A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

Regardless of citizenship, they literally pulled every resident out of their homes at an apartment complex to n Chicago.

Why every single one of us wasn’t rioting afterward in the streets is beyond me.

What would a riot do that those residents were too scared of doing?

Every single one of us should be concerned that ICE is going door to door looking for hidden immigrants.

If they are doing this on US soil can you imagine what they did in the middle east? It's no wonder all those countries are against the USA. Wiki leaks exposed it and nothing happened, Snowden exposed what's going on inside the US and nothing happened. It's a government that has been totally out of control for years

Operation PB success... Cia first operation... F the government

100%. I thought if we saw it happen on US soil someone else would finally care, but it’s just us.

Generally white America doesn't care until it's happening to them personally.

They went so hard against the constitution so early on in chicago. This which is a text book analogy to the story of why illegal search and seizure is in the fifth amendment. England having soldiers come into a community and say there is a criminal so proceeds to break down every door, toss the residences and detaining everyone in the center of town. Last I knew one guy from the complex, which from what I can tell number 100 to maybe over 200 private residences, had a traffice violation and that is the extent of criminals they found. They straight up murdered a guy for driving away in franklin park. Then of course over time they tried to shoot a clergymans eye out, won't tell anyone where people who are grabbed have been taken, including lawyers, filled a woman full of holes who survived by some miracle, won't allow communion or any other religious rite be performed for detainees. Oh and then the random shooting of people with pepperballs and tossing gas canisters around like its one of their ice-mates salad.
