I live in Chicago... I live a block over from Cicero. ICE visited my home yesterday. ICE didn't knock. ICE tried to forcefully open my window. ICE opened my screen and asked me to sign papers. I AM an American Citizen. Born on U.S. soil. ICE forcefully tried to enter my home! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Masked men trying to force their way into my home will be shot. No words from me, no hesitation. I have a plan and a backup plan and I practice. After I unload like hell, I'm getting low and calling 911 ASAP.

Yes, they make catch me unawares, but it's a small house and unless I've been out and forgot to get in the safe, there is a weapon somewhere within reach. Yes, I may die. No, I will not allow my freedom to be torn away by thugs.
