It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall. It's probably not your fault—too much news. But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

NEW: Starting today, ICE can continue using Medicaid data in deportation cases. Last year, 404 Media and @freedom.press sued DHS for refusing to share a copy of the agreement, which gives the personal data of nearly 80 million Medicaid patients to ICE. Now, the agreement has been released:

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

The Southeast Side and Elgin Area Rapid Response teams have also reported immigration agent presence this morning in Hammond, Indiana and West Chicago, Illinois respectively.

Greg Bovino may have moved on to Charlotte, but federal immigration agents maintain a presence in the Chicago area. Northwest Side Rapid Response has confirmed agents detained at least one person around 9:45 this morning off Kedzie and Wabansia.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Lots of questions about living conditions in South Shore following the federal agents militarized raid earlier this week. This piece provides some historical context and framing around how Venezuelans landed in the predominantly-Black Chicago neighborhood. thetriibe.com/2025/04/some...

Sorry if thread is broken, it's still chaotic out here. A lot more gas, it's awful, can't see that well. ICE just tackled and arrested two protesters.

ICE has come into the lot, firing rounds we can't identify. Just before this, another canister of tear gas.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning. Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off. A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

Earlier this morning around 10:15, ICE agents were spotted near Howard and Greenview in Rogers Park. It doesn't appear they arrested anyone, and they quickly left the area.

The Board of Immigration Appeals has ordered Emmy-award winning journalist Mario Guevara to be deported to El Salvador after 100 days in ICE detention, a country he fled more than two decades ago after being persecuted for his reporting.

This update is a punch to the gut

We heard you like irresponsible journalism so we did some journalism from our national platform as irresponsibly as humanly possible about a community going through a major crisis, pls subscribe

"[T]he whole point of solidarity[] is that you are stronger together ... [Y]ou do not leave anyone behind."

"Make America Healthy Again," says the administration giving coal and chemical facilities a pass on mercury regulations.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Please send us a text if you believe you have further evidence of this specific agent assaulting folks (not just yesterday, but any time over last few weeks) 📱

ICE is violating article the U.N.'s "Mandela" rules for the minimum treatment of prisoners: "Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs...detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior."

Brazil now joins Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Turkiye and others who have signed on to the case.

"The road... is filled with people fleeing unpredictable falling bombs, the continuous attacks on their homes, public facilities and shelters." Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud describes the grim situation as Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City and forcibly displaces Palestinians.

Further update: Per a spokesperson with the People's Law Office, 10 people total were arrested during yesterday's protests at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and all 10 have since been released. They clarify this includes both daytime and evening protest arrests.

Broadview, IL - One protester outside the facility near the gate was just hit with chemical irritant pretty dead on. Protest medics took care of him, Broadview police just arrived and are transporting him to a local hospital. Said they’re going to take a battery report.

"Khalil, who was detained by immigration authorities for three months earlier this year over his advocacy for Palestinian rights, was ordered deported to Algeria or Syria on Wednesday afternoon."

at least twice now, this federal agent has come out of the broadview ice facility with his sidearm drawn. last friday, an ice agent shot and killed a man during a traffic stop nearby in franklin park, illinois.

That was the most aggro I've ever seen the agents. While pushing to get vehicles out, agents grabbed at least 2 people. Multiple tear gas cannisters deployed and pepper balls fired into the crowd.

Southwest side rapid response has confirmed at least 5 people detained at a Home Depot 47th and Western in Chicago between 2 and 3 p.m. At least two federal agents in black and green vests were sighted.

I will never understand people who go to get a COVID vaccine but don’t wear a mask while getting one. It takes a while for COVID vaccine protection to kick in, you are still at risk while you are getting vaccinated and several days afterwards.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Maha. Maha is 23 years old, she was hoping to complete her studies in English translation. Her family is trying to survive including her siblings Nour, 27, Israa, 19, Ayman, 17, Heba, 14 and her nieces and nephew Hour, 7, Shams, 5 and Majd, 3.

Chicago has the most lead service lines in the country — around 412,000 — and officials don’t plan to finish replacing them all until 2076. Here's how to protect yourself. https://www.citybureau.org/newswire/2025/9/2/lead-pipes-chicago-how-to-protect-yourself

Please consider supporting Haneen! Her accounts are systematically being removed, and her family is desperate. She is an incredibly kind person, just trying to keep her children alive during a genocide.

Israel’s military launched its ground assault on Monday “to occupy Gaza City,” killing at least 62 Palestinians, most of them in the city, according to Axios and the Wafa news agency. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/k3tiwn pic.x.com/GeRMd5IGJO
