Video shared to social media ~1:20 pm shows a different angle of community members and protestors facing federal immigration agents in Elgin, IL today. In the video, someone(s?) in the crowd throws snowballs at the agents as they appear to be dogpiling someone. Seconds later, gas comes out.

Happening right now. Community members in Elgin, IL are in a standoff with Feds who are trying to abduct their neighbor. ERO guy in picture on left just peppered sprayed person I screencapped.

Reminder. Free. Palestine.

ICIRR is sounding the alarm of continued ICE activity throughout Chicagoland, including three confirmed abductions in the Cicero-Berwyn area. Videos online showed federal agents at the Cicero Home Depot as well.

Well this fucking says it all, don't it

Look at how they did the plates

ICE/HSI is out of control in Tucson this morning. Raids down Grande near Barrio Hollywood. Dozens of community members showed out to support. Masked agents with blacked out plates deployed smokes and shoved and pepper-sprayed Rep. Adelita Grijalva and her staff after they ID’d themselves.

The Rapid Response team for Berwyn & Cicero (west Chicago collar suburbs) continues to update; indicating that immigration agents continue to be present in the after 1 pm. The alert says "ICE seen driving through north Berwyn," though the jacket on the pictured agent reads Border Patrol.

One video shared to social media around 10:45 a.m. depicts immigration agents chasing a person in the parking lot of the Home Depot located on Cicero Ave. Other video & photos shared from 10:50 - 11:35 a.m. corroborate agents detaining at least 2 people near S. 58th Ct. and 27th St. in Cicero.

Despite all the other horrific things happening under Trump's purview, let's not forget he's also overseeing the continued genocide of Palestinians.

Confirmed sightings of CBP activity in Cicero and Berwyn Illinois this morning. Bitch ass hoes still out here terrorizing our communities.

There's anti-Semitism inside Fuentes-inspired discord chats that even Hitler couldn't begin to comprehend.

The liberal impulse to try to excise ICE as different from other LE is ridiculous. They're only following the example of historical brutality of USian LE at large and the horrific conditions of their prisons and jails. They might currently have the spotlight but they're not any worse.

hopefully soon people will stop asking when ICE will be arrested.

Days since Greg Bovino was last shown to be a liar: 0

Thread by @jmetr22b.bsky.social with a pretty bleak courtroom story: a man accused of putting a hit on Greg Bovino withdrew his pretrial release motion today, after the possibility was raised that were he released, ICE might grab him. A court entry today confirms the release motion's withdrawl.

I've been thinking about how CBP are the shock troops of the DHS sent out to soften up target areas for ICE. Seeing this same pattern in Chicago too.

i’ve seen videos of both ice and hsi active in chicago and the suburbs over the past week

“U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood on Monday called conditions inside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview “terrible” and warned that staffing is expected to triple by January at ICE facilities in the Chicago area in anticipation of more immigration enforcement.”

Funny how I got banned from FB many years ago for threatening violence against Nazis. Not against anyone specific, just against Nazis in general and that was enough.

As Emilio Zapata once said, "If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

This has to be some kind of record streak of L’s for the DOJ.

Southwest Rapid Response posted a video story of Josue, a Chicago HS senior from Gage Park, whose mom was taken in sept while she sold tamales. She is currently in ICE detention in Michigan. This is a GoFundMe to support him and his mom.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on? Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

ICE sneaked into Chicago today, fortunately Rapid Response teams and other concerned community members were able to spring into action before more people were taken.

Kidnappings have slowed with CBP’s ramp-down, but rapid response, patrols, whistles, etc. all formed even before Border Patrol arrived. Expect we’re going to see a return to quick abductions of people they’ve targeted and probably some opportunistically, when people are out during mild weather.

Another video from Charlotte, NC. Property owners scare off federal agents after they question a man putting up Christmas lights.

We owe so much to the work of disability advocates like Alice Wong. Rest in peace, sweet angel.

Alice reminded us that these bonds are world-making. They are the underground architecture that lets us survive a political order that treats disabled life as disposable. She insisted on holding disabled brilliance close, refusing the erasure capitalism demands.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

I should add that there will definitely be a strong push to abolish ICE (and defund ICE will be coming from moderate voices) over the next few elections. And I predict that the Dem establishment will rather risk losing than to take that up on their national platform.

Nothing at all in the entirety of US history suggests a populace or politicians who will take power away from cops. There are NO examples of this.

Besides local progressive Democrats who have taken a clear stance against ICE, establishment Democrats LOVE ICE and CBP and don't mind their more violent and chaotic tactics. They also like that they're not the ones catching all the flak for it.

As someone of Mexican heritage and a student of history, I believe it's a terrible idea to place back into power the very same political parties that allowed cartels to deeply entrench themselves over the several decades they held political power in Mexico.

If and when they get thrown out of power it won't because of the Dems. It will be because the good people of this land have had enough of the bullshit, my hope lies with them and I will beam a smile of a thousand suns when victory and freedom arrives.

When kidnappings in broad daylight and concentration camps exist, it is just to break any law necessary to free them!

This picture breaks my heart into a million pieces, that's someone's dad, someone's grandpa, someone's dear friend.

Nothing against the largely religious and pacifist protestors that have shown up consistently outside the Broadview concentration camp but the time calls for a more militant approach towards aggression from local LE especially if the 600 or so people scheduled to be released aren't freed.

Of course Cook County Sheriffs and Illinois State Patrol found it easy to rough up a pacifist crowd.

I saw one cop lose their balance and fall. I saw another cop limping slightly as he walked out of a scrum they created. I saw another cop out of breath. And I saw protesters who were much more roughed up than any of the above.

Oh my god “cOpS iNjUrEd.” Like ICE, if these guys get a hangnail while bashing you with a baton, they were the victim and seriously injured.

I should start the process of de-googlefying. Over a decade ago I completely cut off Microsoft from my life, two years ago I did the same thing with Amazon. In contrast, Google has managed to worm its way into more aspects of my daily life and I'm dreading the arduous process, but it'll be worth it.

Heavy winter storms flooded Gaza’s tent camps on Friday, collapsing shelters and soaking families already displaced by Israel’s war. Streets in Gaza City turned into rivers of mud and rubble as rain poured into... The full report by @AbdSabbah91 (X) in Gaza and @sharifkouddous (X) is linked below.

I might have my reservations about religion, but "God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom," kinda goes hard ngl.

CBP might be temporarily off the streets of Chicago but they've been flying their helicopter throughout the south side of Chicago all evening, reports of accompanying drones within the area as well.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today: ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...

How long do you think Democrats were sitting on those Epstein emails waiting for an opportunity to release them when they needed a distraction?
