Video of incident we mentioned earlier—masked ICE agents rushing to move a car out of the road after they broke windows and detained someone on the southwest side. This car was eventually returned to family. We're told agents abandoned several other vehicles today around Chicago.

I don't think I see the media making this distinction enough. "Deportation" is generally understood to be a transfer of a person to *liberty* elsewhere. Transferring them to indefinite, violent detention is not deportation.
