CHICAGO (WGN) – ICE arrested more people in Chicago’s western suburbs Wednesday and a dramatic raid in Naperville caused a chaotic situation, according to witnesses.
Witnesses said federal agents appeared to target a suburban roof repair to the distress of workers and many Cress Creek residents.
The agents converged on a two-story home early Wednesday afternoon without warning, sending roofers running in all directions.
Bobby Fischer said his Naperville home has a giant hole in the roof and no one to fix it after the ICE operation sent roofers running in all directions.
“Our neighbors witnessed agents with guns drawn running down a residential street, which seems irresponsible,” Fischer said.
He and his family were not home when ICE arrived as they were out celebrating a birthday. They came home to an abandoned work site with all the roofers inexplicably gone.
Neighbors quickly caught the Fischers up on what happened.
One of the roofers, who did not want to reveal his identity, told WGN-TV the ICE agents were heavy-handed, in his opinion, as they took many of the roofers into custody.
“They commenced to attack us, to throw us onto the ground,” the roofer said.
That roofer, a 32-year-old father, is still shaken and was barely able to finish his conversation as he was overcome with emotion.
“Some of them are fathers,” he said. “It’s very hard what is happening. It’s a lot of harm that they’re doing to us.”
Fischer wishes agents could have used more discretion and done this at a safer location without putting the roofers or the neighborhood in harm’s way.
“There shouldn’t be anything wrong with guys making a living. I don’t care if they’re documented,” Fischer said.
WGN-TV reached out to ICE for comment, but has not yet heard back.

I think it's likely that they eventually try to arrest someone like AOC or the prospective Democratic nominee for president in 2028.

Given that they already, as evidenced earlier in the thread, tried to obliquely say AOC was part of a conspiracy to have CK offed, I'd say that's likely to happen WAY before 2028.
 
Of course Disney does this literally two days after the wife and I decided to visit for our anniversary next month.
 
Not only that, but Hell seems to have frozen over, and Tucker Carlson actually said something I agree with in calling out Trump/MAGA for using CK as an excuse to further their agenda. We need more folks on/near that side to call them out.

Saw this photo online and it made me chuckle:

100 percent. It is jarring when that happens, but I'd love to see more of it. At least plant a tiny seed of doubt/questioning into the viewer's minds.

Pulled the plug on Disney+/Hulu this morning. Bending the knee to an authoritarian regime is not something I'd like to support.

It feels like such a feeble gesture, but I canceled my Marvel Unlimited subscription that was set for its annual renewal next week. I've been subscribed since 2016. Sent them an email telling them why.

I went to cancel Disney+/Hulu as well only to discover I'd already canceled it last week trying to save a few bucks as things get tighter. Protest thwarted!
