Another tamalera, or tamale vendor, was arrested by federal agents Thursday outside of a nearby Walgreens, 7410 N. Clark St., organizers said. At least four people were arrested that day along Clark Street in Rogers Park, organizers said.
In response, around 400 Rogers Park neighbors rallied on Saturday near where the arrests were made to show support for at-risk neighbors and businesses suffering from the heightened immigration enforcement, according to organizers with Protect RP, a rapid response network that reports ICE activity.
“We’ve had at least 500 people in our online training sessions,” Protect RP organizer Marissa Graciosa said. “So we had people go out just to be visible on Clark Street and there was a huge turn-out.”
