I have seen some posters claiming the Chicago ICE raid was unsubstantiated

[orangecrush]

That there was no footage.

2. "This is what I voted for!" "Thank you ice" "America can't thank I.C.E., FBI, and Border patrol agents enough! "

Take a look at right wing media and you'll get an idea of what the other side is seeing and saying.

8. Bush 43 made a similar lie near election day in 2004.

He claimed there was a successful combat action near Fallujah, Iraq. Actually, the battle was yet be engaged. It indeed turned into a fierce battle which did not end until six weeks later.

11. I just finished dinner, no way am I looking those sewer sites up

[dflprincess]

3. I still say using Budget & U-Haul trucks

Has Proud Boys written all over it.

[CivicGrief]

4. Stand back and

stand by. (Still can’t believe this debate answer was not called out for what it was: a call to arms.)

[travelingthrulife]

5. Yes. And u-haul said they would not allow this any longer.

[Hekate]

6. Do you think thugs would hesitate to lie? Could be that U Haul is being lied to by renters.

[SunSeeker]

25. Of course ICE lied. Now that it has been documented, Budget should never rent to ICE again. nt

9. UHaul's Reservation "Advisements" tell you not to.

https://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/ReservationAdvisements.aspx

Customer and any Authorized Driver shall:

Require passengers to ride only in the cab of the U-Haul Vehicle or Tow Vehicle towing any Towable Equipment;

I'm sure these guys take it seriously.

[SunSeeker]

26. UHaul should never rent to ICE again for violating the rental agreement.

Just like UHaul stopped renting to a neo-nazi group for transporting people in a UHaul.

when one shows up in a neighborhood and just has come to a stop, someone should run up and throw a padlock on the latch......

14. It is illegal to transport human beings in U-haul and Budget moving trucks.

19. Is this a case of TSF's goons riding in rental vehicles?

If so, when have they ever given deference to laws?

[SunSeeker]

22. It also violates every truck rental agreement. Budget should stop renting to ICE.

UHaul stopped rending to neo-nazis when they put people in the back of their rental trucks:
“If an individual is in good standing with us, we will rent to them,” Lockridge said. “If an individual commits illegal acts using our equipment, misuses our equipment, or violates their rental contract, we reserve the right to take away their rental privileges. That happened in this instance.”

17. Pritzker and Johnson are making sure there's footage of ICE everywhere they go. For evidence.

[SunSeeker]

24. Exactly. Nobody here is denying this happened. But we need it documented to push back on Trump's disinfo.

That is Pritzker's point.

For example, this witness provided a harrowing account, but if she had videotaped it, it would have been on the evening news:

Ebony Sweets Watson, who lives across the street from the raided building, told the Chicago Sun-Times that she saw children, some of whom weren’t even wearing clothes, dragged out of the building by ICE agents and then placed into U-Haul vans.

[soldierant]

21. Well, there are witnesses.

23. Why the fuck is Chicago PD doing nothing about the theft and destruction of US citizen's property?

From your Wonkette link:

Jones said he entered his unit to find all of his electronics and furniture missing, and all of his clothes and shoes thrown on the floor. Jones said he had no idea who took his belongings and hadn’t received answers from Chicago police.

“I’m pissed off,” Jones said. “I feel defeated because the authorities aren’t doing anything.”
