Inside the Chicago Resistance
Civilians in Chicago are taking matters into their own hands, tailing officers, guarding Home Depots, and patrolling their neighborhoods.
A recent incident in the East Side of Chicago, a working-class Latino and Black community, ended in a car chase and a protest. Federal agents were pursuing a car driven by an undocumented immigrant, which allegedly rammed another car intentionally.
A resident, Pauly, found three metal containers on his street:
- a tear-gas canister
- a smoke-grenade can
- a pepper-ball projectile round
As the crowd gathered to check on the commotion, more federal agents arrived, and the scene turned into a kind of protest.
