Chicago Activist on Organizing Community ICE Patrols as Trump Escalates Immigration Crackdown

Tension between immigration agents and community activists is growing in Chicago, where ICE agents have deployed tear gas and pepper balls against ongoing protests outside Chicago's Broadview ICE detention facility.

Democracy Now! speaks with community activist Cristobal Cavazos, who says that the people of Chicago have been steadfast in their mobilization against ICE, with communities engaging in daily protests and community safety patrols. We're really doing some historic mobilization here in Chicago, and we're super proud," says Cavazos. The key word here is 'resistance.'"
