They’re fighting ICE with whistles. And it’s working. Across Chicago, neighbors filled community centers and cafés for “Whistlemania,” a movement turning everyday noise into organized resistance.
From Logan Square to Belmont Cragin, hundreds gathered to build whistle kits, each one a pocket-sized alarm system: a whistle, a “Know Your Rights” card, and a zine explaining how to alert your block if immigration agents show up. By the end of the night, they’d packed 17,000 kits.
