A trick-or-treating retreat is coming to West Chicago amid a growing presence of immigration enforcement
In light of the migrant attacks on Chicago’s west side, Audrey Luhmann teamed up with a group of first responders, college students and family to bring candy to two pet chews at the facility this year.
Luhmann, 40, who organized the event with his signal group called dating together and other members of the community, brought almost complete haribos, snickers, escorts with a variety of candy on Friday evening to children around Timber Lake and the park’s main houses. This event was an opportunity to bring a sense of normalcy and safety to the deception – or treatment of families who may be afraid of the power to come to the country.
This idea came to him because children are affected “directly by oppression” in our areas, he said, talking about the attack on the land and its impact on the daily life of families.
“This is just a small thing, even small things like deception – or the treatment is now off the table, if their families will be protected, then we think: Then I thought: What if we bring them deception.
And this is how to recover the trick – or treat.
Luhmann collected about $900 worth of candy in 72 hours with donations as large as $100 to distribute to children at 1200 kings Circle and 813 main st. in the Western Chings. He and about 40 other volunteers dressed as disney characters and superhero-luhmann dressed as elsa children from 4: 30 to 6 PM the children were able to choose candy from each Candy Pirey.
A mother was driving around the main road when her children were delighted by the sight of about 20 people handing out candy. His children, who wore stripes of color, a swat officer and a vampire, it was said that Carrera, Carrera of Chicago, was very afraid of what was found in Stration Chicago when the strategy of West Chicago.
“In the last months, every time they see something they say ‘it’s snowing,'” Carrera said. “They look at the highway and say, ‘Mom, there’s migration!'”
Luhmann encouraged members of the group to wear whistles around their necks, which he described as “a symbol of the whole Chicago area, and they affect the organization of the west side of Chicago, to help patrol the streets on Friday night.
Since September. 15, Luhmann said the West Chicago community has been hit hard by immigration enforcement. As part of the rapid response team, he said he receives reports of daily enforcement. Luhmann, who has his car stocked with a megaphone, sheets of gas, and sheets to cover the car in case of pepper spray,
“I want to do my best to take some of this, and give it to them one night, where they can look, and think: ‘Everybody here is here for me.'”
