Full story: Federal immigration agents deploy tear gas on Northwest Side streets as Chicagoans bellow, ‘Get out of our city! www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

"These are modern day slave catchers. Call them for what they are. Stop giving them a pass. Make people understand the depth of what's going on in our community, because everybody has to protect everybody."

ICE points gun at pregnant mother—a U.S. citizen with her son in the back seat. "Are you gonna shoot a pregnant woman?" she cries. "You just put a gun on me!" "Then he had the balls to say, 'It’s your fault I did that.'" Video clearly shows her just driving down public street in Berwyn, Illinois.

Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives. ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal." As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.

Not insane health insurance premiums. Not farmers going bankrupt. Not a Federal Shutdown. Trumps priority is destroying a national landmark

Video shot by a resident outside the Little Village mall shows what appears to be another tear gassing by immigration agents in Chicago’s streets.

Pilsen PUñO released a statement today advising Little Village residents to shelter in place because of massive ICE activity today.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

tear gas as residents scream "go home!" and blow whisltes at 10-15 militarized border patrol agents wearing gas masks. greg bovino is there. people are calling him "bombino" and asking him about his fall. alder byron sigcho-lopez is also at the front of the crowd, per a facebook live feed.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

They are tearing down the people’s house to build a ballroom no one wants. But your insurance will triple & your children will go hungry

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Does Illinois sanctuary laws mean nothing?

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom. Full Story: wapo.st/42RiU2q

That's the bar that's set?

Chicago No Kings

“The demonstrations were very small.”

Me thinks the No Kings protests hit a nerve

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

As a proud @usc.edu alumni (class of '94) I am proud of my university and fully support this decision.

Police just detained two protesters. One dressed as the Statue of the Liberty.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov This has to stop. You either support protesters standing up to the bully or you ARE the bully. There is no middle ground here.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, Stop Illinois State Police from assisting ICE and federal agents in Illinois!

Many of the clips in the video showing the supposed “chaos” in Chicago were recorded in other states: Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska — all places that voted for Trump in the 2024 election. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/16/t... via @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Colin Boyle is a photo journalist for @blockclubchi.bsky.social I believe his first hand account of what's happening at Broadview. @govpritzker.illinois.gov Why is IL utilizing IL State Troopers against people protesting ICE taking our neighbors? Didn't YOU tell us to resist & use our voices?

A main organizer of VC Defensa in Ventura County was rammed in his vehicle by federal agents and taken into custody this morning. This video is from VC Defensa IG and shows the ramming. Organizers are thinking he’ll be taken to LA MDC—headed there now

Insane? God yes. But I’m taking this to mean that they are scared. They are very scared because together we are strong

masked federal agents used multiple canisters of tear gas + other chemical munitions on a crowd of residents in chicago's southeast side around 12:40 p.m. neighbors had gathered on a residential intersection following a morning during which dozens of border patrol agents terrorized the community.

Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

State troopers carrying one of the protesters they just tackled.

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.

This happened 10/10 in Chicago. A US citizen, not that it should matter, was hit by ICE. So they threatened witnesses with automatic weapons & violently dragged her from her car. We can not allow this to continue @quigley.house.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

I didn’t think resisting tyranny would involve ordering an inflatable chicken outfit, but I guess I really should have known.

How do we hold these thugs responsible for breaking judicial orders? @wgntv.com Are you just going to let them treat your employees like this?

Loevy claims the defense's own arguments are giving the game away, given the talk over wanting to discourage targeting ICE agents. "They are targeting people basically to tell them to 'shut up," he says.

Trigger happy Nazi thugs

@govpritzker.illinois.gov State police assisting ICE & arresting protesters. You can’t tell us to stand up to the bullies then help the bully knock us back

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Why are state troopers bring used to protect ICE? YOU told us (multiple times) to record and protest.

moments ago: pandemonium. a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random. leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders. multiple people detained. no clue how many.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what happened to protest and record? Why are state troopers trying to control your constituents instead of protect them from trigger happy ICE thugs?

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Hegseth: The military is for killing people and breaking things. No more rules of engagement. Trump: I’ll be sending the military into U.S. cities.

In the last two weeks these feds have choked & beaten protesters, broken bones, given people concussions from munitions, pointed their sidearms at people, tear gassed a neighborhood, shot reporters in the face, destroyed neighbors' property, threatened elected officials No National Guard necessary

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Actually this particular sign is one you probably should obey in advance.

Today's speech is exactly what one expects from someone who flounced from the Individual Ready Reserve due to his white supremacist tattoos

dozens of federal agents with border patrol and the fbi raided an apartment building in south shore shortly after 1 am as part of a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.” neighbors report hearing flash-bangs and screaming, and one person told abc 7 they saw two people detained.

Physically abusing a woman half his size. He could have just pushed her (which is still wrong) but instead made the decision to throw her to the ground. This was not a heat of the moment thing. These are the choices they make. Remember his when they try to tell us later "I was just following orders"

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker said the Illinois National Guard has received word that the Department of Homeland Security is seeking the deployment of 100 military troops to Illinois.
