at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd. he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him. situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

A fall morning in Chicago now: biking down Lawrence through Albany Park, which looks like a relative ghost town compared to its usual foot traffic, watching as street vendors scramble to pack up and flee because ICE just grabbed someone. Folks screaming and whistling at every intersection.

Still trying to get a sense of the devastation caused by ICE and Border Patrol across Lake County yesterday. People were overwhelmed and they don't have the kind of rapid response connectivity the city does. Feds raided a car wash in Wauconda.

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.
