State police led Broadview protesters into the street, then attacked them, demonstrators said. blockclubchi.co/4qfbgsJ

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

After 8 a.m., Illinois State and Broadview Police let protesters into Beach Street according to witnesses. Then a slew of baton-wielding ISP officers entered the street, forced protesters off the street & arrested multiple people. Now folks r on sidewalks #OnAssignment for @blockclubchi.bsky.social

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

Haha no sympathy for nazis

Ellis also says she's modifying the restraining order: "All agents who are operating in operation midway blitz are to wear body worn cameras and they are to be on."

Ellis wants the brass in court. "On Monday, I want the field director here. And the field director is going to explain to me why I am seeing images of tear gas being deployed and... seeing images of ICE agents, if I cannot see the alphanumeric identifier... why is that so?" She says.

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

wip

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Fed helicopter circling my neighborhood You already know what I think every ice agent deserves prey-species.itch.io/fuck-ice

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism. Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

video shared to facebook around 11 am shows at least four border patrol agents chasing people into the walgreens at 106th/ewing—about 4 blocks away from where feds later unleashed tear gas. an agent is seen tackling someone to the ground. someone else screams that they’re an american citizen.

UPDATE — Multiple witness videos today show an older white federal agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside of a Walgreens on Chicago’s Southeast Side. This is a developing story. thetriibe.com/2025/10/fede...

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

if the real life metaphors get any more on the nose they will push it through my skull and into my brain, killing me

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Hagerstown nail salon owner freed after five months in ICE custody

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

Same group? Is that a pistol being pointed at the guy in blue?

It’s not illegal to film agents in the public way, no matter what they say

Video shows feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park this afternoon as they reportedly detain one person.

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

"I'm protesting the kidnapping of people,” said one person at the Broadview detention center protest. “I'm here to support humanity. I'm here to support the undocumented. I think ICE is a terrorist group. The police supporting ICE are terrorists.”

"...people know what moment we’re in in history. They want to be on the right side of it."

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

I passed by Funston Elementary in Logan Square, across the street from where people were tear gassed last week. And every corner around the school has an adult keeping watch for dismissal time. 🥹 Times feel bleak but also always reminders all the things people do to help.

(unsecured roof tent flying by my head) tactical gear is my passion

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Sell your adventure in the worst possible way w/o lying: CHECK OUT MY PREGGERS MILF DUNGEON, EVERYPONY! THERE'S PUSSY ON THE FRONT COVER, BUT IT'S REAL CLASSY THO!!! www.melsonia.com/products/the...

ICE reportedly kidnapped someone this morning a block from my kids’ old school, in Rogers Park in Chicago. There are usually people there selling tamales, tacos, drinks, fruit etc You know, doing things that make a place a community They hate the places & communities & people we love

an entire government made specifically to let old men stare at baby genitalia

Funston Elementary School’s sense of safety was violated last Friday when a federal agent threw a tear gas canister from their vehicle across the street and the gas wafted over the school property, a teacher told reporters Thursday.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a TRO in the Northern District of Illinois (including Chicago and the Broadview ICE facility), providing protections for protesters and journalists covering the protests. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Some of the key elements:

So this is a pretty wild part of the TRO: mandating agents wear visible identification. Taking bets on how long before they violate it, lol

from the inbox: masked federal agents yesterday evening dragged a person out of their car and tackled them in the street outside uic. a handful of other agents looked on, at least one carrying an apparent rifle. at the end of the clip, the person can be heard screaming, “help! help me! help!”

ICE is in Back of the Yards again* this morning. 1 person detained: instagram.com/p/DPlsHGoDvek *Rarely a day has gone by since this surge began that they haven't grabbed people in this area. That footage you saw of Chicagoans being tear gassed on Saturday was in an adjacent neighborhood.

As the Supreme Court term begins, keep this framework in mind: Autocratic Legalism. Instead of “rule of law” (law constrains the power), we get “rule by law” (law as a weapon for power). Authoritarians usually have to install allies. Trump started his second term with that step already complete.

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

(shared with permission) ICE/CBP has been active on Chicago's northwest side this morning—and also met with rapid responders. Agents reportedly abducted one man from this Dunkin at Belmont and Milwaukee around 9:30am before speeding off.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us
