The Fears of the Undocumented
Briefly

Last Sunday, at a mass in Pilsen, Father Arturo Pérez addressed the collective suffering during ICE raids in Chicago, emphasizing shared humanity. The raids, confirmed by ICE and the Department of Justice, drew attention from media personalities like Dr. Phil, who focused on targeting serious criminals. However, statements from ICE officials opened the door to apprehend a broader range of undocumented immigrants, prompting concerns over potential 'collateral arrests.' This contradiction in messaging raises critical questions about the impact of these raids on immigrant communities.
"What happens to one happens to all of us. What one suffers we all suffer," Father Arturo Pérez emphasized during a mass as ICE raids unfolded in Chicago.
While Dr. Phil portrayed ICE actions as targeting heinous criminals, officials hinted at broader sweeps, raising concerns for undocumented immigrants in Chicago.
