How SCOTUS Sanctioned a 'National Assault on Community'

Friends,

This is an important statement from long-time activist, Edward Kissam:

On the night of September 30, residents of a Chicago apartment building woke to the sounds of federal agents storming the building, some allegedly landing on the roof from a Blackhawk helicopter whirring above. Doors were kicked in, homes tossed, whole families—including citizens and babies—were zip tied and marched to buses waiting outside.

One eyewitness described the scene to CNN:

“They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other…”

The Administration, which has already deployed National Guard troops to the city, alleges without sharing any evidence that the building was a known hangout for members of the Tren de Aragua criminal group.
