ICE is detaining black people inChicago.
Everyone is at risk. ICE reportedly is now beginning
to arrest African Americans. Do you see that hundreds of
agents raided an apartment complex in Chicago in the middle
of the night, taking children out naked and detaining black

(00:22):
U.S. citizens. This happened around 1:00 AM at
a large apartment complex in theSouth Shore neighborhood of
Chicago. Over 300 agents from ICE, FBIATF
and other agents showed up to the apartment complex.
They came with helicopters, somepeople saying they saw Black
Hawk helicopters and it seems that they also came hidden in
budget and U-Haul trucks. Officials from the government

(00:43):
said that they this because theywere looking for six high
priority targets, including suspected members of Tenderagua.
Even though they never showed a war while they were there and
they have not confirmed if they actually detained anyone that is
a member of Tenderagua. Agents went into nearly all of
the 100 apartments that were in the complex.
They were busting down doors anddragging people out of their

(01:04):
beds. There are reports of kids being
zip tied and being taken out buck naked.
Black residents who are U.S. citizens also said that they
were dragged out of their departments.
They were held at gunpoint, asked to give their name, date
of birth and asked if they had any warrant.
They also separated people, Black people in one van and

(01:24):
immigrants in the other van. Reports say that between 30 to
40 people were disappeared that night.
Activists are trying to figure out who were the people that
would disappear since the government is not giving any
information on the individuals. This race should be a reminder
that they're coming for all of us.
Look, white supremacists have done a great job of separating
the black and Latino community, especially during the last

(01:45):
election. They separated us so that they
can come and hunt us down. They don't care about any of us
because of the color of our skin.
And to any white people seeing this and say, not my problem,
remember Donald Trump? Trump just said that U.S. cities
should be training grounds for the military.
And they're starting, as always with black and brown bodies.
They're moving to everyone next,white people included.

(02:06):
I'm sorry this is happening to our communities, but we need to
stick together. Like I've always said, we are
stronger together. So.
If ICE is detaining black peoplenow in Chicago, where are they
sending us? Where are we going?
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Send me to Turks and Caicos to one woman who actually lives in
this building. And she said she was detained by

(02:27):
ICE agents overnight and she says they took everyone and then
asked questions later. They just treated us like we
were nothing. Fertishu Fisher said she came
out to the hallway of her apartment complex on the corner
of 75th and South Shore Drive inher net gown around 10 Monday
night only to find ICE agents yelling police.
It was scary because I've never had a gun put in my face.
They asked my name and my date of birth.
They asked me did I have any words and I told them no I

(02:48):
didn't. She said she was then handcuffed
and released around 3:00 AM. Fisher says she was told if
anyone had any kind of warrant out for them, even if it was
unrelated to immigration, they would not be released.
And ICE attacked a black neighborhood last night.
Black apartment complex detained.
Pretty much everyone destroyed. Those people's homes destroyed.
I just got finished looking at videos and they took everything

(03:10):
out of the refrigerator, threw it on the floor, broke windows,
destroyed fences, destroyed doors, destroyed walls, damaged
all of their personal belongings, just threw
everything out. So why is ICE in a black
neighborhood looking for immigrants?
I guess they have moved on to getting a response from black

(03:31):
people because like I said earlier, we don't have that many
immigrants. They should be doing a big
recruiting effort. We don't need all of these
holding facilities in these jails.
We don't have that many immigrants.
Hello, everybody, Welcome back to the channel.
All right, ICE is now picking upblack folks in Chicago.

(03:52):
American citizens, this is very important.
You know, I saw this video is actually going viral on the
Internet because a lot of peopledidn't see this coming,
especially black Americans, you know, even after ignoring the
warnings from the Latino community because first it was
Latinos and then the Asians, youknow, and now it's now Black

(04:16):
America, American citizens. And this happened actually after
ICE raided a whole building in Chicago.
They actually used helicopters, broke down doors and separated
families, zip tied people and actually went ahead and detained
American citizens. They don't care, y'all.
It doesn't matter. Well, I know them Latinos

(04:39):
actually voted against their best interest.
But yeah, we have to understand especially black folks actually
do know when it comes to people of color, you know, they don't
give a continent to about that whether you are a citizen or a
non citizen, as long as you don't fit the ideals of the
America that actually they want these great America.

(05:03):
Well, they coming after you. But let's take a look at these
videos that are compiled for youguys.
I'll be back with more commentary after this.

They was terrified. The kids was crying, people were
screaming. They looked very distorted.
I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around

(05:25):
the corner. They they was bringing the kids
down too, Had them zip tied to each other.
That's all. I kept asking, where's the
morality? Where's the human?
One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here.
He said them kids. Watson says budget trucks and
military style vans were used toseparate parents from their
children. Other neighbors say they saw
agents destroying property to get in the building.

(05:48):
And they had. A big. 15 inch chainsaw.
With round blade on it cutting this fence.
Down. We're in the siege.
We're being invaded. I'm sorry.
This is what we want. This is what people voted for.
For people to be dragged out of their homes in the middle of the
night, to have masked men put people in unmarked vehicles, for
flash bangs, for children to be in zip ties, for people to be at

(06:12):
gunpoint. This is the country you want?
You want our government to terrorize its own citizens?
I don't understand if anybody says this is what they voted
for, how you continue to move the goal post, and your own
deplorable lack of moral standards.

(06:32):
It is absolutely ridiculous. I don't care if they're black,
Hispanic, Asian, white, rich, poor, it doesn't matter.
This type of thing should not behappening anywhere.
We should not be declaring war on our own citizens.
ICE is detaining black people inChicago.

(06:55):
Do you understand? We told y'all, it started, it
was going to start with Hispanicpeople and immigrants and, and
they were already going after Haitians, already going after my
people. So I've been saying this, but
like, they're now detaining ICE is now detaining black people in
Chicago. They just raided a whole

(07:16):
apartment complex. Ain't that crazy?
They raided a whole apartment complex and it didn't matter
what you were doing in your apartment.
You had people roll up in your house, detain you, and if you
had a warrant out, they kept you.

(07:39):
That's like you. What are you doing in my house
in the first place? They're detaining black people
in Chicago. So.
OK, OK All right, So what now? When does the, the when do we
stop working and start working? You know, like, because I don't

(08:01):
understand, Like, what do we do now?
ICE is now detaining African American citizens in Chicago
like as we speak and governor has come out and said to record
everything, narrate everything, make sure everything is
documented, ask for their badge number.

(08:21):
Even if they refuse, get them oncamera.
But I'm going to say that again,ICE is now detaining black
citizens in Chicago for every black American that got on the
Internet and this app and refused to talk about what ICE
was doing and what is going on in our country.

(08:45):
Because I don't really care about the Hispanic community
because they don't care about us.
Which is BS and of itself. But that's a whole another
conversation. We told you that we would be
next right? And y'all didn't listen and
look. So this is a sign for everyone

(09:08):
to get off their damn high horses and start caring about
what is going on in your communities and in your nation.
Whether or not is this happeningto someone who looks like you
simply because we are human. This shit is not OK.

(09:28):
And we've been yelling that. So ICE is now detaining African
American citizens in Chicago. Let let that Click to you.
ICE is now detaining African American citizens in Chicago.
The they are saying if they're, if you are, if you get detained

(09:51):
and you're an African American, get that badge number, get that
information, get everything of that such, get all the
appropriate information that youneed because what the fuck do
you mean you're detaining an African American?
Where are you taking us? Where are you taking us?
Africa. Where are you taking us to

(10:14):
detain in Africa and then it OK,I don't want to hear all the
people said, oh, you guys are Santa when ICE was taking the
Mexicans. Yeah, come on now.
It's it's OK to confuse in Mexican and that's not supposed
to be in America. It's OK to get a little
confused. They don't know maybe, but come
on, like it does not even make sense.
And it's even funnier because Chicago is one of the cities

(10:36):
that don't even comply with the ICE requests with the mass
deportation. Chicago don't even comply with
that shit. They're not even all for it.
But it's like, like I said, it'sOK, OK, They have there was one
of the mass deportations for theMexicans with ICE.
I understand that they was a little confused.

(10:57):
I'm I'm not even with that. I'm I didn't vote for that shit.
I'm not even with that. Hey, if you, if you, I feel like
if you, you escape you and made it here, you made it here.
I'm not even E for deporting anygoddamn body, because if they're
here, they're here, but it's like to be deporting African
Americans. Where the fuck is you taking
them? Heaven or hell, There's not too

(11:21):
far that you can take us. Y'all hear about this shit?
The fuck? I understand why some majority
in the black community was against me defending people of
color, Latino, Hispanics, Asians, etcetera.
Because many of them feel that people of color do not care
about the black community as much as the black community
cares about people of color. And to an extent that is true, I

(11:42):
understand and their feelings are justified.
However, in many parts in black history, we also had POC allies,
whether that be Native Americans, his Latinos,
Caribbeans, Asians, etcetera. Even Italians in the early and
mid 19th century in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles,
CA, even we had alliances with them.
The point is we didn't do everything alone and that's

(12:04):
something that goes on talked about in American history and
Black history because say with me, Black history is American
history. When I found out that Black
Americans in Chicago was being detained by eyes, it was
heartbreaking, but it wasn't surprising because I knew for an
absolute fact that was going to come for us next.
First, it was Latinos and Hispanics.
They were targeting them first, then it was Muslims, then they

(12:28):
attacked Asians, and now they are attacking us.
It was it was a part of their program.
Solidarity and establishing relationships with other people
of color is incredibly vital in order to survive this.
We're going to win against this corrupted government.
I promise you, us being separated as we are now is not
going to help. There are more of them than
there are of us. But if we all come together as

(12:50):
one, we overpower them. We outnumber them.
It is the old and classic divideand conquer tactic.
If they see that all the minorities are divided and no
longer united, they're going to take that as an opportunity to
pick us off 1 by 1. I'm trying to tell y'all bro, I
have not been wrong once. Ever since this man came into
office I've been right every single time.

(13:11):
I really hope that the black people that was detained by ICE
in Chicago is all right and yet at the same time I fear for the
life and where they will end up at because now their lives are
in grave danger. I'll see y'all in the next one.
Those ICE people are in Chicago televising black Americans.
So black people, if you thought you were safe, you are not.

(13:34):
It's not only for the immigrants.
They are cuffing Black Americans, sending off flash
bangs, doing all types of illegal things, cuffing these
people for no reason, asking them if they have warrants,
asking them for their date of birth, who they are, all of the
above. It's crazy, it's sick, and

(13:57):
they're probably coming to a neighborhood near you.
And I'm never gonna shut up about this.
You may try to silence me. I'll go on another platform and
talk about it. But Black people, be safe for
real, because these things are happening in the middle of the
night. People said they went outside of

(14:19):
their apartments to be greeted by ice yelling police, police
flash bangs and and people asking them if they have
Mormons. It's nuts.
It's actually scary and, and, and it's scary.

(14:42):
All right, guys. You know, things are getting
real. Actually.
First of all, we have to set therecord straight.
You know, I know Latinos actually try to warn Black folks
about this. They try telling Black people to
join them in their mass protestsagainst mass deportation.
But they were using this in the wrong way.

(15:04):
It wasn't actually for the better or for unity.
It's because they were affected that now they care about Black
people. But.
