"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping." Matt DeMateo recounts how three U.S. citizens, including a toddler, were tear gassed in Cicero by federal agents.

Tear gas was indiscriminately released into our communities. What matters to this Commission is how it impacts families, children, and people in their own homes and neighborhoods.

This is what Bovino and his federal agents did in Illinois. Illinoisans, including U.S. citizens, were targeted and harassed for how they look. Watch the Commission's montage video focused on the human impact of Operation Midway Blitz.

"There is no threat. There's no need to use these weapons... when the leadership of an organization is doing this, this provides cover for everyone under him." Dr. Rohini J. Haar, MD, MPH—emergency physician with health & human rights expertise—reviews scene with Gregory Bovino.

They were simply shopping…while in the country illegally

Trump's GESTAPO (ICE) is 100% unlawful per the United States Constitution. They have illegally brutalized, kidnapped and --> disappeared <-- over 65,000 human beings from American soil.

Your own damn video shows people attacking the agents.

This is more Communist lies.

They were definitely doing something. Agents don’t waste time with people that are doing nothing. They just want as many deportations as possible.

How much grant money depend on keeping this organization vested in OPEN BORDERS and HUMAN TRAFFICKING? Maybe the Illinois Department of HUMAN RIGHTS can weigh in? How much is he getting?

So you are saying Illinois should drop sanctuary policies that force local police and judges to allow illegal immigrants to return to the streets and send agents into our neighborhoods? Shootings down 70% in neighborhoods since ICE started doing local enforcements and courts job

Let's see Proof of your statement Bet you can't because you lie

FAFO!

You mean like judge Dugan? I see she was found guilty of a felony, how does that feel ? Pritzker and your NGO’s are corrupted too

Sounds like you need to encourage illegals to leave..they are harming the CITIZENS of your state.

Another propaganda ...the deportations hurt the establishment and pathetic stories like this are the proof

Democrats are child molesters rapist thugs

Why didn't they show the whole video where everyone could see.

Illegals are invaders and must be removed

Liar.

Where are you when Illegals kill Americans,you are Anti American Trash

Maga front are low IQ. But even more pathetic...they expose themselves

Lmao. GTFOH! Stop the bullshit and propaganda.
