Jay Kuo: Chicago and the Horrors of Carte Blanche

Yesterday, federal authorities, including agents from ICE, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives), and the FBI sought to make good on Donald Trump’s recent threats against U.S. cities.

In the dead of night, they swarmed a residential building in Chicago, even dropping in from Black Hawk helicopters like some sort of special commandos going after dangerous terrorists. They indiscriminately broke into people’s apartments and yanked them from their beds. Some residents were naked. They ransacked apartments and even zip tied small children. Some U.S. citizens were detained for hours.

The justification for this blatantly illegal and unconstitutional assault is a familiar one. The regime claims it was going after drug traffickers and gang members.

But once again, it offered no proof. We just have to take their word for it. Authorities seized people first, without probable cause, treating merely living in the same complex as suspected undocumented migrants as a crime.

As Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the Immigration Council observed,

A dangerous moment for America. If the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run checks — they would be sued into oblivion. It’s beyond unconstitutional.

The regime is deploying overwhelming force against innocent people and breaching all manner of constitutional boundaries, all in the name of interdicting drugs and gangs. We have seen this before, and this is now a pattern we need to highlight and organize to stop before even more lives are endangered or destroyed.
