Federal immigration agents appear to have targeted Chicago tenants in “deliberate and systematic ways.” They’re still searching for answers about their landlord’s role in the raid.
I had heard (though I’m not sure how reliable the information was) that the landlord had been wanting to tear down the building but was running into tenant opposition. If true, this is the same as it ever was: a bunch of inhumane farms, factories and slaughterhouses would call in immigration when their undocumented workers started complaining about conditions and pay, knowing they’d never be held to account for hiring and abusing them.
