ghettos, the camps, the beatings, and the gold stars/pink triangles were better treatment than this? On par, sure. But better?

        It’s a meme. It appeared to have originated from a rap song, and then was “remixed” by some kid on TikTok saying the line with the “comparative” hand gesture.

        Don’t ask me why kids think it’s hilarious. It just seems pretty “lol random” to me 🤷‍♂️ At least Skibidi Toilet has a fucking hilarious premise and origin (stupid Gmod/SFM video series that is surprisingly deep despite being presented as utter brain rot. Plus toilets are funny.)

    Things banned in #LandoftheFree:

    • Drones (because you must be a CCP Spy or Mexican Cartel member)
    • Radios (because only drug cartels use them)
    • Building electronics gadgets with complex wiring (because Mrs. Karen says she saw an “illegal” with a “bomb”)
    • Perfume (because its definitely drugs)
    • 1st amendment (because bald JD Vance = terrorism)
    • Excercising (because running = crime)

    Did I miss anything?

    [Edit:

    • Doing Algebra on a plane (remember that?)
    • Speaking a non-English language (must be a spy talking to their handler)
    • Hand gestures and sign language (must be gang signs)
    • Tattoos (must be MS-13)

    ]

    Fyi, I would not have dared to make this Lemmy account if I weren’t a US Citizen, but even so, I still wonder when gestapo comes to my door, given how things are going.

    If my account ever becomes inactive, either I forgot the password, or I’m in Gitmo.

      Excercising (because running = crime)

      Dude wasn’t even running. He was in his car just trying to go home after running. Turned onto his street and got pulled out of his car and assaulted.

        So what sort of low risk tactics can we start advising for people in areas where ICE is active? As much as we all want them shot on sight, I think a lot more people are willing to engage them in ways that they are less likely to be arrested and have their lives ruined for.

        Things like snipping tire stems, or paint splashing windshields, are still probably going to get you in trouble, but you have a larger chance of getting away than directly assaulting an ICE agent. But that risk will still deter lots of people.

        I want the Internet tacticians to brainstorm something that my 60’s white mom might be willing to do if she got the chance. Phoney reports maybe? Bad driving and eating a ticket? What can we come up with besides holding signs and recording for social media?

          Rape whistles.

          People have already been using them. As soon as ICE shows up, you start blowing the rape whistle and you don’t stop until they’re gone. This alerts anyone with brown skin to get out of the area and it also draws a crowd. And we’ve seen the videos where these fascist cowards run as soon as the crowd gets too big.

          This alerts anyone with brown skin to get out of the area

          I want everyone reading this to understand how surreal it is to have to type this sentence. It’s a condemnation of how far we’ve fallen as a nation.

            I bought a Fox 40 whistle, 125 decibels. Less than $11. Considering that 1,800 people sent to Alligator Alcatraz are missing, that money might save lives from a mass grave.

          Water balloon with paint isn’t a bad idea. Bad driving that prevents them from getting to their location, also not a bad idea. I think it comes down to context. You’ve really got to consider what’s going on and how safe you are by doing anything. In some contexts, your 60yo mom might get dragged out of her car and kneeled on until 6 of her ribs break. In others, you might be walking by an empty squad car, agents busy elsewhere, and you happen to have a paint balloon.
