Under the pretense of targeting the \u2018worst of the worst,\u2019 we have instead seen indiscriminate and vile targeting of community members in Black and Brown communities across all of Chicago,\u201d said Geovanni Celaya, an organizer with Latino Union of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Celaya said agents have been detaining day laborers at hardware store parking lots without due process, instead focusing on the language they speak as a pretense to detain them. These detentions hurt the person arrested and their networks of family, friends, coworkers and neighbors, Celaya said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not a good feeling having to map in your head how your family will have to survive with the main form of income gone,\u201d Celaya said.<\/p>\n<p>During Wednesday\u2019s meeting, Rehab read a passage from \u201cThe Diary of a Young Girl\u201d by Anne Frank that he said was relevant to what Chicago is experiencing. That\u2019s because \u2014 like Nazi Germany in the 1940s \u2014 the United States government is turning against its own people, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Terrible things are happening outside,&#8217;\u201d Rehab said, quoting the famous diary. \u201c\u2018Poor, helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated.
