"Terrible things are happening outside.
At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone."
Anne Frank

FBI targeting anti-ICE protesters
FBI is targeting anti-ICE protesters not charged with any crime, like Chicago-based English professor...
