From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning: "God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

It takes years of public meetings and debate for citizens to get a sparse few concrete barriers to protect cyclists, but it can be done on a whim to protect state sponsored torturers.

What the fawk is this sh*t I loathe them so much

This camp is in El Paso. This is where today’s flight from Gary just landed. It was carrying detainees from ICE’s detention facility in Broadview. All of DHS’s denials in this story about inhumane conditions and lack of access to attorneys are the same false claims they made about Broadview.

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation. Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Actual LOL

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism. They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

fucking vile blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

The internet is full of resources for individuals (both on their own & within groups) especially around digital security so I’ll won’t start there but one of the things I’ve learned is that how the work gets shared externally / publicly, if at all, is a key starting point for org opsec & trust bldg.

This is pretty much how all law enforcement operate—from CPD to ICE.

ICIRR posted this video on their IG of a man and a baby struggling after they’ve both been pepper sprayed by federal agents.

Hypocrite: It’s been Pritzker’s goons cracking heads at Broadview for the last month.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally. around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.

As many eyes will be on court downtown today, there are early indications ICE may be active in this area again. Agents reportedly snatched a daycare worker in Roscoe Village this morning.

It’s so cool how I now can hear the sound of helicopters in the sky and immediately know when it’s the University of Chicago medical helicopter (fine) vs the other occupier/occupation collaborator helicopters (not fine). So so cool. I love it so much. 😑

CONFIRMED ICE LICENSE PLATES (11/3/25): - White GMC Denali, Florida plates, DQ1BHN - Black GMC Denali, RZU835 - Black Chevy Tahoe, Maryland plates, 5GP8392

be careful in lincoln square and ravenswood right now. confirmed sightings in numerous locations around the neighborhoods. please check your local rapid response for confirmed cross streets bc there’s quite a few this morning.

ICE / CBP used chemical weapons against community members in Chicago area neighborhoods 10 times in October: - 10/3: Logan Sq* - 10/4: Brighton Pk* - 10/12: Albany Pk* - 10/14: East Side+ - 10/22: Little Village* - 10/23: Little Village* - 10/24: Lakeview* - 10/25: Old Irving Pk*, Avondale*, Aurora+

This thread is about Evanston, but this has also been going on without reprieve in Elgin, Aurora, and other Chicago suburbs—a metro area of nearly 10 million people.

Some context to the viral videos: Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units. They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

You should watch this with the sound on to hear how matter-of-fact dystopian the Illinois State Police "warning" is. Again, not ICE. Pritzker's state police. Who we're told are not assisting ICE.

A whole enormous BASS. Our side has the most beautiful people.

"[D]epriving them of sleep, privacy, menstrual products, and the ability to shower." "[C]ramped facility that smells strongly of feces, urine." "[B]locked from making confidential calls to their attorneys." #Illinois #USA #Policing #Healthcare #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

Similar signs popped up around DC during the ICE surge

Finally got my whistle.

Every new city is a new learning opportunity for them (ICE & CBP) to evolve and adapt tactics. This is also true of the opposition.

People keep bringing up NYC or asking why not there and there are some things to note: 1) ICE *is* operating in NYC. They have easy targets at immigration court daily, there have been nonstop arrests there for months & 2) NYC's density is a completely different beast than any other US city

They've used Chicago as a testing/training ground for this roving army of BP dipshits after doing the same in LA. Feels pretty crucial that everyone not in Chicago continue paying attention to Chicago to know exactly what to expect when they move elsewhere.

Its so hard to understand the scope and scale of the Federal attack on Chicago, led by ICE and CBP. I put this map and table together, highlighting the most significant incidents from 9/19-10/25. The area shown is roughly 30 by 35 miles with incidents in all corners.

3,000 people.

ICE is hitting the west burbs again this morning, including Oak Park and Bensenville, also now active in far south/SE sides after getting started a little later than usual. SERR reports one person was taken from a McDonald's: instagram.com/p/DQURyhTjnPc

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

This cruelty, attacking babies AGAIN. Thinking also of the South Shore raid where they ZIP TIED TODDLERS for hours and literally said Fuck Them Kids. Solidarity with parents of struggling against US occupation around the fucking world.

Chicago neighborhoods tear gassed by federal agents during recent immigration raids: Logan Square, Brighton Park, Little Village, East Side, Lakeview, Irving Park and Avondale.

A call for solidarity among marginalized communities of NW Indiana. "This is not isolated at all. They're just snatching people off the streets. To some level, this is what certain parts of our population have always experienced. And now, a lot more people are seeing [...] it could be you next."

kim mcgee with black lives matter gary connects ice’s deportation flights at the gary airport with the long history of environmental racism foisted on residents of northwest indiana. “this is just another one of these issues of gary being used to do things that wouldn’t happen other places.”

"These are modern day slave catchers. Call them for what they are. Stop giving them a pass. Make people understand the depth of what's going on in our community, because everybody has to protect everybody."

In Gary, Indiana this morning— Community members have gathered in protest of ongoing ICE flights. This small, sleepy airport is where many captives from the Chicago area detention center are transported (frequently in the middle of the night) as the next step in the deportation pipeline.

happening now: about 50 people, including, community organizers, faith leaders and union workers, have gathered at the gary, indiana, airport to protest its complicity in trump’s mass deportations. many people abducted by ice in chicago are driven to the gary airport before being flown elsewhere.

Update: The Chicago clergy letter decrying ICE's actions and voicing a willingness on the part of clergy to put their "bodies on the line" to protest ICE has reached 250 signatures — and now includes multiple evangelical pastors/leaders of evangelical institutions in the area.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants. "What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

Chicago, IL: Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally joined an ICE raid at a laundromat in the city, but the owner locked the doors and refused entry, halting the operation on site

If you are in Chicago right now you have a moral obligation to get involved in defending our communities and neighborhoods from ICE. There are lots of different ways to show up, lots of different ways to plug in. Some don't involved leaving the house! But it's going to take all of us.
