'It was heartbreaking': Naked zip-tied children dragged from homes in 'surreal' ICE raid' [View all]

https://www.rawstory.com/it-was-heartbreaking-naked-zip-tied-children-dragged-from-homes-in-surreal-ice-raid/

'Just hours after President Donald Trump said U.S. soldiers should use America's cities as “training grounds,” federal law enforcement officials on Tuesday night descended upon an apartment complex in Chicago where witnesses say they broke down residents’ doors, smashed furniture and belongings, and dragged dozens of them — including children — into U-Haul vans.'

My words: This is straight from Hitler's Nazi handbook.

Here's another article from Yahoo News:

'ICE Zip-Ties Children in Horrific Raid on Chicago Apartment Building'

'A witness of the same name told the Chicago Sun-Times it was “heartbreaking” to see “kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers.”'
