Volunteers and Kids Confront ICE in Chicago Suburbs | JQJO

In Hanover Park and across Chicago suburbs, volunteer patrols are mobilizing to warn neighbors about Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz. Kids with whistles and phones, coached by an organizer known as Ruby, document enforcement actions and urge residents to keep their distance and know their rights. Fear has kept families home, but 17-year-old Ivan patrols at dawn to spot suspicious cars. Activist Cristóbal Cavazos uses loud, non-aggressive tactics, even as federal agents escalate — including tear gas at a Chicago protest — and accuse groups of interference.
