Court records show #Chicago #immigration raid was about #squatters, not Venezuelan #gangs

Quickly after the Sept 30, 2025, raid, #DHS published a dramatic video of the operation showing agents with their #guns drawn, some rappelling out of a #BlackHawkHelicopter onto the roof, & leading people [including children & people not dressed] away with their hands zip-tied.
On multiple occasions, the #Trump admin has said the building was frequented by members of #TrenDeAragua , a Venezuelan gang.
