Inside the Chicago Resistance

Civilians are taking action by tailing officers, guarding Home Depots, and patrolling their neighborhoods amidst a three-day confrontation with ICE.

On the East Side of Chicago, a working-class Latino and Black community, a car chase ended in a neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon. Federal agents were pursuing a car driven by an undocumented immigrant, which allegedly rammed another car intentionally.

A resident, Pauly, stood at the corner of 105th and Avenue N, examining evidence from the scene: a tear-gas canister, a smoke-grenade can, and a pepper-ball projectile round. As federal agents pursued the occupants on foot, residents like Pauly came out to check on the commotion, and more agents arrived, leading to a crowd turning into a protest.
