A facility in Broadview, a mostly Black suburb, has become the site of escalation and ‘targeted attacks’ on protesters

In recent weeks the Broadview facility has become the site of escalations by federal agents against protesters and journalists. Videos of agents deploying tear gas, pepper balls and roughly throwing protesters to the ground have gone viral, amidst the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

The Trump administration targeted Chicago with federal law enforcement starting in August, falsely claiming there had been a rise in crime in the city in recent years.

Since then, there have been increasingly aggressive reports of ICE enforcement in communities, including helicopters hovering over apartment raids. There have also been arrests of local officials and candidates for office who were protesting, including Illinois’ ninth congressional district Kat Abughazaleh, who went viral with a video of an ICE agent slamming her to the ground, Daniel Biss, the Evanston mayor, and a city alderman who were aggressively arrested while trying to advocate in a hospital setting.

I live in the Chicago area (close to the city, but not the city itself) and ever since August 16 or so (when the Air and Water Show was), I’ve heard helicopters hovering or flying over multiple times daily. I’ve lived in my house for almost 10 years and never heard a helicopter during that time until now.

It’s an intimidation tactic. It’s mood audio, ya know, to increase everyone’s anxiety.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I figure it’s part of intimidation and scouting. It just makes me want to resist even more and it’s training me to hate the military. I have a military family covering every branch of service and I just want to disown them all for not speaking up or doing anything to counter narratives.

I too have a military family, and it’s ok to be angry at them.

The inherent integrity of the military has changed a lot over the past two or three generations, but the blind worship of the military has not.

What would most people have said to the soldiers who committed the Mai Lai Massacre? Or the Abu Ghraib tortures?

“Thank you for your service.”

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 16 minutes ago

Thank you, and I agree. I appreciate this post and your take.

Has crime disappeared yet?

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I’m still committing it by being liberal minded and having diverse neighbors (Asian, Pacific Islander, Indian, Iraqi, Black, Polish, Latino/a) on my street.

People are still shoplifting on occasion and speeding or blowing red lights (and the stop sign at the end of my street).

So, no.

This is the Gestapo we are in a genocide. This is the consequence of having all the people and businesses involved in helping Isreal exterminate an entire population in charge. This is what they learned and trained to do.

I sure hope somebody is backing up all that footage. The tribunals will require it later.

FASCIST TERROR SQUAD.

Wake up America, this is a fucking disgrace and the opposite of “Land of the Free, Home of the brave”

  • This is the “Home of the fucking cowards!”

Land of the fee, home of the slave.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What's wild is that it took all this for people to just only start to understand.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

Tbf, the US has a lot of fine qualities (both real and imaginary) and the most advanced, well-funded, and (until recently) well-functioning propaganda apparatus in the history of the world, so it's not THAT surprising that a lot of people subjected to it since birth have been successfully duped..
