I get that very narrow area which is not in violation. Them establishing traffic corridor, which they have, very clearly is.

It was never a war zone like this until they arrived.

A fall morning in Chicago now: biking down Lawrence through Albany Park, which looks like a relative ghost town compared to its usual foot traffic, watching as street vendors scramble to pack up and flee because ICE just grabbed someone. Folks screaming and whistling at every intersection.

So proud of my city. 👊❤️

(Albany Park is a diverse neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago.)

* Continuing to fight the "Chicago is a hellhole" narrative: I saw this because I biked a few miles to a lovely chocolate cafe on a gorgeous fall day where the leaves were starting to turn golden.

Border Patrol slammed the burbs this morning while Bovino was in court. Now they're patrolling the city. Multiple people detained in Humboldt Park. A Blackhawk has been circling the north side. Just watched a FB live from Berwyn end as an agent backed into someone behind him, then detained them.

They've used Chicago as a testing/training ground for this roving army of BP dipshits after doing the same in LA. Feels pretty crucial that everyone not in Chicago continue paying attention to Chicago to know exactly what to expect when they move elsewhere.
🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
That they did it twice in two neighborhoods within an hour on Saturday!
This is also why you can still walk outside every day and go to work with everything appearing mostly "normal" and you meet people in your day to day who have no idea four neighborhoods were tear gassed last week and you feel completely fucking insane over it all

1. As SNAP benefits expire, 42,000,000 hungry people may turn to the USDA website.

Now, the website blames their hunger on transgender people and immigrants.

It's a cynical ploy, an an indication that anti-trans measures are a Trump priority for the shutdown.

I’m so sorry, Mike. 😢
IME instagram is heavily suppressing any ICE related content and posting.

CPD: “Both sides are at fault”.

Unsurprising. Fascists gonna fascist.
Just drop it. I don’t miss it.
Maybe it finally go through to him that these were TRUST violations.

Bluesky made me enable adult content to see this Pulitzer-worthy photo.

For non-locals, it’s overcast and 53°.
outside the ice detention center in broadview, illinois—

roughly 100 protesters are gathered in the “free speech” zone on beach street.

a smaller crowd tonight than in recent weeks, but no less animated. people with megaphones are heckling masked agents + local cops at the other end of the block.
Distributed some of the whistles we packed @hhforcats.org this week throughout the neighborhood.
Saw the same. I’ll plan on seeing you tomorrow.
Probably not, they’re being purchased through the national networks.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!
