In Chicago, ICE agents were involved in a high-speed chase to pursue an individual. The federal agents then arrested the person in a residential street when protesters gathered in the area. ICE agents used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called the treatment of the protesters “abominable,” saying they were simply “holding signs and expressing themselves.” Meanwhile, Facebook is suspending the popular ICE Sighting-Chicagoland group at the Trump administration’s request. The group has been used over the past month during “Operation Midway Blitz” to warn neighbors when ICE agents are near schools, grocery stores and other community locations. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, county officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over immigration raids.

Janice Hahn: “We will be urging our colleagues today to declare a state of emergency, because what’s happening across Los Angeles County is an emergency. It may not be a wildfire or an earthquake, but it is a man-made emergency created by our own federal government. ICE raids are spreading fear and confusion in every corner of our county.”
