This Isn't Law Enforcement. It's Terror.
You know us.
Thats the very first line of a powerful new public letter from a group of retired, well respected Chicago broadcast journalists. Their letter protests the months-long ICE/CBP terror campaign in our city. Published last week in the Chicago Tribune, it forcefully calls out the horrors we have seen in our streets. Its a considerable break with long standing fact based journalism practices to remain objective about news events, but the situation here is so grave that these journalists felt they had no choice but to speak out.
The 26 people who signed the letter are a whos who of Chicago TV and radio news journalists with over 500-years of broadcasting experience between them. Together, in this unprecedented letter, they reminded Chicago of that important bond between journalists and the communities they serve:
For years, you watched and listened to our coverage of the Chicago area. As journalists, we did our best to bring you accurate, objective information about the people, events and issues that mattered. We hope we gained your trust. So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong.

(15,206 posts)Bravo to Phil Ponce and all who signed the letter stating that the ICE operation in Chicago is not law enforcement, but terror.
