A man selling flowers near Curie Metropolitan High School was among those arrested Sunday, according to Any Huamani, an organizer with Brighton Park Neighborhood Council who helps monitor ICE activity and supports undocumented immigrants.
“It’s obvious that operations have begun in Chicago,” Huamani said at a news conference Monday. “And it’s even more obvious that they are going to be targeting our communities here in the Southwest Side.
“We’re afraid. Our neighbors are afraid.”
This is what always gets me; it was the north that wanted states rights not the south. The south wanted to violate the sovereignty of northern states. This was also happening at a time when laws were being challenged in the Supreme Court that freed black people within state borders leading to a ruling that southern states laws regarding slaves preempted northern laws freeing them.
Yeah, but that’s not what Mrs Hill told me in sixth grade, and surely they wouldn’t have simplified anything!

I’m just glad that at least now that it’s literally repeating in front of our eyes people don’t reflexively yell “it was slavery” and ignore everything else
Would have been great if they came onboard earlier, but at least they’re onboard now
