The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

‼️ Read @kevinhfoster.bsky.social's posts from last night and note how the protest in front of ICE had been peaceful, with little to no interaction with feds, until the right-wing propagandists and influencers showed up.

Kevin Foster @kevinhfoster.bsky.social · 18h

A crowd of right-wing agitators just stormed through chanting “Whose streets? Our streets.” A woman appears to have been shoved to the ground (hear clothes were dirty and hand had a small cut). A right-wing man may have been punched.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

This is why the work of community watch groups is so important. It's not just capturing the faces of ICE agents, but also their vehicles. In Massachusetts we are already seeing them adapt and change their tactics in response to the work of community groups.

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 3h

One of the things that I think the internal politics of ICE/CBP is probably grappling with and didn't quite get when all this kicked off is that the fact that the surveillance state could be turned back on the secret police in a way that makes it very hard for anything they do to be ignored.

I am working in a restaurant and everyone is scared. We've lost 4 or 5 to ICE. People are afraid to come to work during daylight hours, so they get to work 5 or 6 hours early and sleep in the dry storage until their shift starts. People are sleeping here at night.

I’m sorry, I don’t believe there is any good reason why Dems *everywhere* can’t put that message out and stand behind it

The reason the ICE videos aren’t producing a backlash of that scale (yet) is that our institutional elites are deeply committed to ignoring them, which both reduces their spread and reduces the sense that this is something important we SHOULD be freaking out about.
