  1. #ImmigrationCrackdown inspires uniquely #Chicago pushback that’s now a model for other cities

    By SOPHIA TAREEN and CHRISTINE FERNANDO, November 16, 2025

    CHICAGO (AP) — "Baltazar Enriquez starts most mornings with street patrols, leaving his home in Chicago’s #LittleVillage on foot or by car to find immigration agents that have repeatedly targeted his largely Mexican neighborhood.

    "Wearing an orange whistle around his neck, the activist broadcasts his plans on Facebook.

    " 'We don’t know if they’re going to come back. All we know is we’ve got to get ready,' he tells thousands of followers. 'Give us any tips if you see any suspicious cars.'

    "Moments later, his phone buzzes.

    "As an unprecedented immigration crackdown enters a third month, a growing number of Chicago residents are fighting back against what they deem a racist and aggressive overreach of the federal government. The Democratic stronghold’s response has tapped established activists and everyday residents from wealthy suburbs to working class neighborhoods.

    "They say their efforts — #CommunityPatrols, #RapidResponders, #SchoolEscorts, vendor buyouts, #HonkingHorns and #BlowingWhistles — are a uniquely Chicago response that other cities President Donald #Trump has targeted for federal intervention want to model.

    " 'The strategy here is to make us afraid. The response from Chicago is a bunch of obscenities and ‘no,’ said Anna Zolkowski Sobor, whose North Side neighborhood saw agents throw #TearGas and tackle an elderly man. 'We are all Chicagoans who deserve to be here. Leave us alone.' "

    How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens

    "Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in #Chicago, arriving in #BlackHawkHelicopters and moving trucks. After they arrived at 7500 S. South Shore Drive, agents from #BorderPatrol, the #FBI, and other agencies busted down nearly every door. Residents were pulled from their apartments in the middle of the night, including children, some of them reportedly naked.

    "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the raid was targeting the Tren de Aragua gang, but 'gave no evidence to support the assertion.' There is little to suggest Tren de Aragua has a significant presence in the Chicago area.

    "The Trump administration described the action as targeting a terrorist organization but declined to say whether it obtained search warrants for the raid. By ignoring legal requirements designed to protect civil liberties, the operation ensnared numerous American citizens who live in the building.

    "67-year-old Roderick Johnson, a U.S. citizen, 'said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.' After telling agents he was a citizen, Johnson was told he 'had to wait until they looked me up.' His requests to see a search warrant or speak to a lawyer were ignored. Johnson 'was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.' "
