Trump ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn in Chicago, Handing Dems an Opening

By Greg Sargent

On Tuesday, masked members of the paramilitary wing of the MAGA movement—otherwise known as the federal agents carrying out Trump’s immigration raids—broadened their operations in Chicago. The result: more violence, more tumult, more Americans ferociously at one another’s throats. Exactly as President Trump and Stephen Miller intend.

 

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that these federal agents undertook a dangerous car chase through a residential neighborhood, drawing onlookers, which prompted agents to deploy tear gas and smoke grenades. Though protesters may have thrown things, the response was extraordinary: The paper posted startling photos of heavily armed ICE agents pointing weapons in locals’ faces. And a dozen Chicago cops were "overcome by tear gas," per the Sun-Times, after showing up to "deescalate tensions between protesters and federal agents." Translation: They were standing between Americans and Trump’s security forces.

 

Scenes like these give Democrats an opening. Rather than merely criticize these operations, Democrats can stand for the proposition that all this fear, violence, and searing tension doesn’t have to be a perennially defining fixture in American life, as Trump and Miller want—that a brighter alternative is possible beyond the horizon. At the center of this case should be a promise of relief and a vow of accountability.
