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