New documents confirm what we suspected for months.

"The landlord had given federal officials, who were already targeting immigrants in Chicago, the blessing to search the building...

Building management blamed Venezuelan tenants for their own (management’s) failure to provide... needed maintenance and repairs ...

Within hours of the raid, workers from the management company were... clearing out apartments"

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building

The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments.”

The #1001albums project threw "Chicago Transit Authority" (1969) at me today.

I'm flabbergasted!
Why did I think #Chigago is a "AOR soft rock" band, I'm seriously asking how and why was I making this assumption?
This album "grooves like a horny moose" (which is my take on a finnish saying). I'm thinking I have to go thought their latter albums, I hear they kinda changed in to 80's, so maybe stop there.
