In Chicago’s Little Village, neighbors are pushing back against federal immigration raids by distributing bright orange whistles—handed out at weekly “know your rights” workshops—to warn each other of ICE operations. Inspired by similar tactics in Los Angeles, the community response aims to help undocumented residents avoid detention and resist opening doors to agents. About 1,200 whistles have been distributed, with others buying and sharing more. Concerns also grow over federal use of invasive cellphone surveillance tech during Trump-era enforcement. Community solidarity is their frontline defense.
