17. The ICE assault last week was an act of criminal terrorism

Busting down doors & ransacking apartments at 1am indiscriminately -- regardless of citizenship, legal status, or evidence of crime -- hauling everyone zip-tied out into the street, clothed or not, even children.

It would be unlawful for the Chicago police to do that. Why should ICE get away with it? We're not under martial law.

Chicago & Illinois authorities don't need to protect ICE; they need to protect the public from ICE.
