1. Fake

Trucks used to block off street festival, nothing to do with ICE

2. How do you know it's fake?

It looked like a legitimate clip to me.

4. I've never seen that many trucks for a street fest.

Those trucks weren’t in Grant Park when I drove through at 6pm while the fest was ongoing.

The trucks were lined up at 11 pm on my way home.

3. Unfortunately, they are not going to try to block them.

Their local Sheriff could, but they won't.

5. This was shown to be fake yesterday

8. So why did Joy Reid post it? ....

And 50501?

[Kaleva]

9. I cannot answer that as to why they posted it

Has any other sources confirmed this to be true?

10. I just used the Snopes bot.

It says it's satire. The problem with using the bot is it draws from everywhere on the web and the web is not reliable enough anymore with more than 50% of the reported news being disinformation. This makes all AI/Bot queries suspect.

I'm going to delete it. Just cause it's already made the rounds here. I have read support for and against. But the discussion here seems to have been played out.

Last night, Chicago's mayor deployed every salt
truck in the city to block ICE. Because when the
forecast calls for ICE, you salt the roads until it
melts.
