Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, told Fox News that Chicago will be one of many places across the country where federal authorities plan to make arrests.
“We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens, that’s what’s going to happen,” Homan said Friday. “What we’re telling ICE, you’re going to go enforce the immigration law without apology. You’re going to concentrate on the worst first, public safety threats first, but no one is off the table. If they’re in the country illegally, they got a problem.”
In reality the US depends on honest hard working immigrants to do essential but dirty work and keep the economy going. No way they can or want to deport up to 10 million people!

Along withothers we invite you to join in the festivals of resistance continuing after Donald Trump took office. This is a crucial opportunity to engage in outreach, and resistance to militarized racist expulsions…

But from Texas to the West Bank, millions of people’s lives are getting even harder. We owe it to each other to meet the second Trump era side by side in solidarity.
The chaos that will accompany the return of the Trump administration represents an opportunity as well as a challenge. This is a chance to assert an autonomous pole of organizing, carrying forward the lessons of 2020 and the movement against Cop City while continuing the fight against patriarchal violence, white supremacy, and colonialism.
We need to welcome new participants into these struggles and foster a revolutionary perspective that can orient us through the challenges ahead.

If we all pull together, showing everyone who wants to resist that there are movements that they can join, we can begin to build the strength that we will need to overcome the challenges ahead.
