Local Officials Face Harassment, Doxxing After Sharing ICE Alerts With Residents – Block Club Chicago

“My job, which I don’t view as partisan, is to share information that helps people feel more protected,” said Ald. Timmy Knudsen, who is a lawyer. “I always approach these alerts with a legal mind. What we shared was all publicly available information that had been shared with us by the public.”

The harassment reflects a broader pattern playing out across Chicago: Local officials and community organizers increasingly find themselves targeted online for actions that, in their view, are basic public service regarding immigration enforcement.”

In their view??? That’s the problem with those opposing immigration enforcement. They completely disregard someone that is actually performing their job in immigration enforcement (ICE arresting and deporting illegal immigrants) vs. their actions which is to hinder the very people charged with this duty. You can’t make this stuff up.

I wonder how these politicians would feel if their every move were posted on social media? Seems they don’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Cool! It was okay when SCOTUS judges ( and their neighbors ) were being harassed, but it happens to some two bit aldercreatures and it’s the end of the world. Shoe, meet other foot. And start kicking hard.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Block Club is a fake news fraud.

Here is what happened.

Local Democrats tried to doxx ICE officers.

Then people wrote mean things about them online.

Somebody call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmbulance.

I saw some rumpled, unshaven clueless looking dude on tv yesterday stumbling his way through an explanation of what Block Club thinks it’s accomplishing. If that unmade bed is any indication of the staff there, they aren’t worth the oxygen they consume.

Insurrectionists Ald. Knudsen and Rep. Croke are interfering with federal law enforcement. They should be in jail!

“It’s not a good feeling,” Knudsen said. “What they do is present information in a slanted way, and they know their commenters will make the threats for them so they don’t have to.”

Hmm, who does this sound like? Classic denialism from the party that started it.

But it’s ok when the shoe is on the other foot.
Cry me a river. No sympathy
Hey, stick up for, and protect American Citizens! You are no better than the politicians of the EU who sell out their own native people!
