Two women are accused of honking their horn to alert others that Border Patrol troops were in the area.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Video shows Border Patrol agents arresting two U.S. citizens in Charlotte's Plaza Midwood neighborhood Monday morning after accusing them of honking their horn to alert others that troops were in the area, according to witnesses and family members.
From the article:
"...Prior to his incarceration he was able to walk on his own without assistance, but he is now using a wheelchair, Adams said. He has had three back surgeries for which he’s under continued medical care and was scheduled for a spinal procedure on Thursday, which he missed because of the detention. He has also been unable to get his regular medications.
Friday morning, he called to say he has bruises from the guards, Adams said.
“He fell out of his wheelchair and they left him on the cell floor for hours.” she said.
He told his family the detainees rarely get hot meals, a complaint shared by others held at Alligator Alcatraz...."
Orlando Sentinel: Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.

LA Times: A Russian couple were living their L.A. dream. Then immigration grabbed them off the street
"...The August sun was already warming Westlake Village when Anton Perevalov dressed in athletic shorts and decided to take an early morning stroll with his miniature pinscher, Ben, while his wife slept.
As he turned right onto Hillcrest Drive — a route he’d taken so many mornings before — an unmarked car stopped in front of him and a man he’d never met emerged and peppered him with questions: “Are you Anton Perevalov?” “Are you a citizen of Russia?”
When Perevalov, 43, answered in the affirmative, two other men exited the car and approached him. One took his phone and the other slapped handcuffs on him..."

But as fear spread, so did something else — neighbors stepping up for one another & finding creative ways to show up for vendors & restaurant owners. This includes a grassroots effort to organize so-called “buy out” events meant to allow vendors who fear being detained by #immigration agents to go home early.

Since the start of a federal #immigration crackdown that has led to >3,200 arrests in the #Chicago metropolitan area, streets & storefronts in the city’s Latino neighborhoods have emptied out. Street vendors, fearing arrest, have been afraid to leave their homes to #work. Local restaurants have struggled as customers stay home.

This is #Chicago
Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid #Trump #immigration crackdown
The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods & stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food & deliver it to #shelters & #families in need.

#Trump didn’t say which channel he watched; he said at one point he saw something “today” & at another “last night.”
The evening before, on Sept 4, #FoxNews aired a 2½ minute segment spotlighting protests outside an #ICE field office in #Portland. Similar footage aired the morning of Trump’s remarks. The president went on to announce Sept 27 on Truth Social that he would send #troops, saying that he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
AP: ‘A day without fear': Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid immigration crackdown
CHICAGO (AP) — The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands and candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need.

Fuck. ICE.
"An Illinois man said his US citizen family – including his one-year-old daughter – were pepper-sprayed in their car by federal immigration agents during a shopping trip in a Chicago suburb."
A masked agent in a pickup truck going the opposite direction pepper sprayed an entire family, presumably for driving while brown.
Despite the video evidence, DHS is denying the event even occurred.

Her inclusion of the #poem struck a chord with locals, who have long regarded the work as an unofficial city anthem. The piece has been taught in classrooms, performed at poetry slams & recited by politicians, including gmt Mayor Rahm Emanuel. It has inspired a “Big Shoulders” comic series, & it is even painted on the facade of Damen Tavern in West Town.
But the poem is finding new resonance during the sustained #ICE occupation in #Chicago.
#CarlSandburg ‘#Chicago’ #poem finds fresh relevance in a city occupied by #ICE
Known for praising the city with “big shoulders,” the beloved 1914 composition recently was recited in a ruling addressing federal #immigration agents’ #UseOfForce. Literary scholars say they were “astounded” & “amazed.”

#DHS would not comment on the specific incident, instead sending a similar statement to one it sent the day before in response to inquiries about its campaign in Little Village Saturday — where shots were *allegedly* fired at agents, acc/to DHS, multiple people were arrested after residents responded to agents detaining people.

The video, filmed by Veraza’s wife in the passenger seat, shows a masked federal agent driving a black pickup truck & firing pepper spray into the open driver’s window of a vehicle. The video later shows his daughter, whose face is censored, crying as someone says, “You’re OK, Mama, you’re OK” & people wash out their eyes.
