Not many taken yet, one of the first was a long-time flower street vendor right outside of the high school where I used to work on the southwest side of the city. ICE has been here for many years and worked within the law. Not hopeful that the new recruits even know the laws...
I haven't seen any downtown and the massive protests over the weekend seemed to happen without any issues.

The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago have filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration over its effort to deploy National Guard troops to the state.
The parties are asking a judge to block the Trump administration from federalizing the Illinois National Guard and from sending to Illinois any guard members from other states, including Texas.
"The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president's favor," Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul wrote in the complaint.
