Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city by population. Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down doors, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from their apartments, residents and witnesses told the Chicago Sun-Times.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people without legal immigration status, including some with criminal records. The spokesperson claimed the South Shore neighborhood is “a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates.”
“Due to the size of this operation, DHS law enforcement is continuing to gather more information on those arrested and will provide more information when available,” the spokesperson said. “Federal law enforcement officers will not stand by and allow criminal activity flourish in our American neighborhoods.”
When rounding up children to send to Concentration Camps, the name you can trust is U-Haul.
Trust U-Haul with all your Concentration Camp needs.
That name again is U-Haul.
UHaul better stop renting to them or it might hurt their brand. When the mass exodus happens people will need a truck
How would U-Haul know prior to giving them the truck?
Are we assuming the people not carrying identification while abducting children are being forthright about their purposes when renting the vehicle? Seems unlikely.

Found the guy with U-Haul in his investment portfolio.
Based on your “will someone think of poor U-Haul” slant, in light of hauling children off to Concentration Camps, i feel a strong moral imperative to blast my messaging louder, and see what can be done in a coordinated manner, to inflict maximal financial harm to U-Haul.
You’ve inspired me.
So… I think we’re all on the same page that it’s clearly unethical for the feds to be doing this to people. Taking people out of their homes in the night, even not fully dressed, that horrible. And to be clear, it’s ICE doing that under Trump’s orders.
That said, what you wrote above, that all sounds pretty unhinged. I mean, u-haul is not doing this, they rent vehicles. You might as well be angry at Ford, for making the vehicles. You might as well get angry at Walmart or Amazon fire selling them zip ties.

It seems like your primary role here is to placate, and to encourage people to be concerned, but otherwise inert.
Hand wringing won’t bring down the regime.
Fucking up their processes and being as disruptive as possible will.
The fact remains that U-Haul is now known as a shipping company that delivers right wing extremists to peaceful protests, and one that whisks children off to be deported.
Concentrate less on making me more docile, and more on inflicting financial harm on the complacent and complicit.
That’s a lot of extrapolation. I don’t care about the company, I only asked a logistical question. I was thinking how they could have prevented this from happening. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible.
Having rented a moving truck before, I’ve been asked the basic questions of expected mileage or if you’re driving it out of town and whether you want additional insurance. My point was that there is no method to verify what the customer says about their purposes. Rentals get used for purposes other than house moving all the time and there’s not really a way to stop it.
I have no warmth for the largest moving company in North America, which is why I use a local option when possible, but I also won’t attribute malice for what isn’t possible for them to stop.
It’s entirely plausible this same thing is happening with rental trucks of Penske or small local places and it just hasn’t made the news. Despite naming them, my question had nothing to do with U-Haul specifically, so coordinated action isn’t particularly relevant unless you are advocating everyone buy their own moving truck.

This is all just plea bargaining to claim complacency instead of complicity.
I’ll redouble my efforts.
I don’t see how you think it’s complicity. Has there been any evidence of U-Haul giving trucks en masse to ICE for the purpose of transporting abducted people?
If you are of the belief that U-Haul is complicit, then you should have no trouble answering the question. How does any rental service prevent their vehicles from being used for anything other than the advertised purpose?
Surely we won’t be putting that responsibility on the minimum wage employee working the front desk.

We are simply expressing differences in our priorities and values.
You are putting in extra work here to ensure that the good name of U-Haul remains unsullied.
I am putting in words to discourage businesses from participating in a Holocaust.
But please, go on and tell me more about the plight of U-Haul.
Can you imagine how crazy it would be working at U-Haul?
“ yes um one last question… are you using this to roundup children?”
How?
Literally, how can they possibly do that? How can you be certain the person you’re renting to isn’t a law enforcement officer? Background checks? Would it be fair to block these people from ever renting a moving van (like for when they’re moving)? If they did bar law enforcement from using their vehicles, and a federal agency brings them up on charges for obstructing justice, how could they possibly fight that claim?
Wondering how long before we have our own Kristallnacht and Trump goes full Final Solution…
Probably by next week
It sounds like they’re training a paramilitary on women and children
These fucking losers should be fixing roads and bridges
Nah, they should be fertilizer.
So there’s no chance they aren’t grabbing US Citizens during this shit right?
It’s been documented repeatedly. Legal visa holders, legal green card holders, fully naturalized citizens, natural born citizens, it doesn’t fucking matter.
If they don’t like you, you’re “illegal”.
These guys just wanted and excuse to cosplay as special forces, but without having to put the effort you would normally need in the entry process
Meal Team 6 probably had to double up on the ropes.
“Yeah that’s right, uh-huh, we’re bad-ass tough guys! We’re macho soldiers! We’re not afraid of no naked children, no sir! We’ll kick those naked childrens’ asses!” *makes body builder poses* “We’re so macho! I’m so hard right now!!1!”
Parkour!
