The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building (www.propublica.org)

For months, the Trump administration has justified its dramatic midnight raid on a Chicago apartment complex by saying that it had intelligence that the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But officials have provided no evidence to back up the claim.

Now, new documents confirm in the government’s own words that what prompted the raid was more pedestrian: allegations that immigrants were squatting in the complex. And the landlord had given federal officials, who were already targeting immigrants in Chicago, the blessing to search the building.

this exactly. That allows them to go into the building and the common areas and heck even the off limits areas. but when residences are rented out they are the private residences of the people renting it and either needs their permission or a warrant for the specific residence. I hate the way the news is covering it. They include a line that all who were detained were deported but from what I can tell there are a half dozen or so fighting it in the us and of course we know ice has again and again deported people wrongly but they say it like its true and there is no nuanse. The place had well over a hundred units that were all broken into and tossed with private property stolen, destroyed, and/or thrown outside. Then also they zip tied a whole bunch out front which I guess they don't include as detaining from their one statement. Sounds like its actually arrested and as I said even that was a lie.

There was no need to rapel from helicopters to detain squatters either. We paid for illegal evictions, essentially, followed by deportations thst definitely violated due process.
