My Cousin Lives In Chicago [View all]

[WiVoter]

I sent her a text and said I was very concerned for her. Her answer was foreboding. She said she was OK, however she was literally reading news about ICE agents repelling out of helicopters onto apartment buildings in Chicago. She said that is actually true. She said there is a lot of tension right now. She also said there is a detention center a few miles away where protesters are being tear gassed. She also said there are armed guards in Chicago. She said apparently the protesters at the detention center are bring more aggressive, supposedly yelling and taunting the guards, and then the guard use physical force and tear gas. She was going to drive over to see for herself, but she learned that even reporters sitting in their cars have been hit by paintball guns and pellets. She said that when she thinks of it, this could get worse with physical military combat in our streets. She is afraid there will be some major shooting incidents in the near future, likely by ICE.

This is a first hand account I received just now.
