ICE Agents swarm North Side neighborhoods in Chicago Friday Morning

There was a troll post on this board a few days ago mentioning that ICE agents weren't in "Ravenswood and Andersonville," and calling these "uber-liberal Chicago neighborhoods." Maybe that fucking dipshit had a hotline to ICE.

This morning ICE made arrests and caused multiple problems all around these areas of the North Side of Chicago, particularly in Ravenswood and Lincoln Square. Both of these are relatively well-off and majority white neighborhoods about two to three miles north of Wrigley Field. ICE was literally detaining landscapers and harassing others who they came across. This is a change from the areas they've been flooding thus far (in majority Latino neighborhoods on the South and West sides).

Here's a story:

Has just become a way to harass cities and neighborhoods that don't support Trump

That's pretty much the entire city. I don't know anyone who voted for Trump here. And of course the immigration thing is a farce. It always was!

I live in the neighborhood and this is insane. I'm not sure what neighborhood in Chicago isn't liberal, but whoever that troll is should be ashamed of themselves. They better not hurt any of my neighbors! I live just a few blocks from where this happened.

This is an abomination. Those who executed these raids should be taken to The Hague.

Before you begin a journey of revenge, first dig two graves.
