A driver fired shots at Customs and Border Patrol agents in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS said the border patrol agents were “conducting immigration enforcement operations” near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots.
DHS also said people nearby threw a paint can and bricks at the agents’ vehicles.
If not Nazis, then why Nazi shaped?
“Customs and Border Patrol”.
You mean ICE? Someone took shots at ICE while they were in the middle of a randomized deportation?
CBP is actually even worse than ICE. They’re a lot more militarized. That Chicago apartment building that was raided with an Apache helicopter, with little kids being put into handcuffs, that was actually CBP.
CBP’s operation zone is ridiculous too. They’re “border patrol” but they can work deep into the country.
They are limited to 100 miles from the border, but “the border” counts the shoreline, so in reality 2/3 of the population is in that zone.
I’ve heard that courts have ruled that airports count as “the border” too. So anywhere within 100 miles of an airport. So basically anywhere in the country.
That doesn’t include airports which add any major city not in that red line.
They can go anywhere, 100 miles is just where the supreme court gave them automatic probable cause that anybody in that distance is presumed crossing the border and can be randomly searched without a warrant. Outside of that they just have to remember to lie in court like normal cops.
Except the Great Lakes are mostly part of America. Lake Michigan is completely inside The United States, so Illinois is nowhere near the Canadian border.
Chicago isn’t a border city, it’s a coastal city.
O’Hare is a national hub. Meaning it’s an entry point to the US, so technically a “border”.
now do all of the major rivers connected to the ocean
You misspelled “abduction”
Surprisingly, actually two different agencies. You have CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) which do - customs and border patrol, and ICE (Migration and customs enforcement) which do - mostly immigration stuff.
I also believe that customs and border patrol are one of the few agencies that can legally ID any citizen without pretext.
I could be mistaken though.
Be safe out there, it’s acorn season.
I’m surprised it took this long until they just said they were the target of shootings… It’s not like the trump fascist regime shies away from lying on anything else.
The most effective non-violent action we can take is to organize a General Strike.
The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.
If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one, as most unions have a strike fund that can supplement your income during a general strike to make it more financially bearable (you should also save as much money as you can reasonably do, so it can also be used to keep yourself afloat during a strike).
And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn’t listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above, and they’ll help you set up a new local branch.
Could the mythological good guy with a gun be real?
Big if true
SRA. You can learn to defend yourself without having to be surrounded by MAGA hats at the range.
The Gestapo probably made it up. False flag to justify more crimes against the people
Other possibilities include them shooting at citizens or shadowpeople (I’m not here to judge ICE and their use of the drug with the same name) and scaring each other real bad. Then someone has a video of it, and they gotta write a report somehow.
Dude I’ve seen shadow people out by Santa Cruz, CA and I was California sober back then
So you were smoking weed at the time you saw these shadow people? Not really convincing
Or where they acorns?
I best do numerous roly poly’s then unload my gun into my car whilst shouting “shots fired”.
Meanwhile my partner, who is across the road, will also shoot at the car for…reasons?
IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE!Aah need an amblance
Is there proof of this outside of their words it happened? I don’t believe just their claim alone. They have every reason to lie and not much in the way of morals to refrain.
crisis actors making up fake stories
whiny little terrorists begging for attention
The shooter got mustard and onions EVERYWHERE!
If someone says this happened, just say “fake news”.
Someone must have mistaken them for criminals.
Is it a mistake if you accidentally wind up at the truth?
nothing stops things from happening quite as well as posting the “it’s happening” meme….
