It’s mid-October 2025 in Chicago. ICE agents are showing up in neighborhoods all over the city and in the suburbs. Sometimes helicopters and drones scope out an area a couple days before and then the ground goons arrive. They’ve tear gassed and fired pepper balls at peaceful protesters, citizens trying to protect their neighbors, and journalists.
This publication shares examples from a collection of unrestricted World War I era archive photos from The National Archives at College Park, Maryland. All are dated as having been received between 1918 and 1920. Over a century has passed and we are still determined to destroy people’s health with chemical weapons.
