A 15-year Elmwood Park resident reacts to Village President Angelo "Skip" Saviano's recent remarks on ICE operations, saying, "We all as citizens and residents of this town deserve to feel safe in our own home."
As a 48 year resident of Elmwood Park, I continue to be appalled at the lack of response to ICE presence in our town. How are we supposed to do, act, respond to them??
I don't even feel safe to walk to the park, or a post office box or the corner store because I am brown and we are targeted daily. I feel unsafe every time I step outside my home. It's no way for anyone to live and having Lawmakers in my community who sit idly by and do not support me or help to not be afraid is astounding. You will be Primaried.
You do u want the info distributed by the organizations said. Document and do not physically engage or interfere. Otherwise it will just turn our little town I to the chaos that is being allowed in Chicago.
Sorry could not correct that after posting. There has been info distributed on how to document but not physically intefre or engage. Hopefully folks locally will follow that and prevent the chaos that has been seen with folks taking things to the point of illegal actions in the city of Chicago.
I think the divergence for many is what we feel we do or do not want our local government to do.
For me I want my streets taken care of, the fire and PD well supplied and ran and for city services in general to remain uninterrupted. The city services are really about as socialist a system as I find comfortable.
I do not care the political leaning or the opinions of my local government on the happening on a federal level. I did not elect them to do any more then run the town. They are their to keep city services intacted.
The statements that have been released by other townships to me seem to be pecocking by polititians between elections and in the end have no relevantanc nore fix any of what is going on. They also seem to bolster bad elements in the current protesters which lead to more hostile interactions.
i am HAPPY TO SEE ICE here or anywhere to clean up the illegals. our village deserves this. why do you want to protest ICE agents cleaning out the villains???? i am pleased with the mayor for handling the situation in the manner he has chosen. Saviano DID respond, you obviously did not read all article. by protesting you are asking for chaos in our neighborhood. you know if you are so unhappy with the leadership here i hear that broadview has some space available, check it out.

President Saviano should protect all of his community, no matter of their color. The hesitation to his response at the board meeting is concerning.
