Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.

“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

Not enough noise being made for how fierce Fantasy Banks has been tearing these weeks back to back! Like my bitch is on the sewing machines clocking in to her runways/challenge looks, and tearing the challenges down 🫶🏼🫶🏼

you guys gotta prepare yourselves for real on what you will do when an ICE raid happens in front of you. remember SALUTE when reporting. REPORT IMMEDIATELY! call the hotline BEFORE you post on social media, BEFORE you text your friends, BEFORE you engage with ANY state or federal officers.

It’s also an option for businesses generally considered public spaces to designate private “staff only” areas, such as back offices or kitchens, which means 🧊 would need a judicial warrant signed by a judge to get back there, which they are unlikely to have.

irish fish @neutralgena.bsky.social · 3d

a club/bar is a public space, clearing ICE to enter.
HOWEVER: once a ticket, cover or wristband is required for entry, it deems the area PRIVATE, preventing ICE raids indoors. this information is directly from ICIRR. in order to get in to your PRIVATE party, they must have a warrant. ⬇️

Again, I ask, what are we going to do when ICE shows up. Sharing infographics (if even that) only does so much, because it’s not beyond me that most of the shows on the strip have almost all-white audiences, and I don’t trust white gays to do the right thing (clearly). So what are we doing?

Meanwhile, spaces like Fantasy are struggling to get people through the door because they are scared. Noche vaquera, one of the only explicitly Latino nights in boystown, looks entirely different than it did even a month ago. Chicago’s segregation is disgusting and Boystown is not free of it.

NEW — Today, Illinois and Chicago jointly filed a federal lawsuit, asking a judge to block Trump’s efforts to federalize and deploy troops to Illinois, and to declare the actions unlawful.

The lawsuit includes a history of Trump’s “animus” toward a Chicago, as well.
