I am much more worried about the very real rounding up of immigrants happening right now than anything else. This is something that we have power at the ground level to help with, and our resistance is critical.

This not the first time the US has done this. In the 1950's 1.3 million people were deported to Mexico, not all of them immigrants. The difference between then and now is our access to technology, and our ability to communicate. We can make a difference https://www.history.com/news/operation-wetback-eisenhower-1954-deportation

ICE was turned away from a Chicago elementary school. They were not allowed on site and they did not detain anyone. This is why resistance is important, and how we can actively fight.

Edit: The school district has said that ICE did not come to the school, but Secret Service. This was a miscommunication by the district. The article has been updated.

@itzyg @deafferret I cannot for the life of me tell what this article actually is about. There was no ICE, there was no deportation. This is just an article about confused people confusing other people.

@frew Basically yesterday afternoon CPS reported that ICE came to an elementary school and we're turned away. They believed this because federal agents with Homeland Security came to the school. These agents were not ICE, but instead Secret Service. The district came out and corrected themselves, and I have edited the original post to reflect this.

@frew @itzyg Fair, thanks for actually reading it. I'm on high alert, but as far as I know, it's all fear so far here locally (Omaha)

“I would say the range of emotions is maybe from mild concern to abject terror,” Peck said.
