“#Chicago’s been doing just fine, & then these guys showed up,” Vasquez said of federal #immigration officers. “There is big concern about what these unidentified, #masked men are doing in this city without accountability. Chicagoans are just trying to live their life. We’re not going to tolerate #unconstitutional #authoritarianism.”

The statement [lied] that federal agents used “crowd control measures” after a group of people gathered & turned hostile.

#ICE Is Cracking Down on #Chicago.
Chicagoans Are Fighting Back.
Residents have begun forming volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal #immigration agents. Others honk their horns or blow whistles when they see agents nearby.

The AP identified multiple examples of #ICE using the black-&-yellow full-body restraint device, the WRAP, in #deportations. Its use was described to the AP by 5 people who said they were restrained in the device, sometimes for hours, on ICE deportation flights dating to 2020. And witnesses & family members in 4 countries told the AP about its use on at least 7 other people this year.

“It was just like a #kidnapping,” the Nigerian man, who’s part of a federal lawsuit, told The AP in an interview from the detainment camp in which he & other deportees were being held in Ghana. Like others placed in the restraints interviewed by the AP, he spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

When they asked to speak to their #attorney, he said, the officers refused & straitjacketed the already-shackled men in full-body restraint suits called the WRAP, then loaded them onto a plane for the 16-hour-flight to West Africa.
Referred to as “the burrito” or “the bag,” the WRAP has become a harrowing part of #deportations for some #immigrants.

ICE’s use of full-body restraints during #deportations raises concerns over #inhumane treatment
The Nigerian man described being roused with other detainees in September in the middle of the night. #ICE officers clasped shackles on their hands & feet, he said, & told them they were being sent to Ghana, even though none of them was from there.

He said agents refused to #identify themselves or say if they had a #warrant, shoving him & at one point putting his arms behind his back; he wasn’t able to get the name of the man being detained.
“I ran out & tried to do the lawyer thing,” Gheewala said. “They completely stonewalled, just asked me to get out of the way.”

Each time they arrived, the vehicles were already gone.
They said at least one person had been taken by federal agents at the intersection of Wilson & Sawyer, but another had gotten away during the response.
“This is part of the chaos they like to bring to our communities. That person was saved due to the efforts of our communities, but unfortunately, somebody was [still] #kidnapped from our neighborhood today,”Guzmán said.

Trump's administration sent another third-country deportation flight to the small African nation of Eswatini on Monday, officials from both countries said, the second in recent months despite objections from lawyers for the immigrants.

The president of #Ghana, John Mahama, confirmed last week that a group of 14 West Africans had arrived as part of Trump’s “third country” #deportation [#rendition] policy, including the 5 plaintiffs.

Chutkan’s ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed Friday by the #CivilRights group Asian Americans Advancing Justice that alleged that the #Trump admin sought to circumvent #immigration #law by sending to #Ghana the 5 men, who had been granted certain #deportation protections because they had proved to an immigration judge that they could face #torture or persecution if they returned to their country of origin.
#DueProcess #rendition #StateSponsoredAbduction #HumanRights
One of the men was flown from #Ghana to his home country of #Gambia, despite saying he risked persecution because of his sexuality, & a #US court ruling that he should not be deported to Gambia, Chutkan wrote, adding that the man is now living in hiding. One other deportee is a citizen of Gambia, while the remaining three are citizens of #Nigeria.

However, Chutkan ruled that she could not stop the #deportation of these immigrants to their home countries because they are now in the custody of the Ghanian government & “this court cannot order the U.S. government to order a foreign government to take any action,” adding that the court’s “hands are tied.”

US District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan wrote in a ruling that she was “alarmed & dismayed” by these removals, stating that they “appear to be part of a pattern & widespread effort to evade the government’s legal obligations by doing indirectly what it cannot do directly.”
