So among other things happening at that facility, the agents are also getting shit faced on the taxpayers dime.

Loevy: "Is [tear gas] dangerous?" Hewson: "No."

Lawyers play a video that was played for Bovino. In it, he tells agents "everybody fucking gets it if they touch you." "This is OUR fucking city," Bovino tells them.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Attendance drops at Chicago schools in communities with increased immigration enforcement

Situation in Sudan not making headlines, beyond grim

I wasn’t aware of this strategy until earlier this week hearing from Little Village organizers that residents abducted by ICE have been ending up far from home, dropped at random gas stations and other suburbs. Unhinged in all the ways. Civil rights, due process out the window.

Defend NYC, a pro-Cuomo super PAC operated by Trump adviser Jason Meister, is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on sending out this text message to NYC voters, hoping it'll convince them to vote Cuomo for mayor, new filings show.

"The notices state that “Payment in full is due now” & list an array of potential consequences for failure to pay, including collection litigation & negative impacts on their immigration cases. Fines that aren’t paid in full will accrue interest." Children in detention can't work. And are CHILDREN.

WHAT THE HELL NO NO NO www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

ICE terror is sort of like school shootings. It can and will happen anywhere and at any time and our kids, wherever they live or whatever they look like, will see it. The former is enabled by government inaction. The latter is a direct result of government action.

“They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols. The full story: lataco.com/federal-immi... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

In case you would like an example of how ICE's propaganda works: Today, for the second time this week, an ICE agent shot at an unarmed community member.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

ICE has not yet fired him. Gotta make sure he has due process and all. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

When you don’t hold people accountable for this shit you’re letting them know they haven’t found the line yet. There wasn’t accountability for illegally forcing Haitians back over the border either, and the Biden admin actually DEFENDED the child separation policy in court. So where’s the line?

“This is a mass incarceration bill,” said NIJC’s Jesse Franzblau to @theguardian.com about HR3486, which aims to impose 10 yr mandatory jail term minimums on migrants- giving huge profits to private prisons: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/03/republicans-bill-prison-sentence-immigration

Nearly 2 million Illinoisans are set to lose SNAP benefits they rely on starting Nov. 1. Here is a list of some pantries serving residents, regardless of immigration status, across the Chicago area.

Sudan's army has lost its last foothold of el-Fasher, in Darfur, to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Now warnings are mounting of a second genocide as mass killings unfold before the world.

got to Target minutes after ICE kidnapped someone. Spoke to people otg who said they were probably staging at Rosehill. Drove over to Rosehill, another patroller I saw was talking to an employee. Patroller said ICE was using A CEMETERY AS A HOME BASE for kidnapping people in our neighborhood.

From a different witness's statement in our case:

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

57 now dead in 13 attacks. Fact sheet now updated at www.wola.org/analysis/fac...

A police raid and clashes with a drug gang embedded in low-income neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro left at least 119 people dead, officials said Wednesday, a day after the massive operation drew criticism for using excessive force. https://to.pbs.org/47hwIpu

Absolutely horrific scene following this massacre, where police killed over 100 people.

Gentle reminder that it’s very very very easy to catch federal charges for protesting federal law enforcement. This is how the law is structured. And most of us don’t have huge platforms to leverage when we’re targeted by state violence in this way.

Literally Bovino just a few days ago:

Awful news: employers are about to have to reluctantly fire 10s of thousands of workers going into the holidays for no good reason. Trump 2.0's record for intentionally doing as much harm as possible to our economy as quickly as possible remains undefeated www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...

9YO citizen caught in Idaho FBI raid describes officers breaking car window to detain his father “I felt scared because they were pointing the guns at me. When they broke the window, I had to jump to my mom’s feet. I had glass in my mouth, and I quickly spit it away." www.ktvb.com/article/news...

Immigration courts are generally open to the public, and advance notice is only *suggested* by DOJ. They can't outright require it. I know this because I got blocked from going to the Krome Immigration Court earlier this year and emailed EOIR. They wouldn't respond to my direct question about it.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

these guys just love doing this. nothing like 8 storm troopers beating the absolute shit out of a defenseless old person www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

Federal immigration agents have recently been leaning into hitting people recording them with impeding charges - even when available video shows the agents striking civilians' vehicles, not the other way around Another example from last week: bsky.app/profile/thet...

When even the staunch racists of the 1920s think you’re too extreme…

We just filed our PI brief in this one detailing how these stops are illegal, in part, because DHS won’t accept that REAL IDs are real. ICE rejected one woman’s ID and put her in shackles because “the Biden Administration made a lot of mistakes.” ij.org/press-releas...

BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders immediate "powerful" strikes in Gaza.

Ellis brings up this encounter: When “one federal officer, who was not wearing a body camera or any obvious visible identification shot … Enrique Bahena in the neck from five feet away with a pepper ball,” according to the court filing.

Still not liveposting this hearing b/c it's dense, largely administrative issues, but this was worth highlighting: District Judge Jeff Cummings just asked a govt atty if he can certify relevant immigration detainees are being held in "safe and sanitary" conditions. "I cannot," a govt atty replied.

🚨Another big immigration enforcement operation coming to Florida: DHS is asking deportation officers from other states to head to Miami to "assist ERO Miami" with a 287g operation this weekend. Please be cautious.

Hearing reports of tear gas in Wrigleyville from multiple sources. For non-Chicagoans, Wrigleyville is an affluent, mostly-white neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field. Chicago's brown and Black communities are still taking the brunt of migra violence, but no neighborhood is immune any longer.

Feds play more games over where to dump Kilmar Abrego Garcia on the global map. Now: Liberia. Reminder: Abrego's lawyers agreed that he'd go to Costa Rica, but feds' insisted on sending him to Uganda, Eswatini & Ghana. A judge's patience is running thin. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-gha...

Included is this screenshot of CBP commander Greg Bovino allegedly “throwing tear gas into a crowd without justification.”

“Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order earlier this month prohibiting federal immigration agents from using city property to stage for raids. But residents in Little Village spotted agents staging in city Water Department parking lot at 3148 S. Sacramento Avenue around 3 p.m. Sunday”

NEW: U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is allowing the deposition of Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino to expand to FIVE hours (she'd limited it to 2), and she wants to hear about use of force by CBP in Little Village on Wednesday and Thursday. Plus a reminder to "preserve all body-worn camera footage."

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

border patrol have returned to terrorize chicago's little village neighborhood again this morning. from a video posted to facebook about 10 minutes ago near 26th and pulaski. at one point, the person recording says, "he's got his fucking rifle out!"
