I want to emphasize that this is an isolated incident. I have never encountered this man or this group before, and I cover a large area in Chicago. This kind of rhetoric only comes from a small, tiny minority of people in the country. Additionally, this person wouldn’t be considered a Democrat or affiliated with party politics or the larger protests around the country against government abuses. I have a longer video that provides more context.

BREAKING - CHICAGO, IL: Earlier today, our partner Alejandro was on the ground in Little Village near the intersection of 27th and Whipple. Awareness of ICE activity prompted the rapid response networks to mobilize to the scene, and at some point, ICE deployed at least five canisters of gas, according to witnesses. This is the second clash of the week following an event that occurred in the city Wednesday morning.
