Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city by population. Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down doors, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from their apartments, residents and witnesses told the Chicago Sun-Times.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people without legal immigration status, including some with criminal records. The spokesperson claimed the South Shore neighborhood is “a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates.”
“Due to the size of this operation, DHS law enforcement is continuing to gather more information on those arrested and will provide more information when available,” the spokesperson said. “Federal law enforcement officers will not stand by and allow criminal activity flourish in our American neighborhoods.”

And some or all of the agents are currently not going to receive their next paycheck if the government stays shut down.
They are willing to do this for free.
Not for free. Government employees who are deemed essential continue to work through shutdowns and receive their back pay when the shutdown ends.
They’re still jackbooted thugs but they aren’t doing it for free.
They only get their back pay if congress authorizes it. While that has happened during prior shutdowns, it does not mean they are guaranteed to be paid this time.
They still count as working for free until they get their backpay.

That was true before 2019. It is no longer the case.
Like the current administration cares about the law.
True. But. Why would the current administration choose to NOT pay them…?
Because they are greedy and stupid ? Why do you still trust laws in a country run by nazis who have made it clear that the law is what they say it is at the moment ?
If robo-cops were a thing already I’d be with you, until then I don’t see ICE losing their paychecks any time soon.
And I never said I trust that they follow the law, but I trust that they want ICE paid
