New: Pablo Moreno González and Felipe Agustin Zamacona, two men formerly held at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and now the named plaintiffs in a federal class action alleging inhumane treatment at the facility, are being released from federal custody per a successful habeas petition.

Phenomenal reporting here by @tonia.thetriibe.com. Fabio Valentin, who was tapped to oppose an upcoming certificate of innocence for a wrongfully convicted Englewood man, is the same 90s-era assistant state’s attorney named in one of Chicago’s most expensive wrongful conviction settlements.

“The special prosecutor tapped to oppose an upcoming certificate of innocence petition for Kevin Jackson, a wrongfully convicted Englewood man, is the same 1990s-era assistant state’s attorney named in one of Chicago’s best known and most expensive wrongful conviction settlements.”

NEW — Should a prosecutor involved in the wrongful conviction of the Englewood Four be assigned as a special prosecutor in a new wrongful conviction case? thetriibe.com/2025/11/kevi...

Over the last few months, I've been taking a closer look at one of three special prosecutors tapped by the state's attorney's office to oppose Kevin Jackson's certificate of innocence. Jackson was wrongfully convicted and spent 23 years incarcerated. thetriibe.com/2025/11/kevi...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Court back in session for a restraining order hearing on the class action alleging inhumane conditions at the Broadview ICE facility. Class rep Pablo Moreno González still on the stand for cross-examination by the govt's legal team.

We gone need local Black led reporting more than ever And that’s all I can say until somebody makes me independently wealthy because None of the words I want to say beside will keep on this side of heaven or prison so I am focusing on supporting who we need

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

This 911 call is something. Complete confusion is understandable from a layperson, but it’s unusual to hear a “federal agent” struggle to describe the most basic elements of what allegedly happened and who was involved. Of course, then he describes a Black woman as “African.”

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...

I've been following the aftermath of a car crash where a federal agent was captured on video placing a Black man in a chokehold. We obtained the 911 call made by a US Border Patrol agent who was on the scene through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request thetriibe.com/2025/11/list...

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

NEW — In response to the pause in SNAP benefits scheduled for Nov. 1 due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, Gov. JB Pritzker signed an order to designate $20 million in state funding for 2,600 food pantries across Illinois. thetriibe.com/2025/10/prit...

NEW — The day before Halloween, Gov. JB Pritzker urged the President Donald Trump administration to suspend its immigration enforcement operations this weekend so families and children can stay safe while celebrating the holiday. thetriibe.com/2025/10/prit...

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow? NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

Ellis just reminded government lawyers that Halloween is Friday and says she does not want to get reports of them pepper balling as gassing residents on the holiday. I’ve been very worried about Friday with so many out and about.

Judge Ellis just ordered Greg Bovino to report to her in-person at 6pm every day about that day’s events.

Ellis tells Bovino the people of Chicago have a right to tell him and his agents that they don't like what they are doing and want them to leave. "They can't get tear gassed" for doing that. Bovino: "I understand what you are saying, your honor. We will abide by the temporary restraining order."

NEW: Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino says he does not have a body-worn camera. Ellis: If you asked for one, I bet you could get one. Is that fair? Bovino: Yes, ma'am. He agrees to get a camera by Friday and undergo the training.

Folks have the right to be on public property absent exigent circumstances, Ellis says. People standing on sidewalks and fliming and shouting do not present an immediate threat to law enforcement officers, Ellis says, explaining her order.

Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino arrives at the Federal Building in Chicago's Loop this morning. #OnAssignment for @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis. What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino just entered the Chicago’s Dirksen Courthouse, surrounded by masked border patrol agents, as a small group of protesters jeer. Bovino is set to testify this morning about his agency’s alleged violations of a temporary restraining order.

attorneys at @loevy.com, who represent protesters, clergy, and press (including me), accused border patrol commander greg bovino in a new court filing of personally violating a federal judge’s orders by throwing tear gas at a crowd of residents. www.loevy.com/wp-content/u...

New: District Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago has issued an order this afternoon, commanding Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino to appear in federal court on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Bovino was videotaped throwing tear gas into a crowd in Chicago's Little Village community this past Thursday.

In Wrigleyville in Chicago right now— ICE/CBP has reportedly been targeting laborers in the area all morning. A large number of neighbors are gathered outside a house where agents snatched a man. His lunch is still here on the ground. Area is clear of feds for now, gas deployed earlier.

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago. masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets. this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

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 — The TRiiBE goes to the No Kings protest with veteran reporter Monroe Anderson. Together, Anderson and TRiiBE co-founder Morgan Elise Johnson reflect on the historic moment while interviewing attendees. Watch here: thetriibe.com/2025/10/the-...

Border Patrol returned to the O'Hare rideshare lot today after taking 11 people on Saturday 10/18. No official word yet on how many were detained. When we visited yesterday, drivers told us it was very empty for a Sunday. Last Friday 10/10, they took 18 people here (it's city-owned property).

it's almost like it was never about crime and democrats who blustered about deporting "violent criminals" instead of standing firmly against trump's racist agenda only paved the way for this to happen

UPDATE — Multiple witness videos today show an older white federal agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside of a Walgreens on Chicago’s Southeast Side. This is a developing story. thetriibe.com/2025/10/fede...

NEW — For the second time in less than a week, militarized federal agents deployed tear gas in a Chicago residential area. Members of the media, Chicago police officers on the scene for crowd control, and the broader nearby community were also exposed to the tear gas. thetriibe.com/2025/10/fede...
