Fearless journalists & vigilant residents are telling Chicago's story. The shocking images show ICE agents out of control, people in danger AND people standing strong. Don't look away from this unprecedented abuse of federal power. My latest:

photos taken in Chicago over the past few weeks showing ICE agents, and Chicagoans reacting including a man with a flag walking through tear gas clouds, a pastor being sprayed with tear gas, an ice agent pointing a gun out a window, a bike messenger being chased by ICE

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.

American citizens are being detained & brutalized.

This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago

Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.
