I found these postings at a google group where the organizer of the ChicagoMayDay March has been passing information. It talks about an ICE arrest at O’Hara Airport. I did not see anything in the local news, so these (their) postings are the only documentation on it. (Did any local ALIPAC hear any official news media on this?)

The 3 postings are:
1) Is a alert telling about what happen
2) From Jorge Mujica explains the sanctuary policy of Chicago, as they know it to be.
(NOTE: Jorge Mujica is a major organizer of the ChicagoMayDay. Other big names on the Hispanic active list for the Chicago area are Carlos Arango, and Margaret Carrasco (she is an activist in Waukegan))
NOTICE How he uses the word Demand
3) Customs and Border Protection statement on O'Hare Arrest
(Great, it gives me another name and phone of the local ICE office, Chicago area ALIPAC’ers keep the number)
