ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

American cities are now “Fallujah”. Are we feeling great again yet?

NEW: The significant increase in the number of times Chicago police officers have used force against Black & Latino Chicagoans since 2021 violates the consent decree, a coalition of reform groups told the federal judge overseeing efforts to reform CPD. @wttw.bsky.social

This explains a lot. Can’t think of a better reason to enforce the separation of church & state than folks losing their minds over rapture. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

First GOP governors were transporting migrants to the northern blue cities in the middle of the winter, now they are flying them to African prisons. All for political gain. Human life and dignity means less than nothing to the GOP.

I missed this earlier, but looks like this is set to start soon.

Any Democrat who is not on board with this bare minimum, face saving bill amidst the genocide, deserves to be primaried out of office. Quigley said to wait for his ‘pragmatic plan’. Will there be any people left by the time his ‘plan’ works? Quigley & his fellow aipac democrats don’t seem to care.

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

Drago better be ready to accept their unconditional surrender.😂😂😂

The use of unnecessary “political violence” has been approved. You can’t play the victim when you’re the villain with a badge, Laura. A masked man in uniform throwing a woman to the ground is not a good look for anyone who has a shred of decency left in them.

And the hits by the local CBS station keep coming. You know what the Mayor said, but by all means “spark outrage” because things are boring around here, definitely great time to stir the pot.

Local CBS news are doing their best to blame the protesters for the violence unleashed on them today & deflecting by ‘just asking’ if the protesters who were detained were “regular US citizens”. So embarrassing.

In America being shot by a “random lunatic with a gun” is much less suspicious than “falling out of the window”. A man who ran a conservative propaganda network funded by dark money “fell out a window” followed by a coordinated state crackdown on what’s left of individual liberty. That’s what’s up.

JUST NOW — Our reporters are at the Broadview ICE facility (outside of Chicago) where protestors have been demonstrating since 5:00 a.m. As a cargo van left the facility, a federal agent on the roof started shooting what seems to be pepper balls at protestors just before 9:00 a.m. 🎥: The TRiiBE

Our local TV is trash.

Per our earlier comment. Imagine planning, saving or borrowing to fix your roof & have ICE snatch your roofers. Hell has no fury like homeowners scorned.

🚨Action Alert🚨 The City and developers are trying to ram through a stadium deal for 'The 78' WITHOUT the promised transit improvements! This is unacceptable, and we need you to take action with us. Join us tomorrow morning at City Hall for the 10am Plan Commission meeting to raise your voice!

ICE keeps snatching hardworking folks who are building/fixing people’s houses. Since we only care about private property rights in this country & none more sacred than homeownership, it’s time for a class action on behalf of the homeowners who have been impacted. It’s so dumb, it might just work.

It's been another morning of terror in Chicagoland. ICE is snatching people across burbs + city. More cars abandoned on the side of the road, & more day laborers disappeared. A van rolls into the Broadview "processing facility." After gates close, agents move 3 men in shackles into the building.

They did NOT “back down” from Chicago. The people of Chicago, just like the people of Los Angeles and Washington DC, are going through hell right now. Please, I beg you, “Tell no lies. Claim no easy victories.” cc: @unraveledpress.com

customs and border patrol looks to be gearing up for an active day in elgin—with armored trucks, pickups, suvs, and a helicopter flying overhead. before dawn, agents reportedly raided a house on a residential street near elgin fresh market.

No one and nothing crosses our borders unless someone is profiting on the inside. The entire immigration crackdown is about exploiting people as underpaid, abused workers until it’s more profitable to exploit them as political props with zero consideration for their humanity and their suffering.

Gov. Pritzker calls out ICE’s lack of transparency following their killing of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez on Friday.

📢 If you or someone you know — friends, family members, neighbors — have been or could be affected by ICE raids in Chicago, we want to hear from you. You can reach our reporter @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social on Signal or WhatsApp at 872-444-0011.

Very hostile, very unfair, terrible people. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

While this is happening, reports of ICE sightings around outskirts of the city + near burbs are rolling in. We aren't seeing many of their snatch vehicles here yet, and folks report detainees were moved out very early morning. Suspect agents modified their activity today in response to the demo.

Ald. Lopez isn’t getting enough attention, so he threw a tantrum. If Lopez & Hopkins can’t handle an open forum, maybe they should quit public office & apply for a less stressful jobs at… anywhere else.

“The use of unnecessary violence has been approved.”

The sentiment in Chicago is not far behind NYC, except our local conversations are strangled by the lazy thinking at the intersection of civic, public & media ecosystems that have employed everyone’s dumbest cousins for far too long.

Moon over Chicago tonight.

The real issues & stories we should be talking about & working together to fix affordability & food insecurity instead of chasing the goddamn secret police kidnapping humans in broad daylight. Imagine how many people could be educated, healed, fed & housed for the cost of terrorizing people.

🧊❌️ Today, 5:00 pm, downtown Chicago!

Mary Ann Ahern doesn’t get enough attention as a pro-cop MAGA mouthpiece on NBC 5 Chicago. She chose to crank it up a notch by asking a dumb fat shaming question to the governor. Hey, Mary Ann, how about update your work profile picture to something from this Millennium?

We are not doing our democracy any favors by letting people sit in their elected offices way past their expiration date. There’s no point appealing to republicans, we have to clean house first.

The *scariest* thing about the big cities is that most people can’t afford to live there. It’s the systemic inequality that is used to divide people… and the guns, let’s not talk about guns, God forbid.

The salt truck story was not true and we got carried away. 🫤🧊🧂

Here’s a look at some of the anti-Trump and anti-ICE protests taking place in the Chicagoland area today. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

Word on the street is that Mayor Johnson has sent the salt trucks to block the streets from ICE.

WHEN THEY COME, WE DON’T FREEZE, WE ORGANIZE, WE TAKE THE STREETS! See you in the streets! This is an illegal military occupation of our city and communities, and we have an inalienable democratic right to resist it! 📅 TODAY, Sept 6 ⏰ 5 PM 📍 Ida B Wells & Michigan

We are here for it! 🫶🏼🇲🇽🇺🇸
