ICE agents took people from normal activities (ie not protests) from Grant park (the park in downtown with the famous bean sculpture tourists go to) recently. They are snatching people all over the city without warrants. I would not say tourists are unlikely to encounter their operations. | ||

I'm not glazing ICE by any means, but we have to be real here: the vast majority of people that are being picked up are in violation of immigration law and no amount of "No warrant" is going to change people's mind. The majority of illegal immigration in my location are people overstaying their student visas and they're getting sent back. Saw a former co-worker's wife was sent back, no I didn't snitch, but I don't feel sorry for someone who overstayed a student visa then worked under the table for a decade. | ||

Yea totally agree. The comment I was responding to was clapping back about allegations of homeless individuals being pushed into assisted suicides in Canada. That’s what I meant would be unlikely to be encountered. I’ve updated my comment to make it more clear. | ||
