Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.
At a rally Wednesday evening at Northcenter Town Square, elected officials voiced frustration with immigration enforcement in the city. Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said the parents from the school had arranged legal representation for Galeano, though they were unsure where she had been taken.
“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you,” Martin said. “There were four [federal agents], but there are hundreds of us. ”
I get that the quote about feeling despair is supposed to be read in the “look for the helpers” sense, but it could also be interpreted in the discouraging bystander effect way that there were hundreds of us and only four federal agents still succeeded.
EDIT:
Another possibility I overlooked, maybe instead of it being meant in the “look for the helpers” it was actually more in the “can you dig it?” & jury nullification sense…
