Pertissue Fisher, who lives in the building, told ABC7 Chicago that ICE agents forced everyone out and only asked questions later. Fisher said she was handcuffed and questioned before being released at around 3 a.m. The officers, she noted, “just treated us like we were nothing,” and, “It was scary, because I had never had a gun in my face.”

Another ABC7 interviewee ducked upon hearing flash bangs denote, and was then distressed by the sight of children detained. “They was bringing the kids down too, had them zip-tied to each other,” she said. “That’s all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where’s the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’”

A witness of the same name told the Chicago Sun-Times it was “heartbreaking” to see “kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers.”

Witness Darrell Ballard recalled seeing the agents use a “big, 15-inch chain saw” to cut down a fence. “We’re under siege,” he said. “We’re being invaded by our own military.”

“We’re being invaded by our own military.”

ICE is to the military what the Gestapo was to the Wehrmacht.

One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’”

And that person's identification was . . . oh right. Well, then I guess we don't know not to shoot them? Anyone can dress up like that. Standing our ground or whatever? Maybe that's only Florida.

I'm GLAD the People PROTECTING Jeffrey Epstein's Child Raping Friends are KIDNAPPING Children WITHOUT Oversight!

I don’t know whether to downvote or upvote this. I’m pretty sure you’re being sarcastic, but I’m still actively repulsed by the sentiment.

BigMacHole is known for their satire of parodying the way donald Child-Raping trump likes to talk/type. It’s their shtick.

I think they're 100% being sarcastic.

He said, ‘f*** them kids.’”

Somebody wants to become President...

Sooooo many holier-than-thou types for years tried to convince me that we're all more than just smarter, more violent apes and that we had convictions, and civility deep down. This only solidifies in my mind that I am right. Somebody shit in our dollhouse, and here we are - back to this shit.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Protest Voters: I'm uncomfortable condoning/approving of Genocide deniers/enablers and billionaires lapdogs

Republicans: You think those guys are bad? Hardcore Christo-fascism, Go!

Me: We need to come together and stop Christo-fascists.

You: Hey, protest voters, this is your fault.

You: Hey guys, remember those fucking stupid assholes that didn't vote for the guys are who letting Trump walk all over them now? Can you believe they didn't vote to stop Trump?

You: Just in case you forgot, those guys who didn't vote blue no matter who are fucking jackasses and should be ashamed of their conscience.

You: Don't forget those "protest voter" idiots! It's their fault, am I right guys?

You: I feel really powerless right now because nobody, including those blue people I voter for, is coming together and standing up to the fascists. At least I'm not as stupid as those protest voters! It's all their fault! Yeah, that's right, go home - LOSERS! HAHAHA!

Me: Stop splitting the left.

You: I'm just saying people should vote, that's all.

That's a lot of unhinged strawman. Should've said this last time: ciao.
