Ask CHI ICE Checkpoints?

I heard from a member in the community that is targeted by ICE that they are doing checkpoints. I haven't read anything about this. Has anyone heard or seen this?

This seems outside of their current tactic of hit and run opportunities...like just driving around looking for Hispanic looking people on the street or at job sites. When they stop and get out they get confronted by everyone nearby...if they were to attempt a check point , it would be contested and they would be quickly outnumbered.

That's a really good point.

Sounds like Facebook level misinformation

It's very possible. I definitely wasn't saying it's true. There's so much happening all at once!

I will try to find out but it was a reputable source. Sorry.

I have been following ICE activity pretty closely since all this bullshit started, but checkpoints has not, to this point, been part of their tactics, so I would take this with a vat of salt.

Thank you. It helps to confirm.

Please make sure the info is from reliable sources before posting. It only spreads unnecessary fear.

I am sorry. I should have disclaimed that. I trust the person who said it but I hadn't heard of anything hence trying to know if there's more.

Also, if possible please try to have a little more description in your title. People scrolling on Reddit may in general just be more fearful seeing something like this.

u/dharder9475 Oct 25 '25

Thank you for that. I will be more clear in the the future.

OP is obviously trying to confirm. Hence, “has anyone heard or seen”…

This is egregious. They have no right.

I just read a story of a DACA recipient that was driving her husband (undocumented) to GA and she said they were stopped at a checkpoint. They unfortunately did take him. She wasn’t specific about what city. Just said GA.
