Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

🧵Brian Straw is one of the folks charged, along w/ Kat Abughazaleh, w/ felony conspiracy to impede federal officers in Broadview [Chicago]. As it happens, he's also my friend, a deeply decent man whose compassion shines & fairly shimmers off him, no matter what he's doing. If you can help, pls do.
