"As ICE patrols swarm Chicago, the tamale vendors who serve up steaming hot
corn husks from the sidewalks or sell them to hungry bar patrons from coolers
have retreated from their regular spots for fear of being snatched.
That has prompted a brigade of bicyclists to take to the streets in a show of
support, buying out the vendors so they can go home to safety while making the
money they need to survive.
At least three street vendors have been detained by federal agents since the
Trump administration started operations Midway Blitz and At Large last month.
The controversial immigration enforcement operations are supposed to target
undocumented people with serious criminal histories — but many Chicagoans have
reported loved ones being taken even if they do not have a history."
