Human-rights attorneys in Chicago say they cannot account for more than 3,000 people arrested during a federal immigration crackdown known as “Operation Midway Blitz,” raising concerns about due process, transparency, and possible coerced departures.

Immigration and Border Patrol officers have arrested more than 3,000 people who authorities say were in the U.S. illegally and in some cases wanted for serious crimes, all in the seven weeks since feds intensified their efforts in the state.

Attorneys consulted by NBC Chicago, however, say federal authorities have refused — or are unable — to disclose where many of those detainees are being held or whether they have already been deported.

      I can only hope that if anyone is serious about doing something meaningful, they’re going to be smart enough to stay quiet about it on public social media.

                Mhmm sure buddy, not like it’s historically the only real answer to fascism or anything.

                  Nah, it’s propaganda to think this will be won simply by adding military might. It’s what our Government tells you won WW2. Behind the war machines that toppled the Nazis was a collective production effort. Even the most esteemed guerilla warrior needs a village to support them.

          I think this is exactly what Trump and his administration want, they want us to escalate to violence so they can step theirs up even more or even declare martial law and then we’re really screwed.

            They’re also fine with us just engaging in performance politics and peaceful protest because they can and do ignore it.

            One of the two strategies at least forces the fascists to respond on terms you determine.

            And if you continue to advocate for strategies that can be ignored, you’ll find yourself in a position where it’s impossible to engage in strategies that are historically demonstrated to be more effective: fascism has never been stopped by asking them to.

            “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” - Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025

            I dunno, kinda sounds like they’re getting exactly what they want already and your calls to inaction further enable it.

              Who said I said to do nothing? I’m just saying don’t go out and start shooting people as at this point it will only make things worse.
