As the shrill sound of whistles echoed through a parking garage in Chicago's North Side on Tuesday, two people flung their car doors open, ducked inside and shrank down into their seats. Outside, a convoy of federal immigration enforcement vehicles that had arrived in the area just minutes prior sped off. The piercing blow of a whistle has become a Chicago-wide means of signaling that Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection agents are present. It warns undocumented people to flee and invites US citizens to come to the scene to record arrests, give detainees legal information and discourage agents from lingering. |
