“We were out en masse, like different organizations were out."...
ICE raids at the moment are targeting illegal aliens with a history of criminal behavior. Those arrested in Chicago include illegal alien pedophiles. This makes this campaign to sabotage ICE raids a case of aiding and abetting criminals.
When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities in dark SUVs arrived on the streets that day, another operation began. The community launched its own counteraction: an urgent system of text chains, social-media groups and calls between local leaders.
The response was nearly instantaneous. “Videos are coming in, text messages, people are hitting the street following them throughout the neighborhood until they left,” said Alderman Michael Rodriguez.
On a recent day, the first sign came just after 3 p.m., when Alderman Rodriguez’s phone lighted up.
A sprawling network of community activists began pouring into social-media groups and text chains to track federal immigration officials. The first sightings placed the dark SUVs on the eastern edge of the neighborhood, he said. Then a few minutes later, the same group was spotted on the western edge.
“We were out en masse, like different organizations were out. Some were on foot, some were driving around,” said Jennifer Aguilar, executive director of the Little Village Chamber of Commerce.
Immigrant-rights groups began preparing for stepped-up enforcement right after the November election, said Brandon Lee, communications director at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, or ICIRR. By Thanksgiving, his group made an initial presentation on how to conduct know-your-rights training to its 100 member organizations. It also made plans to turn its immigration hotline into a kind of dispatch center for reports of ICE raids.
A typical strategy is now used among organizers: An individual citizen sees suspicious activity and calls the ICIRR hotline. Then ICIRR dispatches various groups around the city to try to confirm the sighting, take photos and video and offer support to anyone arrested.
The WSJ documents elected officials and members of so-called civic groups being involved in sabotaging federal law enforcement activities.
Little Village Chamber of Commerce.appears to be a 501(c)(6) while the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is a 501(c)(3) or a straight-up nonprofit.
Both are under the jurisdiction of the IRS and the federal government. The feds have all sorts of options here if they choose to take them.
Certainly there are murderers, rapists and arsonists amongst us, but there are mindless warriors in the streets and super geeks in the upper barns of those dairy farms now occupied by the Chinese.
GET paranoid . . . . it is awareness.
Obama promised to fundamentally transform America and that is one promise he has kept. Turning a shining city on a hill into a sinking ship. -Sarah Palin.
ICE SUVs should be painted with random colors.
I AGREE. If these “people” are OUT and interfering with ICE, then they should be arrested and THROWN OUT OF THE COUNTRY!!!
All those who love the Illegals so much, throw them all out!!!
Aiding and abetting a Felon. Track these punks down and arrest them. When the frog marched starts hitting the nightly news problem will trickle down to next to nothing.
“Marching”
Guess Gitmo will fill up quick.
I hope they get the same treatment as the J6 hostages
Trump and Musk’s initial primary targets have been the agencies that distribute grants to NGOs and “non profits”.
Take out the funding and these groups will dry up and die, as their members are forced to get real jobs.
Any one (Citizen or not)thwarting ICE and it’s helpers, or enabling illegals in any capacity are interfering with enforcement of Federal work.
I say make it easier and quicker, by instead of looking for specific ones, just collect and deport any illegal encountered. They are not Citizens, do not belong here and by being here cause harms, costs, to US Citizens daily.
they will likely just reform another sort of business and do similar.
Aiding and abbeting....
Against the law?
"Nonprofits and NGO's exist to give help and tax breaks to Democrat elites and the thugs and goons who prop them up. THERE'S NOT ONE NGO THAT SUPPORTS CONSERVATIVE GOALS IN THE UNITED STATES. NOT ONE - 'NONPROFITS' ARE SIMILAR.
solution: cell phone jammers
The party of democracy and its NGO allies will do anything to undermine democracy.
We can't throw American citizens out of the country, but we pull their tax exempt status as 'non profits'.
Why the hell are American taxpayers supporting these criminals? YOU don't like these people assisting criminals. Me either. Well, let's do something - let's stop supporting non profits, 'foundations' and other democrat thug enablers - using OUR tax dollars. End the 'charity scam, the grant scam, and Soros and Tides ect 'foundations' that do their filth with tax breaks WE pay for...
Now here is an insurrection,
Go after these instigators and their surfs.
They have left a trail of bread crumbs all over the country no doubt
The feds need to arrest several of these activists as well as Democrat politicians in “sanctuary” cities and charge them with obstruction of justice as well as aiding and abetting.
That will get everybody’s attention and get a lot of these LARPers to back off.
