Per photographer Matthew Kaplan this morning, ICE has now fenced off the street in front of the Broadview processing facility.

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

Video of a federal agent (who was present at Broadview today) putting a woman in a chokehold as other protesters carry her away after he shot her with pepper balls at close range.

The campaign pressuring Disney is the playbook for what to do when institutions cave to Trump: 1) Demand politicians condemn it 2) Boycott them (cancel subscriptions) 3) Pressure their advertisers 4) Disrupt their business operation Make them more scared of us than Trump.

Another arrest at Broadview today:

Re: ICE "evacuating" the Broadview facility I am hearing from some folks that ICE made a similar claim about a facility in Portland (that it was winding down operations) that was basically a fake out, with normal operations resuming there before long, so we are going to have to be vigilant.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

Today at the Broadview detention facility, federal agents unleashed severe violence on people protesting, and engaged in actions endangering people on the scene. Read NLG Chicago's full statement:

Protest the Broadview ICE facility with us today! 1930 Beach Street. See you there.

customs and border patrol looks to be gearing up for an active day in elgin—with armored trucks, pickups, suvs, and a helicopter flying overhead. before dawn, agents reportedly raided a house on a residential street near elgin fresh market.

💚🤍❤️ Tomorrow - Sunday - show up in Little Village, show your support!

Before you comment on anything we report today, please look at this map. Internalize it. Then look at it again. ICE activity is happening in a ring of fire around the city proper right now, in less dense areas that are heavily disinvested, with few local media to cover quickly developing events.

NO TRUMP, NO ICE! CATA is joining forces with Milwaukee Fights Back to mobilize for a protest this Saturday at the Great Lakes Naval Base, where federal forces have been gathering.

They've been doing stops all over this area for days We collected evidence and sources, we even forwarded to other reporters with big newsroom resources because we are underwater as just two people, just had no time for write-up on larger pattern No one listened And now a man is dead

^ it was just one pepper ball, allegedly We're off the ground. A man bled to death on the street today because of ICE. Whatever the true narrative of events turns out to be, it never would have happened if they weren't here.

moments ago, at least 20 ice agents (most of them srt) arrived to push the crowd back and allow two vehicles to leave the broadview ice facility. a couple agents arrived carrying two five gallon buckets that read “toxic.” ice is wearing gas masks now. an agent on the roof is flying a drone.

dhs is broadcasting a dispersal order, claiming protesters are blocking official la enforcement activity and warning of potential arrests or the use of less lethal weapons.

good morning from outside the ice detention/processing facility in broadview, illinois. protesters are gathering here to oppose president trump’s mass-deportation blitz. about a dozen camouflaged ice agents, some with with less lethal weapons, one with a rifle, are standing in the street.

No sleep for ICE! The community showed up loud outside the Hampton Inn in Downer's Grove, a Chicago suburb.

The protest march in Chicago - the second in only four days staged in opposition to the Trump admin's targeteting of Chicagoland for an immigration blitz - has stepped off from Congress Plaza and is heading north down Michigan Avenue. Hundreds of people have joined the march so far.

ICE OUT OF CHICAGO! We’re getting started here at Ida B Wells and Michigan. JOIN US! We will continue to take to the streets and exercise our right to resist until we kick ICE out of Chicago and stop these racist attacks on immigrants and all working and oppressed people! #fightback #unity

People! This is not CPD. It’s the Broadview Police Department. A suburb in which ICE located a detention facility. People are in front of it protesting.

❌🧊 ICE OUT OF CHICAGO!! Rally & march on Tuesday, Sept. 9th, 5:00 pm, at Michigan Ave. & Ida B. Wells Dr. in downtown Chicago. This action is organized by the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda @chicago-cata.bsky.social & IL Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights @icirr.bsky.social

This morning, September 8, CATA forces joined the Mauser workers from Teamsters local 705 who have been on strike for three months demanding a fair contract that includes protections from ICE raids in the workplace.

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.

ICE is turning around now, escorted by Broadview police. Crowd is jubilant. Someone is shouting, "this is what it takes! They are turning around!"

Protest to close the ICE processing center in Broadview, Illinois today

Hundreds of DHS agents (ICE, CBP) are arriving in Lake County. Whether they get military support or not, they don't actually need it to start terrorizing Chicagoland. Take whatever course of action now feels most appropriate to you, but that's the reality of the situation.

ICE is back to kidnapping our neighbors, Chicago! Get out there tomorrow morning if you can! #CommunityDefense #AbolishICE #Chicago

Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve

The masses are moving on Labor Day! #unitedfront

NEW — “We know, just like all of you, that uniting with everyone in Chicago, with the other movements, with police crimes and labor [and] reproductive rights, [and] academic freedom, this will give us the best chance at tearing down this system.” thetriibe.com/2025/09/live...

#ResistanceRoots In most of the world, Labor Day is celebrated on May 1 to commemorate the Haymarket Riot in Chicago in 1886. If a U.S. event was the historic source for May Day, why does the U.S. celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September? /1

I'm here at the Haymarket Memorial in Chicago where folks are setting up for today's Labor Day rally and march. This will be the thread for that.

Why does Labor Day exist? Because the powers-that-be in the US wanted to make sure that US workers didn’t identify with May Day & workers elsewhere —& it worked. Canada went along with it, but spelled it differently. May Day coincided roughly with the Haymarket affair, in Chicago.

I got arrested yesterday! (real drop off from being a corporate law firm associate five months ago. or upgrade.) I was blocking vehicles leaving from ICE’s Broadview, IL, staging ground and de facto detention center at 1930 Beach St. full statement (for now) below.

See you tomorrow!
