Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago?

At least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations.

www.nbcchicago.com

Seven weeks ago, U.S. Homeland Security officials began the illegal immigration crackdown in Chicago nicknamed "Midway Blitz."

As of Monday, immigration agents and border patrol officers working in Chicago have locked up more than 3,000 allegedly undocumented immigrants, authorities say, noting the individuals were here illegally and many were wanted for serious crimes.

Even as arrests continue, the question is: Where are the 3,000 people? Attorneys and human rights investigators tracking them are asking where they are and, in many cases, who they are.

Katie Miller had a podcast meltdown and threatened the citizenship of a critic

Miller, who doesn’t appear to have much experience being challenged during an interview, then started ranting at Piers Morgan about how Uygur saying “the Millers lie” is coded language for them being Jewish. After some more screaming, she also told Uygur: “You better check your citizenship application and hope that everything was legal and correct … because you’ll be just like Ilhan Omar,” a frequent subject of Republican attacks.

You can watch the whole thing for yourself but the bottom line is this: the wife of the US homeland security adviser apparently threatened to denaturalize someone because she didn’t like the fact he criticized her.

This, to be clear, is hardly some one-off. Threatening to deport your critics, even those with American citizenship, seems to be Maga policy now. The representative Nancy Mace, a Trump loyalist, for example, has said she would “love to see” Omar, a progressive representative, “deported back to Somalia”.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves

In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states, warns a law enforcement bulletin issued last month by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The bureau urges agencies to ensure officers clearly identify themselves and to cooperate when civilians ask to verify an officer’s identity—including by allowing calls to a local police precinct. “Ensure law enforcement personnel adequality [sic] identify themselves during operations and cooperate with individuals who request further verification,” it says.

Border patrol agent who shot Chicago woman boasted about it in text messages

Records presented at the hearing showed that in a group Signal chat with other agents, which Exum described as a support group, he wrote in part: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes."
When Christopher Parente, an attorney for Martinez, asked Exum what he meant by those messages, he responded: "I'm a firearms instructor and I take pride in my shooting skills."

In Chicago immigration crackdown, agents raid daycare, senior living center

CHICAGO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - A Spanish-language immersion daycare in a leafy residential neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago was raided by federal immigration agents on Wednesday and a teacher was taken away, panicking school administrators and parents of infants, toddlers and pre-kindergarten children at the center, a staff worker at the daycare told Reuters.

Footage obtained by local WGN-TV showed two men, one in a balaclava, dragging a woman out of the colorfully decorated front doors of Rayito de Sol daycare center as she screamed. The men wore vests that said "Police" but no other agency markings were visible.

The agents grabbed the teacher in front of children, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley, an Illinois Democrat, said in a statement. Shocked parents, who said the school had recently told them that all the teachers were legally authorized to work, stood in Rayito de Sol's parking lot in the aftermath of the raid.

"The children were crying, the parents were crying," said Tara Goodarzi, a lawyer who was dropping her 3-year-old off at Rayito de Sol when three agents entered the building. "This is a scene that we’re not going to forget,” she said.

Last week, federal immigration agents targeted Evanston, Illinois, a northern Chicago suburb that is home to Northwestern University, in a sweep that included a raid of a retirement community. On October 31, three U.S. citizens who were watching a woman's violent arrest were shoved into an agent's car and driven around for hours before they were released at an FBI field office without charges, according to a court filing in a federal case brought by journalists and protesters against immigration agents' use of force.

Two days earlier, Don Rogan, a retired high-school teacher, was leaving Westminster Place, a senior living complex in Evanston, when he found the private road blocked by an SUV parked next to a landscaping trailer. Armed men in camouflage emerged from the SUV, and one of them ran after one of the landscapers, who evaded capture by hiding in the bushes, Rogan said.

Of all the fucked up shit going on, this is one of the worse things... The government owes him a shit load of compensation. Even if he's deported, he should go back to India as a millionaire (Not saying he should be deported though).
