Damn. It’s now become cystal clear that, like Pritzker, Johnson’s gonna use his uniformed muscle to run interference for ICE. We’re on our own.

Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives. ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal." As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

NEW: I found 17 sheriffs in Illinois that have contracts to detain people for ICE through U.S. Marshals Service contracts. IL law explicitly prohibits these types of intergovernmental service agreements. news.wttw.com/2025/10/22/d...

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active. Shared with permission—rapid response whistle team at Bryn Mawr & Broadway this morning.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

ICE is once again targeting rideshare divers at O’hare parking lots. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights says that multiple people have been detained. This is at least the third incident in the last few weeks involving ICE and rideshare drivers at O’hare.

What part of “Don’t appease fascists” does he not get? Trump took Pritzker’s intervention as a sign of weakness, and doubled down on the invasion. Pritzker had the option to do nothing. But he made a decision to enable Trump’s invasion of Chicago.

If you don’t believe me when I say Pritzker is a resistance grifter, maybe this glowing review of Pritzker by ICE will persuade you.

Border Patrol has absolutely tormented Cicero this morning. Rapid Response is reporting six abductions so far, *possibly* one child taken as well: instagram.com/p/DQCcoIrE0LD/

ACAB

Insufferable centrists.

ICE continues their terror campaign today as people protest in mass. Border Patrol was seen in Blue Island, and at the O'Hare rideshare lot again. Sightings in southeast side. A truck with a smashed window in Villa Park. Right now, they're hunting people on the southwest side.

Israeli settler fanatics gathered this morning at the road leading to Karm Abu Salem crossing to prevent the entry of desperately needed humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. The subhuman with the baby in the pram…. Sickos 🤢🤢🤢

David Brooks is a stupid dipshit who sucks ass. "why do people think Trump is good" is a question for idiots. they don't think he's good. they think he's a piece of shit, and they actively want a piece of shit

It wasn’t a “shameful failure.” A Democratic administration, with overwhelming support from its party members in Congress, provided an endless stream of arms and full-throated diplomatic support to a genocide. The only door they deserve to have opened for them is a trap door beneath their feet.

Dear media, 1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven. 2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

The hasbara is dialing up again I see, with multiple accounts trying (once again) to blur the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Judaism. It’s not even a fresh spin, it’s just quoting people’s completely rational statements and then pedantically lying about what they quite explicitly mean.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

Feds just making up laws on the spot to try to scare people from reporting on their activity.

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started. With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

Some of you USers need to get your history of the 20th Century from somewhere other than Ken Burns and Hollywood. The USA and in particular its military and spy wings have never fucking ever been anti-fascist. Your great-grandpa Bart who survived the Battle of the Bulge might have killed some Nazis—

What a weird thing to post after ICE raids entire neighborhoods with the help of state police

As others have pointed out, Democratic politicians - generally, not necessarily these two specifically - have made their careers in part by pandering to manufactured, reactionary ‘public safety’ issues. They then lavishly bankroll law enforcement apparatuses populated by people who hate them.

Restaurants should not refuse to feed ICE agents.

*Many more neighbors were affected, but you won't get tallies on those numbers from the media because they don't get free ambulance rides and a PR team to issue statements on their behalf

The stars are ratings. We’ll eat the Texas Guard for lunch.

I will never vote for this piece of shit, you might as well mothball him now, libs

The vast majority of the murders and the “particular horrors” of October 7 were committed by the IOF, which admitted to slaughtering its own people to keep them from being taken prisoner by enemy forces. Continuing to spread the lies about that day helps justify the “protracted horrors” of genocide.

I call on Governor Pritzker to withdraw the State Police goon squads brutalizing protesters on ICE’s behalf in Broadview.

To be fair, the ‘opposition’ isn’t very oppositional, at least not in Illinois. Our esteemed billionaire governor backs up his cautiously defiant rhetoric by sending out the state police to help the federal goons abuse protesters. Seems less civil war and more Good Cop/Bad Cop fascist takeover.

I wouldn’t be sad at all if this had resulted in two LODDs

It was only two weeks ago when we first saw an ICE agent unholster his sidearm at Broadview. Since then, there have been many reports of agents directly pointing their guns at protesters. The escalation is escalating.

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICE—something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

The democrats distance themselves from the actual left because they can't stop wanting to please republicans, so when Trump tries to make a stir talking about the radical left democrats, the democrats can always go, radical left, not us!

Zero sympathy for them having to sit and get berated by an unqualified administration that most of them probably voted for twice.

In the last two weeks these feds have choked & beaten protesters, broken bones, given people concussions from munitions, pointed their sidearms at people, tear gassed a neighborhood, shot reporters in the face, destroyed neighbors' property, threatened elected officials No National Guard necessary

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out. They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

As ICE continues to terrorize Chicagoland, protesters gathered this morning outside the Broadview detention center—throwing stuffed animals at DHS agents, playing music through tear gas assaults, and putting their bodies on the line to stop ICE vehicles. My latest.

The current administration doesn’t have to be clever or principled or even focused, it just has to be willful. Because there is no will to stop them in any of the rest of government. The ‘checks and balances’ have all been neutered in service of Wall St., Silicon Valley, and the Pentagon.

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Noem and Vance are spinning the sniper attack in Dallas as attacks on ICE. Don't buy it. It's an attack on IMMIGRANTS in ICE custody. They got penned up and slaughtered by this government's message of hatred towards brown people.

"tankie" is used in the same vein by liberals as reich-wingers do with the word "woke"

TOMORROW!! 1930 Beach, Broadview, IL
