But as fear spread, so did something else — neighbors stepping up for one another & finding creative ways to show up for vendors & restaurant owners. This includes a grassroots effort to organize so-called “buy out” events meant to allow vendors who fear being detained by #immigration agents to go home early.

Since the start of a federal #immigration crackdown that has led to >3,200 arrests in the #Chicago metropolitan area, streets & storefronts in the city’s Latino neighborhoods have emptied out. Street vendors, fearing arrest, have been afraid to leave their homes to #work. Local restaurants have struggled as customers stay home.

1-yr-old pepper-sprayed by federal agent in #Chicago

Video shows federal agents spraying chemical irritants from a moving vehicle at a line of cars waiting to leave a Cicero Sam’s Club Saturday morning. The action obviously violates a judge’s restriction on use of force.

POS #Bovino was there. The ass that lied in court & then admitted he lied about protesters throwing a rock at him.

#DHS would not comment on the specific incident, instead sending a similar statement to one it sent the day before in response to inquiries about its campaign in Little Village Saturday — where shots were *allegedly* fired at agents, acc/to DHS, multiple people were arrested after residents responded to agents detaining people.

The video, filmed by Veraza’s wife in the passenger seat, shows a masked federal agent driving a black pickup truck & firing pepper spray into the open driver’s window of a vehicle. The video later shows his daughter, whose face is censored, crying as someone says, “You’re OK, Mama, you’re OK” & people wash out their eyes.

“I didn’t have to go through this, & my daughter didn’t have to go through this,” Veraza said. “We aren’t protesters, we weren’t going after them, we weren’t attacking them.”

Veraza said his family is considering legal action to help pay for specialist care that he said his daughter now requires.

A judge on Monday allowed the continued deployment of more than 300 #WestVirginia #NationalGuard members to #WashingtonDC.

Kanawha County Circuit Judge Richard D. Lindsay made the ruling after hearing arguments in a lawsuit by a civic organization.

#Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey authorized the Guard’s deployment in August to support #Trump’s *crime-fighting* efforts in the nation’s capital.

The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.

Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.

Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.

Lawyers for the #Trump admin told Ellis they plan to appeal her ruling…
Nearly a month ago, Ellis prohibited federal agents from deploying #TearGas & other #weapons against #journalists, #protesters & anyone not posing an immediate threat to #immigration enforcement agents.

Since Oct 3, federal agents have fired tear gas at Chicagoans on at least 7 occasions, along with #PepperBalls & other crowd *control* measures.

Ellis held an all-day hearing Wednesday in her courtroom at the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown #Chicago where she heard from members of the #clergy, #protesters & Chicago #residents that they had been terrified by the aggressive actions of federal agents carrying out what the #Trump admin calls “Operation Midway Blitz.”
