I confirmed that around 9:45 a.m. Friday a group of Ravenswood neighbors yelled for federal immigration agents near Ravenswood Elementary School, 4332 N. Paulina St., to leave. They did. This and more from @blockclubchi.bsky.social's team here:

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Passing both steps isn’t guaranteed so showing up in SUPPORT on Tuesday is needed to counter those who prefer the status quo

Yesterday evening, dozens rallied for Broadway Upzoning, which would make it easier to build dense housing, including many affordable units, near the Red Line. Artist Lowell Johnson, shown, attended, as did an opponent who heckled them.

Judging from expensive-looking billboards prominently placed on Broadway in Uptown and Edgewater, you might assume these neighborhoods are dead-set against Broadway Upzoning. That’s the proposal to fa...

Kidnapped for being brown. ICE continues to terrorize our city and abduct our neighbors.

This brown skinned landscaper was minding his business on a job in Edgewater when 3 masked ICE thugs took him away. Then on leaving the 3 reportedly got out of their car, turned their guns on a woman and tried to get into her car for apparently driving too close searching for parking near her home

We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility.

It’s clearer than ever before.

What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.

More activity was reported in Edgewater and on the northside today since the blitz started. But our community is standing strong and staying vigilant

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started.

With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

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.

Please do not post videos of people being abducted by ICE if their faces are not blurred. Connect with your community defense networks. Here on the northside plug into One Northside where school zones are a top priority
