Noooooooo 😢

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.

Sadistic, marauding fascist monsters having a tourist moment. “The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, ‘Everyone say, “Little Village!”’”

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.

❗️ RALLY TONIGHT. A child care teacher was abducted by ICE this morning in Chicago's Roscoe Village/North Center. 📢 Alderman Matt Martin & @onenorthside.bsky.social announce an emergency rally TONIGHT Wed Nov 5, 6:30 pm at Northcenter Town Square, 4100 N. Damen.

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."

Northside Chicago peeps, the ICE/CBP convoy has been spotted around the Lincoln Park Costco. Please patrol your neighborhood and alert laborers at worksites, and landscapers who are removing leaves. The ones I've talked to were not aware of the situation

Federal agents once again in Albany Park this morning.

David Byrne show at the Auditorium Theater Friday night was incredible. Although not everyone got our costumes

This is near my niece and nephew's school in Evanston, Ill just hours ago as they are now on lockdown. This is what's happening. It's an occupation by ICE in a Chicago suburb. They must be abolished.

Video from this morning on Lawrence near Kedzie @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Albany Park has been under attack all day. Constant helicopter surveillance too

🧊 🚨 someone was just detained at Ridgeway and Argyle in Albany Park

a plainclothes federal agent walked into a brighton park barber shop pretending to be a customer this morning. the agent came back half an hour later with two other feds and abducted someone, then threatened to arrest anyone else who stepped in.

I just organized some resources for whistles if anyone wants to DIY an event or join forces with my whistle event team. We could use support with 3D printing whistles! I’ve got files, donation links, and a sign-up sheet. Also a link to the zines if you need it! linktr.ee/apwhistles

If you’re in Logan Square go support local vendors tomorrow.

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

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.

“Chicago is the future.“ @joseolivarez.bsky.social for @chicagomag.com

Next Sunday I’m helping out Brutalist Brewing Co-op lead a brutalist architecture themed bike ride through the city:

militarized federal agents tear-gassed chicago’s irving park neighborhood *twice* this morning before 10:30 a.m. agents are active and have been abducting people, including reportedly a u.s. citizen. the dhs helicopter that was earlier circling waukegan has made its way to the west side.

It's not even 11am yet, and federal agents have gassed the northwest side of Chicago twice this morning. Just before 10, NWSRR reports they detained two people in Irving Park, one of them known to be a US citizen: www.instagram.com/p/DQPKhmDEd4W/

I invite you to help me feed people in Chicago. bit.ly/distributefoodchicago we're good on the diapers for now but the food is needed

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighbors! If you’re mad as hell about ICE rolling through your neighborhood and abducting people, come to Beermiscuous on Wednesday at 6 and assemble some whistle kits about it! www.instagram.com/p/DQMrtxBEcX...

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

NEW — Videos obtained by The TRiiBE show federal agents detaining a Laugh Factory worker on Chicago’s North Side this morning. He and another person were detained around 9:20 a.m., according to rapid response teams. Story TK shortly on thetriibe.com.

This brilliant little article gets at what I’ve seen but haven’t yet read: Chicago locals, regardless of status, are apprehensive about venturing out to restaurants and food stalls targeted by ICE. The result is a whole sector in economic and social crisis. www.chicagomag.com/news/we-wont...

The Northwest Side Rapid Response group sent an alert about ICE all around Humboldt Park and Ukrainian Village. Person or persons taken at Erie West Town Health Center.

Enlace, another community org in Little Village, also advises residents to stay indoors.

Border Patrol has reportedly detained several people in Little Village this morning. Video from Facebook shows Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino and his agents walking the streets as warning whistles blow in the background.

Graphics from one north side rapid response group; they’ve asked to share far & wide.

I’m now helping with 3 whistle events: Nighthawk Fridays at 5:30, Beermiscuous on Wednesday 10/29 at 6, and TBA that a neighbor is organizing. Please send me whistles! Message emidly.08 on signal and I’ll give you a shipping address.

A thread for anyone who participated in the marches, but hasn't been particularly involved in much group activity until now

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.

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

Alderwoman Julia Ramirez of the 12th Ward which spans part of the southwest side posted a video statement on social media. She says that her office can confirm there have been 30 detainments/kidnappings throughout the ward. She says that 15 people were taken at Swap-O-Rama in Back of the Yards.

UPDATE — Mayor Brandon Johnson lays out his FY 2026 budget recommendations to protect Chicago’s most vulnerable residents from Trump. “When they come for any of us, they come for all of us,” Johnsons said to applause. thetriibe.com/2025/10/mayo...

So many fewer cars than normal parked on Lawrence between Pulaski and Kimball, bus driver pretty much had a bus-only lane - didn’t want it like this 😞

Marquette Park this morning, ~45 min ago at 70th and Washtenaw per anon FB post. Through a screen, someone films Border Patrol agents taking a man into a red minivan and driving away. Another angle of this shared to social media shows it happened in front of a daycare.

Spotify responded that the ads do not violate its policies.

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.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement. At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week
