ICE INVADES Latino Chicago Neighborhood, Tear Gases RANDOM Homes

"This feels like a third world country," a resident told our JT Cestkowski in a scene that resembled a WAR ZONE. Residents screamed as ICE tossed tear gas into random yards and launched flash bangs.

***Status Coup has been reporting ON-THE-GROUND from the frontlines of Trump’s ICE Chicago invasion for over week. This ON-THE-GROUND reporting takes A LOT of resources and we are independent. It is also risky as our reporter and cameraman have already been tear gassed by ICE multiple times and are risking their safety to give you in-the-trenches reporting on the FRONT LINES. It is super important that we grow our paid membership in order to stay out there covering the growing fascism rampant across America.***

The above video is from our JT Cestkowski’s reporting ON-THE-GROUND yesterday in Brighton Park, a majority Latino neighborhood in Southwest Chicago. This occurred hours after ICE agents shot a woman they claim was threatening them with a semi-automatic weapon (they have provided zero evidence of this and have lied about previous violence they carried out against minority community members).

In this video (below), you will see residents screaming and their faces burning in anguish as a cloud of tear gas spreads after ICE tossed tear gas into random yards. You will also hear ICE dangerously exploding flash bangs within feet of residents, protesters, and journalists. Residents fought back as much as they could, throwing bottles and other projectiles at the ICE vehicles as they sped out of the neighborhood.

Together—let’s keep waking up the masses,
