Midway Blitz was cruel and unnecessary

To: Sen. Grassley, Sen. Ernst, Rep. Feenstra

From: A verified voter in Ames, IA

December 5

Illinois is our neighboring state. We see what's happening in Chicago. It's now been reported that only 3% of those detained in Midway Blitz were criminals. Was that worth rubber bulleting a clergy member in the head? Putting children on the street in night wearing nothing but their underwear to raid an apartment building? Having children get pepper sprayed? This is disgusting. How can you celebrate this as a success? My family has visited Chicago every year. We are skipping the trip next year, because our OWN GOVERNMENT has made us SCARED to visit. Are you proud of your disgusting actions? Even if you're just a racist who couldn't care less about traumatizing brown children, but you're disrupting and hurting the white citizens too.
