  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Rhis is FANTASTIC! So glad they are doing this.

The good citizens who are here should be glad their apartment building is being liberated from these criminal.illegal gangs. If it was me, I'd be fine with being held while they checked things out. Cause I'd know rhey were involved in a very dangerous situation and don't have time to work their way through every person immediately.

I'd be thanking them and showing my gratitude for getting rid of these terrible people.
I believe this is called licking the boots.

Why stop at apartment buildings?
Why not round-up whole towns to sort out who is who?

Because this was a targeted mission. You know thing you have been demanding. Going after criminals. It precisely was NOT a whole town but a single building taken over by a foreign terrorist criminal gang. You should be grateful they are doing what you want.

Gov. Pritzker Orders State Agencies to Probe Treatment of Kids Detained by Feds During South Shore Raid

Pritzker, who is running for a third term as governor and considering a run for president in 2028, said he was “appalled by the reports of excessive use of force against children as well as the many innocent bystanders who were punished simply for residing in that building.”

Without providing evidence, federal officials said 300 agents raided the South Shore apartment building to arrest members of the Tren de Aragua criminal organization, which originated in Venezuela. Federal officials said 37 people were arrested, but several days after the raid, they have not been identified or charged with a crime.

The apartment building had become a home for dozens of migrants who made their way to Chicago from the southern border on buses paid for by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in an attempt to bolster President Donald Trump’s bid for reelection.

I don't understand why anyone can accept this. Maybe just because it is happening to someone else, not them (yet)? I've got to think MAGA would go berserk if it was them being drug out of bed and cuffed in the middle of the night. Wouldn't they?
Pope Leo provided an effective summary.

Pope Leo said. "And someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.”

It’s called being liberated. Like we did to the French and the rest of europe in WWII. There is no boot picking, just gratitude.
Lmao… Liberated? How were you being oppressed? Please tell me. I need a good laugh today.

I must say it has become very personal for me.You see, I have brown grandchildren, the offspring of my very Anglo Caucasian son and his lovely citizen wife of Mexican heritage. They are only 5 & 3 and cute and smart as a button. The thought that my grandkids are growing up in an America where they may be stopped at any time with "papers please," pulled over while driving brown, or detained until they prove they have a right to be here scares me for them. And, it angers me, too. It is not the kind of country we are supposed to be. I recently talked to their great aunt who works for a 3-letter Federal agency. She is afraid to take her trash bin to the curb without ensuring she has her .gov ID around her neck. It is not the kind of country we are supposed to be.

I don't think I said I was liberated, but if I was under constant threat of criminal terrorist gangs, I would feel liberated.

We dont have those where I live, but I would be so angry at my government for allowing it if they were here.

The WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED IT TO BECOME THIS WAY. Holy cow. If we would have gotten control of our border a long time ago, we wouldn't be in this position. If Biden and the Democrats hadn't decided to let all these illegals in we wouldn't be here. You are blaming the wrong people.

Secondly I reject the premise. You and your friend are being overly dramatic because ICE is not just randomly picking up brown people because they are brown. These are targeted enforcements. In Portland they didnt drive around rhe streets and start grabbing brown people. Its actually people like you and the press that are scaring people by making those claims. ICE is targeting certain people who are known to be criminals and terrorists or are working with illegals. If you or your friend arw working with rhe mob, they should be expected to be picked up on a mob raid.

If they are with Al-Qaeda then they will get picked up with Al-Qaeda. So, DON'T BE WITH THEM. Its as simple as that. Don't be and you wont have to have any concerns at all.

Let's ask the MAGA supporters who have posted in this thread. Um... they seem to be absent. I can only assume they are out exercising their right to protest against a tyrannical government.
More of the same ol 'tyrannical nazis committing atrocities' hyperbole doesn't really deserve a response. It's just another rerun of a rerun.

Court in California says otherwise.

ICE is targeting certain people who are known to be criminals and terrorists or are working with illegals.
They are targeting brown people at Home Depot parking lots. They are mostly not finding criminals, much less terrorists.
If you or your friend arw working with rhe mob, they should be expected to be picked up on a mob raid.
What if you live in the same apartment building? And feds rappel out of helicopters to march you and all your neighbors outside with your hands zip-tied. I know you've said you'd appreciate it, but your assertion rings hollow.

Except they captured the people they were after.
Are you sure? How do you know? What are their names and charges? What were the names on the arrest warrant?

Federal officials said 37 people were arrested, but several days after the raid, they have not been identified or charged with a crime.

They rousted an entire apartment building in the middle of the night. They have raided businesses/construction companies and rounded up everyone brown. They have held them until they proved themselves legal. It is not the mission that is improper, it's the method.

It's really quiet simple, if you don't want to be rounded up with illegals, don't live where they live and work where they work.

I am assuming there is a public list of these places, or when taking a new job do I have to ask co-workers for their papers, just to be sure? I live next door to immigrants. They say they are engineers and fly an American flag. Is that good enough or should I ring their bell and check their papers. What then, sell my house?

Oh, it was a show all right, making an arrest in the flashiest and most disruptive way they could.
