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

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Folks playing some thematic standoff music now.

Really just cannot express how non-threatening this small group of neighbors appears at the moment, and how absurd this massive police presence appears in comparison.

Outside the Broadview detention center, ISP + Broadview PD are still blocking Harvard + 25th. It's officially after curfew.

One organizer is urging some remaining protesters to leave (they are mostly ignoring the plea). It's truly mostly press here now, including a number of far right/chud media.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

When did Trump say this?

It is reasonable basis to put someone on an involuntary 72 hour psychiatric hold for apparent detachment from reality.

Trump is either bona fide insane or is being carefully & deliberately misled & manipulated by Miller, Homan, Bondi, Noem

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
