Looks like ICE again has a big, hot mess on its hands. This time with the arrest of a Chicago TV station employee.
Witnesses say Debbie Brockman was just standing nearby when ICE roared up. She was later released from custody without charge....now this:

Jacqueline Sweet @jsweetli.bsky.social · 7h

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino said today that Brockman has “charges pending.” He also posted a photo of her in the ICE minivan after she was detained.

I asked how she wasn’t charged right away if she assaulted officers and what the charges will be but he hasn’t replied.

WGN journalist Debbie Brockman has been released. Her violent arrest occurred *after* a federal judge barred federal agents from using force or threatening to arrest journalists.

ICE agents in Chicago kidnapped WGN-TV camera operator Debbie Brockman, loaded her into a van with a New Jersey license plate. @booker.senate.gov Can you help explain? @jbpritzker.bsky.social did anyone give permission for ICE agents from NJ to invade Illinois?

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

And my ( unanswered question) is are the Republicans in Congress and Senate OKAY with a foreign nation putting a airbase in the country? If Democrats did this… . And why do the Quatar government want one… the biggest unanswered question.

Quasar “gives” Trump old plane and suddenly Quatar has permission to build an Air Force facility so Quatar pilots can learn to fly bombers in our country. What is going on? Was Quatar involved in 911? Republicans have control over Congress, Supreme Court, FBI, DOJ, Department of Defense (war)etc…

Quatar, a key supporter of Hamas and other terrorist groups in the Middle East, bought a future F-15 training facility in the US (Idaho) for its new Air Force. An F-15C combat range is 670 miles figure 1340 miles 1 way. So an F-15 going 1-way could hit any target within the red circle.

Target range of F-15C from Idaho covers the states of Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, parts of Colorado and California and Canada.
