3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rev. Michael Pfleger, Faith Community of St. Sabina Catholic Church:
"Your threats to invade Chicago and Illinois and declaring a war on the rights and freedoms of citizens by ordering masked men in unmarked cars and vans to kidnap men, women and children and harass the people on our street without representation or due process simply by naming them criminals without evidence or proof. Well, the real criminal with 34 felonies sits behind a golden desk ordering chaos. Mr. Trump, you have met your match"
4. Sign at rally reads "stop pretending your racism is patriotism."
5.SOUNDBITE (English) Rev. David Black, First Presbyterian Church of Chicago
"Well, Donald Trump thinks he has a hammer in his hand. And he thinks he can bring that hammer to Chicago. But he’s about to find out that Chicago is an anvil. He is about to find out that Chicago is a forge. And his minions are about to find out that ICE cannot survive the fire of a forge."
6. Chicago flag focus turns to focus on sign reading ICE out of Illinois. ICE out of everywhere."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rami Nashashibi , Executive Director, Inner City Muslim Action Network:
"When he posts, ‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning,’ that is a sick and evil man. That is a sick and evil articulation. And don’t think he’s just talking about smelling deportations, right. He’s talking about smelling mass incarceration. I’m sure he loves the smell of mass misery."

"Well, Cornel West says that justice is what love looks like in public. Justice is what looks like public. So friends, pastors, people of faith out there claiming the name of Jesus or claiming the Name of God. I will ask you what does your love look like in Public? What does your love look like in public? Because I’m here today to say that it doesn’t look like what we’re seeing from many churches and many places, spaces of faith."

"So I don’t know what Bible they’re reading, but the Bible I read says that you will love the stranger. You will love this stranger.

There’s only us."

STORYLINE:
Faith leaders gathered in Chicago Monday to voice their resistance to President Donald Trump’s plans to send federal immigration agents and National Guard troops in Chicago.
They chanted "Faith over fear! Faith over fear! We don’t need your troops over here!"
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump has amplified his promises to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to Chicago by posting a parody image from “Apocalypse Now” featuring a ball of flames as helicopters zoom over the nation’s third-largest city.
“‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning,’” Trump wrote on his social media site. “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.”
