“Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated,” Brad Lander wrote. “Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was ‘beneath the men and women of ICE.’ This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.”

They zip tied children.

ICE in Chicagoland today: CBP agents were seemingly everywhere, with arrests across several neighborhoods and the suburbs. Exact numbers are unknown. Neighbors in Garfield Park witnessed feds choking a Black man in the street, and Border Patrol snatched people at retail strips and traffic stops.

Adding "feds fucking choking a man in broad daylight" to the list. Absolute terror across Chicago today. Begging for national attention that matches the level of crisis on the ground here feels like screaming underwater at this point.

"Never in our history has critical resistance to the status quo been more important. The growth of the Prison-Industrial complex has been appallingly rapid and the escalating repression that has accompanied it is totally alarming."

If Pritzker thinks federal forces are acting unlawfully against Illinoisans, why is he placing the evidence-gathering burden on the targets/victims? 🤔 Aren't there state & local law enforcement agencies given billions each year to do that work? 🤔🤔 Who's being protected here? bsky.app/profile/that...

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Developing – Feds put a Black man in a chokehold in Chicago's East Garfield Park

HAPPENING NOW — Video obtained by The TRiiBE shows a federal agent with his hands around the neck of a Black man following an apparent car crash on the West Side near California Avenue and Congress Parkway. thetriibe.com/2025/10/vide...

The Global Sumud Flotilla, with Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela's grandson and European lawmakers aboard, includes some 50 boats and 500 activists and is carrying a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid.

Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia said over the weekend that the administration moved him from one U.S. ICE facility in Virginia to another in Pennsylvania, raising concerns over his access to legal counsel ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/30/r...

UPDATE: Drop Site News reporter Alex Colston (@recolston.bsky.social) reports: Israeli naval vessels circled twice this morning but didn't board. The Alma’s feed has returned — no soldiers were seen on board, suggesting it was not intercepted. At the moment, no naval vessels are close to the ship.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

and now masked agents detain five people on the southwest side. in particular, feds have targeted the cicero home depot parking lot repeatedly over the past month or so.

Replacing a website with a text-message bot is not a move that engenders confidence in the new owners 🙄

(Reuters) - More than 150,000 federal employees will leave the U.S. government payroll this week after accepting buyouts - the largest single-year exodus of civil servants in nearly 80 years .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

BREAKING: The Global Sumud Flotilla organisers have declared a state of emergency on board, as they prepare for the expected Israeli interception of their mission to break the blockade of Gaza.

Israel has no right to exist as the genocidal apartheid state that Zionism requires it to be. #StopStarvingGaza #StopArmingIsrael #BDS #FreePalestine #AbolishZionism #DismantleWhiteness

feds have been all over the northwest side today. at least six people snatched so far by masked federal agents—one person from in front of a school, another from outside a convenience store, and one person near a public park.

“A revolution needs to happen,” said Mandy Tovar, a teacher still covered in bruises from being shot by feds in Broadview. “Nothing ever happened without people doing what we’re doing now. It’s scary and this moment takes bravery. … [But] this is not the America I want my daughter to grow up in.”

Witness video shared to Facebook shows feds swiftly grabbing someone off the street at Lawrence and Kedzie this morning and putting them in an unmarked car. Locals know this is a busy intersection, the beating heart of Albany Park:

Two more alerts issued by NWSRR, more reported arrests. Volunteers are advising vulnerable people in Belmont Cragin, Hermosa, Albany Park, far northwest side to stay home today if possible.

Neighbors have also spotted immigration agents at an apartment building in Bensenville (Elm Courts per Facebook post) this morning:

This comes after CBP/ICE, assisted by large number of FBI and other feds, orchestrated a large raid on an apartment building late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. Immigrant rights orgs estimate at least *forty people*, including children and infants, were taken from their beds in South Shore:

Border Patrol is up, per video shared to social media. According to NWRR, they grabbed a person at Home Depot in Belmont Cragin, continuing their pattern of stalking out HD lots early mornings (instagram.com/p/DPRGaMngEkq).

Dems keep refusing to name the root problem. This is not about Trump's health status. This is about whiteness - the deeply American system of violence & cruelty that gave Trump (& Pritzker) their fame, fortune & following. #AbolishICE #DefundPolice #DismantleWhiteness

🚨Breaking: I led a letter with Senators Durbin, Blumenthal, Duckworth, and Rep Ramirez demanding an independent investigation into the killing of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez by an ICE officer. Our communities deserve transparency and accountability for the deadly actions of DHS personnel.

40 people from 7500 South Shore is an insane amount of people. This is one apartment building, in a neighborhood that is 93% Black, with ICE attacking people sent here by the Texas governor 2 years ago.

Elected Dems at every level don't want to actually DO anything to help protect those targeted by the fascist deportation forces bc it might call into question the legitimacy of ALL law enforcement (as it should) & that's the last thing they want to do 💩 #AbolishICE #AbolishPolice #DismantleWhiteness

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community. thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

And you can read the full write-up on what we know about the raid here, for @thetriibe.com thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

Needed to delete this post re: last night's South Shore immigration raid because it turned out the sourcing on the claim that everyone in the building was initially detained was less solid than I first thought. However, it's still estimated that federal agents took 40 people or more in the raid.

#FreePalestine #AbolishZionism #DismantleWhiteness

We’re at the start of a military occupation in Chicago, where masked me in fatigues armed to the teeth detain American citizens and don’t even book them.

Castro also says she believes children were taken. A nearby resident who witnessed the raid, but wished not to be named, corroborated he saw children brought out. "They were bringing babies out naked... that's kidnapping," the neighbor said.

Veronica Castro of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights says the raid was part of an effort by the Trump admin and right-wing figures to "manufacture a crisis" in Chicago.

we have delivered 2 carloads of shelf-stable food and supplies to those who have requested support, requests are still incoming while people stay home during the ICE raids in Chicagoland, we appreciate community support as we work for safety, please share! bit.ly/distributefoodchicago

What's happening with ICE in Chicagoland today: Federal agents continue terrorizing Back of the Yards, Broadview mayor and police chief held a presser, and neighbors in South Shore late night were startled awake by a raid on an apartment with stun grenades.

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Never underestimate the violence & cruelty of whiteness/capitalism.

May this idea spread like wildfire: as the faculty of the Columbia journalism school (unfortunately for me, not of the Medill j school) said, if even ONE person’s speech is punished, it can chill almost EVERYONE. Every firing & deportation makes a freely speaking community impossible!
