The number of reported arrests is relatively few, but immigrant rights advocates said the operation appears to mark a shift in ICE tactics. Before this operation, local activists said, agents had been targeted in their tactics, presenting warrants at specific homes or detaining people at immigration court. Stopping people on the street in what appeared to be a fairly random fashion is new, they said.

In short, the Supreme Court decision not to uphold an injunction barring the use of racial profiling a basis for arrest is having fairly immediate consequences .

      Get the fuck out of my city

      You and your neighbors will have to force them out.

      You can’t wait for someone else to do it for you.

      The only way they are gonna leaveis if they deem the risk to be greater than the reward. Chicagoland might just be the place that shows us how to tip the balance on that.
