Description

Since returning to office, President Trump has sought to reshape Immigration and Customs Enforcement to fit his mass deportation agenda. ICE insists agents use a “minimal amount of force” when making arrests, but video footage shows otherwise. Now with Trump ordering federal deployments into Chicago against the wishes of local officials, Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes says, “This is not about safety or security. This is about sowing division. This is about control.”
