Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during Ronald Reagan’s term.

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

something something political violence

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.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This guy with a "LICK MY BUTTHOLE FEDS" sign has been standing on top of his car this whole time. Confirmed at least one protester snatched by ICE in the chaos.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

ICE executed a man in the middle of a busy street during morning rush hour last Friday—then they put out an easily disproven account—and it’s hardly registered as a blip.

at least 9 agents with ice’s special response team dragged and pushed protesters out of the way of the building’s driveway so a black passenger van could leave the broadview facility. agents grabbed a protester and have detained them inside the facility. the crowd is chanting, “let them go!”

hey so I’m hearing from a librarian in San Diego that a media company contacted the libraries to put up anti-human trafficking posters there but the numbers on them redirect to ICE hotlines and the media company was hired out by DHS. Not sure if this is happening elsewhere in SoCal, but be advised!!

ice agents this morning arrested at least one person from a walmart parking in streamwood, illinois, the elgin area rapid response team confirms. streamwood is a suburb about 35 miles northwest of chicago.

It is galvaning to own an independent newsroom right now, to hold a piece of potential. I hope legacy media isn't fully folded into US fascism, but we're building something small and resilient just in case. Subscribe to @rascal.news. Support worker-owned outfits. www.rascal.news#/portal/

The outpouring of support from readers & colleagues is overwhelming. I can't imagine them coming together like this for a "problematic" trans woman even five years ago. If you want to help me make up the lost income from comics work, you can subscribe to my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/scumbeliev...

Obligated to share my favorite rat little hand moment ever: youtu.be/KjAFQvsgqnA?...

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Chicagoland is Chicagoland, and the feds shouldn't be snatching neighbors anywhere in or around our city.

more video from the cbp operation in elgin this morning. you can see camouflaged agents carrying rifles. one walks with a dog on a leash. pickups, suvs, and armored trucks are parked up and down the street. you can hear the helicopter whirring overhead. (it’s since landed.)

ice arrested twelve people (!!!) from a house near lester and illinois rte. 59 in suburban west chicago at 6:30 this morning, per elgin area rapid response. upon further investigation, it looks to be related to this:

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

right now, we have no clue how many people ice has kidnapped in chicagoland under "operation midway blitz." masked feds are snatching people from their cars, from gas stations, from sidewalks. loved ones don't hear anything—sometimes for days. this is what it means to "disappear" people.

video from west chicago posted to facebook this morning shows agents breaking a person’s rear driver’s side window, forcing them from their car, and handcuffing them.

From available witness video it appears the staging area was the large parking complex in Elgin on Highland and Douglas.

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

In short, giving money to Paramount now would be to pay blood money to my own executioner. Bari Weiss is a dangerous bigot. Israel is committing genocide, trans rights are human rights, and I will not support this evil with my money. I urge you to do the same. It's not worth it.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

More coming in, faster than we can verify (guys, we're fucking exhausted). Hoffman Estates—looks like an arrest. Sighting in Schaumburg. Something down by McKinley Park, unclear if arrest, there's video of ICE pushing an empty car out of the road. Sightings in Cicero/Berwyn. Underwater again

Today, unhoused residents, advocates, and neighbors called upon the city & Ald. Nugent to halt their plan to tear down tents & other structures tomorrow morning in Legion Park, and to do more to support residents. “We need people who has a heart, a bigger heart.” –Carmen Laude, a park resident.

Our city is going through a massive emergency. People are trying to stay informed + locate loved ones if anything goes badly. Spreading misinfo, fake breaking news alerts, & old videos during a crisis causes confusion & forces people to waste resources. This isn't hard to understand.

The Mexican Independence Day Parade in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood went on as planned today despite concern of disruption by federal immigration agents. While parade festivities were underway, volunteers patrolled the area for on lookout for federal agents.

CHICAGO!!! We’re out protesting at the Broadview Detention Center (1930 Beach St) where ICE is detaining and deporting our neighbors. We’ve scared them off once today. Come by and help us do it again.

Some protesters have peeled off now, crowd is thinning. The group in the driveway remain. Resolutely singing, "I am not afraid, I am not afraid, I will fight for liberation 'cause I am not afraid."

This move by the Trump administration is an overtly discriminatory civil rights violation. Trans people have the same legal rights as other Americans — end of story. There are lots of good reasons to keep certain people from owning guns. Being trans isn't one of them. https://cnn.it/4niJnxG
