"These journalists have been out on the front lines, doing outstanding work under incredibly difficult circumstances,” Executive Editor Mitch Pugh said. “Regardless of what happens on social media, I know I'm grateful for their poise and professionalism, and I think their work speaks for itself."

Trump launched Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago in honor of a young suburban woman who was killed by a man accused of driving drunk while being in the country without the legal paperwork. Last month, one of his ICE agents working Midway Blitz was charged with drunken driving.

There’s a @briancassella.bsky.social shot for this from just today!!

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Chicago: this is the guy, police say, who allegedly spray painted swastikas and ICE rules on buildings in Little Village.

A rash of vandalism has shaken communities across Chicago, and while residents have mustered support for their affected neighbors, the vandalism reflects a concerning rise in hateful ideologies, experts and advocates said.

“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

People are complicated, part 2. Arpineh Masihi is a devout supporter of President Donald Trump – even now that she's locked up as an illegal immigrant. "I will support him until the day I die. He's making America great again."

The presence of federal agents at the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture in Humboldt Park on Tuesday set off a chain reaction of fear in a community already on edge. But the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said the officers weren’t there for immigration enforcement.

Immigrants in Chicago say they will celebrate this Independence Day not because of the Trump administration, but in spite of it. “I’m proud for the country and people who have the protests,” said one. “That is the real democratic voice.”

These are two very similar stories of Mississippi families torn apart by ICE. But Kerlin Moreno-Orellana's story has gotten way less attention on social media than Kasper Eriksen's did, and thus his family's GoFundMe is getting WAY less support. It's a big disparity.

ICE took her mother in Chicago. Now a 6-year-old is left without a guardian or a legal path to reunite in Honduras. A story about the children left behind by deportations—and the lack of infrastructure to care for them in the U.S or for reunification. My latest w/ @nellsalzman.bsky.social

The sounds of one of Chicago’s largest protests in recent memory reverberated throughout downtown Saturday, as tens of thousands gathered in a united admonishment of President Donald Trump, marching through the center of the city, pausing in front of the tower bearing his name to direct their ire.

Chicago showed up big time.

The No Kings protest in Chicago was so thick and so massive, the march had been going for 20 minutes yet the crowd in Daley Plaza had been unable to move forward, one photographer with an aerial view reported.

Went to the "senior" #nokings rally in Edgewater with roughly 1,000 human neighbors and several very good doggos. Lots of older folks, lots of kids, several people using canes/wheelchairs/guide dogs -- it was great to have a protesting option that didn't involve marching for a couple miles!

Tens of thousands of people march through the Loop Saturday as part of the nationwide No Kings protest. Half a dozen other marches are taking place in Chicago suburbs.

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order directing President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops he deployed to assist with immigration enforcement back to California.

Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker defended Illinois’ sanctuary laws before a House committee Thursday and pointed at congressional Republicans and Democrats for using the issue to try to score political points rather than enacting comprehensive immigration reform.

Crowd is growing as Chicago again protests ICE raids and Trump’s deployment of troops in Los Angeles. “People are joined together…we will be marching to demand a stop to the raids and protection for our families.”

Outside the Chicago Cultural center on Michigan Avenue, a protester dressed in black and am officer confronted one another. The protester hit the ground, and a white shirt pulled the officer off the protester. Police surrounded the protester on the ground as he crawled toward the traffic median

5:30 p.m. several hundred people in Federal Plaza for second planned event of the day (though this picture is mostly flamingo).

As officers detained people and cars waited in traffic, a woman told to drive west on Monroe had a brief, shouted exchange with an officer. After making a noise of apparent frustration, she drove across the intersection down a street filled with marchers. People screamed and scattered.

Asked whether the Clerk’s Office intends to clarify its messaging to online applicants about if their records are safe, Martinez said, “We actually don’t guarantee that.”

The question is, who is left in the market for a Tesla? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

ICE is denying people the right to due process, abducting and trafficking them to foreign countries and locking them up indefinitely in dangerous prisons. Now they’re preparing the military to deploy on US soil and in our communities to help. This is authoritarianism.

Oriette D’Angelo, 34, came to Chicago on a student visa over a decade ago, seeking professional opportunities and escape from a crumbling infrastructure and violence in Venezuela. Trump's string of executive orders and court decisions on the legality of these orders has left her in a state of limbo.

Chicago aldermen got bruised up today tussling with ICE.

Our homepage @thetriibe.com is all about teen “trends” and the lack of teen 3rd spaces in Chicago as the city approaches a possible vote on a revised curfew policy this week. Visit thetriibe.com to read our coverage, done in partnership with South Side Weekly.

The Trump Truth Store has been cited for several code violations, but the owner claims she’s being unfairly targeted for her political beliefs.

Just wrapped up a robust and informative conversation on immigration coverage at the @cfr.org Local Journalists Workshop in New York City. Feeling inspired, empowered and ready to get back to work. #CFRLocalJournalists

The right word is not deported. It is disappeared. That is what’s happening, and glad to see the Guardian call it what it is.

Join us!

Thousands of people gathered in Chicago’s Loop Saturday, joining the nationwide protest against the Trump administration. Here’s @chicagotribune.com’s photo gallery.

The attorney representing two Venezuelan siblings announced Wednesday that one of the brothers will be released from ICE custody under supervision so he can donate his kidney to his ailing younger brother in Cicero. @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social was the first to report the brother had been detained.

Today's Chicagohenge. Friday's sunrise in Chicago. Happy Spring...without the snow!

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A U.S. citizen was arrested by ICE and spent the night in a deportation center.

Protests in Chicago continue, including Tuesday night's "emergency protest" against the arrest of Columbia graduate and green card holder Mahmoud Khalil, an activist. “ICE detaining someone for what seems like political reasons is particularly frightening,” said Anna Strzepek, 19, a Loop resident.

Just this week, Chicago is set to see at least six protests throughout the city, from a rally for Ukraine last Sunday to a march for International Women’s Day this Saturday. While the focus of each protest has varied, a common theme appears to unite them all: a rejection of Trump.

Meanwhile, in Illinois, a Chicago landlord was ordered to pay $80K to former tenants for threatening to call ICE on them, a violation of a 2019 state law. Illinois was the second state in the country to pass such protections for immigrant tenants.
