How Maricopa County, Arizona, Was the “Model” for Local Police Carrying Out Immigration Raids

Federal agents deployed #TearGas on #Chicago residents & more than a dozen #police officers Tuesday [in defiance of a #CourtOrder], the latest clash in the nation’s 3rd-largest city as the #Trump admin has carried out its #immigration *crackdown*.
The clash began Tues morning when #FederalAgents were seen chasing a car through a working-class, heavily Latino neighborhood on the city’s far South Side, witnesses said.

As the agents left, they released #TearGas, apparently without warning, sending people coughing & running for cover. Among those affected by the gas were 13 #Chicago #Police Dept officers, CPD said, & at least one officer was seen rinsing his eyes out with water from a neighbor’s garden hose.
A spox for #DHS said that the federal agents were conducting an #immigration enforcement operation when 2 people tried to flee & hit the agents’ vehicle [#lies].

Chicago #police officers, who have been called to the scenes…[by protesters], have been exposed to #TearGas from federal agents twice in the last 2 weeks.
As the intensity of the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown has risen, residents of #Chicago are increasingly pushing back with fury.
In the last several weeks, Chicagoans have formed volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal immigration agents, posting alerts on Facebook & in Signal group chats when agents are seen.
