Under the order, private businesses can choose to display signage indicating that ICE cannot enter without a warrant—thereby designating “their property as part of a city-wide network of community spaces that stand together in affirming the safety, dignity, and belonging of all of our residents,” the mayor said.

Johnson touted the order for building “a broad civic shield that limits the reach of harmful enforcement practices. It strengthens neighborhood solidarity and it reaffirms Chicago’s role as a welcoming city.”

    My great-grandfather would lose his shit if someone had told him that feds would be invading states against the wishes of the local governments. We forgot what America is supposed to be.

      My grandfather fought actual Nazis, sometimes I ask myself what he would think of our political situation today.

      I don’t know what happened to all the pre Rand Paul libertarians that everybody thought were paranoid talking about government overreach in the 90s?

      Federal agents dropping from a fucking helicopter to an apartment building in Chicago, kicking down doors, zip tying crying children, keeping people they just pulled from their homes in cuffs for hours without letting them contact a lawyer, and raiding the entire building like fucking pirates to steal peoples valuables is so fucking far beyond “overreach.”

        They’re keeping us separated by race. As long as it’s “inner-city thugs” aka black people or latinos, the majority of rural America can handle it until it’s too late especially if they only consumer curated propaganda. Well, that’s what they hope. the people in charge of this are actually pretty fucking stupid though. Let’s show them how wrong they are.

          Started with immigrants, definitely moving towards targeting people in inner cities to test the waters, then based on that recent memo next is “Antifa” or anyone opposed to the Trump admin.

          People still refusing to see this are in for a hell of surprise when they wake up to a swat team raiding their suburban and rural homes, and find out wanting the Epstein files released means you’re also an official member of Antifa.

            I’m an eternal optimist as long as I can breathe air and feel love. I think they’re moving too fast. I think they’ve crossed their Rubicon and what’s waiting in Rome isn’t what they think it will be.
