Chicago Just Named A Snowplow ‘Abolish ICE’— Here Are The Other Winners blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/23/c...

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

What a brave young girl. She was brave for her family and fighting for her dad until the very end.

📣 Our judicial election guide for the March 2026 primary is here! We spent months researching each candidate’s background, legal experience, political connections, conduct, and more — all so you can make informed decisions about who should be a Cook County judge. buff.ly/O4cRnL6

For those that don't know Chicago, this spans Division Street in Humboldt Park.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Incredible interview by @wbez.org’s @adrianacardmag.bsky.social with Marimar Martinez — who was shot, charged, vindicated in Trump’s deportation blitz in Chicago chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Congressional Budget Office: “Federal troop deployments to US cities cost a total of $496 million in 2025, CBO estimates. Continuing current deployments will cost $93 million a month; 1,000 Guard personnel deployed to a city will cost at least $18 million a month.” www.cbo.gov/publication/...

The @chicago.suntimes.com has now posted a public tracker of federal criminal cases tied to Operation Midway Blitz, with a small update: We've now tied 32 defendants to the campaign. The bottom line remains: 15 cleared and no one convicted, so far: chicago.suntimes.com/2026/tracker...

just amazing work by my colleagues at @wsj.com - a frame by frame analysis of the shooting incredible that some continue to rationalize this www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry. "They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

At the end of the No Kings march yesterday this guy just made my day. “Hey Trump, hey Proud Boys, hey Elon l, hey fascists” I wish I knew this guy‘s name. I’m gonna post a longer version of it when I can

You're going to be seeing a lot of this deranged Trump clip from 2023: He says we should have toppled Venezuela and taken the oil, which is terrible, terrible oil and will pollute the hell out of us.

Our project, “Chicago Under Siege,” is a permanent record of what happened in Chicago when the federal government used violence on its own people. blockclubchi.co/3Ye4GGa

The videos, released weeks after U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis’ historic order limiting agents' use of force, offer a firsthand look at flashpoint incidents from suburban Broadview, and Chicago's Little Village and East Side neigborhoods.

“Ellis wrote that she repeatedly found testimony by Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, the on-the-ground leader of Operation Midway Blitz, not credible. Bovino was evasive, either giving “cute” answers to attorney’s questions or outright lying, the judge said in her ruling.”

Good morning. The full transcript of U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino's deposition has been released. Three volumes, 400+ pages. Volume 1: cst.brightspotcdn.com/30/6c/1349ab... Volume 2: cst.brightspotcdn.com/b7/fb/4afdf1... Volume 3: cst.brightspotcdn.com/a3/e0/a520af...

NEWS: Libraries WIN in federal court! A judge in RI issued a permanent injunction stopping the Administration from dismantling the Institute of Museum & Library Services and nullifying all actions taken to do so. Read the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... (More to come from ALA)

Because of the Republican Party’s draconian immigration policies, a brewing institute that has been in Chicago since 1872 is moving to Quebec, citing “increased student visa challenges.” A loss for the city AND the country. www.facebook.com/Siebelinstit...

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.

@steventdennis.bsky.social Friday Night Zillow suggestion

‼️ Why did you, @jay.bsky.team @support.bsky.team suspend the account of one of the most outspoken, independent and important critics of the Trump regime - my friend and colleague @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ? By cutting her off, you also endanger her. Reinstall her account NOW! Please share widely

MacArthur Justice Center has a form for people who were detained inside the Broadview ICE facility to report on their experiences. Family and friends of detainees can also fill our this form on behalf of someone who is or was detained inside Broadview.

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

Today's ICE flight from Gary landed in El Paso, Texas.

How it started/How it is going

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Feds Tell Faith Leaders 'No More Prayer' Outside Broadview Facility blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

The next witness in this hearing over conditions at the Broadview ICE facility is Ruben Torres Maldonado, whose daughter is battling cancer: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

NEW — The TRiiBE obtained audio of a 911 call made by a Border Patrol agent to report a crash injuring a 49-year-old Black woman in Chicago. In the aftermath of the crash, a federal agent was captured on witness video apparently placing a Black man in a chokehold. thetriibe.com/2025/11/list...

Loads of families are currently trick or treating from business to business and parking lot to parking lot along 26th Street in Little Village. There’s also loads of rapid responders with vests and whistles patrolling making sure families can enjoy the holiday in peace.
