A Nigerian woman in Chicago has decried escalating ICE raids reportedly targeting even U.S. citizens and green card holders.
A Nigerian lady residing in Chicago has raised alarm over what she described as intensified immigration raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming that even citizens and green card holders are being targeted.
In a viral TikTok video, the lady, identified as nocommon1, said, “ICE immigration in Chicago isn’t for the weak. The way they’re packing everybody, I don’t understand even citizens, Black Americans.” She added that the situation has sparked widespread fear and confusion among residents. “The citizens are panicking; they’re just taking citizens, green card holders, everyone,” she said.
She further described the tense atmosphere, adding, “America is hot,” suggesting growing distress in the city.
Her comments come after Amnesty International USA condemned a September 30 pre-dawn ICE raid on a Black neighborhood in Chicago, where agents allegedly entered homes without warrants, detained residents, and left significant property damage.
