I wouldn't say he's concerned about the policy,

The sound is constant and blunt. It could easily be mistaken for an expression of anger, but watching how others in the area-pedestrians, other drivers-react, it's a signal: a warning to anyone within earshot that ICE is moving through the neighborhood. It turns what ICE hoped would be a discreet operation into a public event. One pedestrian we pass hears the horn, turns, and gives the ICE vehicles the finger.

Schumer's office said he urged Trump to release federal funding for the $16 billion Gateway tunnel during the meeting, which they said the president requested. Trump last year said he was withholding federal funding from the massive public works project - which includes the construction of new rail tunnels under the Hudson River -after Democrats picked a government shutdown fight.

If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT (Screengrab via Truth Social)

You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo? Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?

My "handler" was a friend of a friend of a friend. That delicate linkage was a conduit of trust. Trust enough to meet me anyhow; ICE informants had made his work more dangerous. I would need to be tested and mettled before he would introduce me to the undocumented workers who trusted him. They were the story. I wanted to talk to them in the rippling shock of recent ICE deportation raids.

I'm losing everything.

Ronan needed an immediate influx of customers to stay afloat, and even ordering one cocktail or piece of merch could help.

People are just scared. But they still have to go out there to look for work. They still have bills to pay. Rent to pay," Gabaldon said. The Concord Immigrant Protection Network is a newly formed volunteer organization that educates on immigrant rights. Volunteers are now using their voice for a holiday caroling protest targeted at Home Depot, accusing the company of collaborating with ICE by allowing the agency to stage in its parking lots.

Nearly two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested nine employees at the car wash without giving them an opportunity to retrieve documents that could have proven they are allowed to work in the U.S., a manager said previously. The people detained ranged in age from a teenager to a 67-year-old man who recently lost his wife to cancer.

Some people have found a safe space in two video games known for their violence: Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto (GTA) V. New Save Collective, a group of gamers, is using the former to recreate raids like those carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as a way to educate people about their rights when confronted by officers in the real world and, above all, to create a safe community of virtual gamers.

It is difficult for today's youth to believe, but the snarky T-shirt is a relatively recent innovation. Though they are now everywhere, until the late 1990s one almost never saw another person wearing a shirt that read "Stop looking at my nuts" with a pair of the threaded metal hardware implements pictured, or perhaps one with a sports figure on it and "I just hope both teams have fun."

Earlier this year, the Trump administration reversed the convention that nobody would be snatched by immigration and customs enforcement, or ICE, by a school, church or hospital. Since then, teachers have reported classrooms a third empty, as parents are too scared to send their kids in volunteers walk them there and back. In the Rogers Park area of Chicago, a group of citizens are organising to resist such immigration raids. Sometimes, it's simple non-violent tactics, such as slowing officers down.

Erin Tobes and Audra Wunder are stay-at-home moms in the suburban Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago. It's a tight-knit community where everyone knows everyone, including the large, diverse population of immigrants and refugees who live there. When President Trump announced that he would send U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to Chicago, Tobes and Wunder met with the principal of their kids' school to find out what they could do to protect students and their families.

Gun-toting ICE agents allegedly forced their way into a Queens home last week without announcing themselves or presenting a warrant for a person who no longer lived there, the New York Immigration Coalition said Wednesday. The nonprofit advocacy group stated that agents broke down the door of a family's residence at a basement apartment in Elmhurst on Nov. 13. According to the organization, the agents pointed firearms at a mother and her four children and pulled the woman from her bed before threatening to return.

The big picture: Operation Midway Blitz, which targeted undocumented immigrants in the Chicago area, resulted in 3,000 arrests, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Oct. 30. The operation in Chicago mirrored prior activities in Los Angeles, where Border Patrol also joined ICE on its mission. President Trump told "60 Minutes" in a recent interview that he wants to see more aggressive tactics in operations across the country, but blamed "liberal judges" for restricting immigration agents.

ICE agents forcibly detained a worker at the Rayito de Sol daycare center in the city's North Side neighborhood after pursuing her into the facility on Wednesday morning. Videos taken by bystanders show ICE agents dragging the woman out of the daycare at one point appearing to slam her face against the glass doors before pinning her against a parked car as they attempted to handcuff her.

But this year, things are much, much different because of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that have been happening in and around Chicago since early September. In the Chicago neighborhoods of Pilsen and Little Village, Halloween, All Saints Day on 1 November, and Dia de los Muertos collectively play an important part in bringing the community together to celebrate, mourn and pray as a whole. This year, amid ICE enforcement and raids, the celebrations were a lot more muted.

Amid ongoing outrage over Tuesday's Canal Street ICE raid, masked agents seemed to take on a new approach at nearby 26 Federal Plaza last week: Rounding up several families at a time and taking them into custody for questioning.

For 44 years, a nighttime procession has snaked through the heart of the Mission District, San Francisco's historic Latino neighbourhood. Aztec dancers lead the way, followed by thousands of revellers, adorned in marigolds and face paint that transforms the living into a parade of colourful skulls. The celebration marks Dia de los Muertos, a holiday celebrated in Mexico and throughout Latin America to honour the dead.

Advocates warn of ongoing isolated ICE raids after an undocumented immigrant was detained in front of his San Jose home Saturday despite the Trump administration calling off the mass deployment of federal agents in the Bay Area earlier this week. As NBC Bay Area reports, federal agents with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement approached Gerardo, 42, in his driveway as he was leaving for work at 7:45 am Saturday, which was captured on the family's Ring camera (included in the below video clip).

Now, to give us the final blow, came the ICE raids that were on TV so much. They really scared people. Business is going down, down, down.

Recently, heavily armed and masked SWAT-like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents rolled up at a Chicago-area elementary school as classes ended for the day. Their target? A mom picking up her child. The footage is heart-wrenching: A woman in a pink sweatshirt, struggling frantically, is pressed into the pavement by armed bodies as she screams, "There is no signed warrant,"while members of an army invade her car.
