Trump's Tear Gas Hell

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Chicagoans are rightly furious that ICE is here pulling people off the street, arresting bystanders, intentionally targeting clergy and journalists and trying to sow chaos in this otherwise peaceful city. Now we also have a flurry of unwarranted tear gassing across the city.

Journalists are not just covering the outrage on our streets, they are covering the ongoing court battles as well. Their work is helping hold the federal government accountable when it lies in court, when it defies judicial orders, and when it seeks, by force, to go beyond what it is permitted to do by law.

Here are some of the news headlines from the past few days in Chicago:

Federal Agents Use Tear Gas Again, Disrupt Northwest Side Halloween Parade

Lakeview Street Tear-Gassed By Agents Amid North Side Immigration Surge: ‘It Hit Home’

Teachers Scrambled After ICE Released Tear Gas Outside a Chicago Elementary School

Federal agent throws tear gas canister from SUV on busy Chicago street

These headlines tell a frightening story about an American city under attack by an American president. The reporting belies the federal government filings in both the 7th Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. If facts and evidence eventually triumph over propaganda and ideology, much of the credit will go to what reporters and the vigilant residents of Chicago are doing in this crisis.
