TELL CONGRESS: Trump is unleashing violent, masked ICE gangs in Chicago. Last week, a
vicious ICE raid on a single apartment building led to the arrest of 37
people and kids separated from their families. Trump’s ICE terror must
end. Sign the petition: End Trump’s mass deportations and violent ICE raids!

ICE conducted a horrific military-style raid on a Chicago apartment
building last week, detaining and questioning every single resident,
separating children from their families, and spreading terror through an
entire community.^1
“I’ve been on military bases for a good portion of my life,” said Darrell
Ballard, who lives near the building. “And the activity I saw – it was an
invasion.”^2 Chicago residents are warning neighbors when ICE gangs storm
through the streets. They’re asking when ICE will leave, but there’s no
end in sight for Trump’s violent “Operation Midway Blitz.”^3
The White House continues to escalate its far-right deportation dragnet
across the country. Congress must stand up to Trump’s masked gangs now.

Tenants of the raided building said every single person was taken by ICE,
immigrants and U.S. citizens alike. “It was scary, because I had never had
a gun in my face,” said one tenant brutalized by ICE agents. Trump’s
masked gangs detained four children who are US citizens.^4
Apartment by apartment was left in shambles — shattered windows, hallways
lined with people’s belongings, lamps and wall hangings thrown down by
Trump’s forces.^5
Since September 8th, ICE’s invasion into Chicago has led to 800 arrests
and spread terror throughout the entire city.^6
To identify targets for their raids, ICE is using spyware, surveilling
social media, and demanding that Big Tech companies like Meta share
private user data.^7 It’s clear that the Trump regime will do everything
it can to come after immigrants and people opposing its authoritarian
agenda.
Congress must finally take action to protect immigrants and all
communities from violent ICE terror.
