Caption: does this remind you. of anything. Quoting a news article: During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago's South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn't the feds - it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.... "I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed. "I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions. "I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her, 'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.
