Conservative politics for the next 20 years will be various attempts to relitigate 2020, and it will be important to keep that in mind whenever anyone tries to get you to admit they have a point.

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.

A ball of puffy inflated letters forming five words. Each word is a different color for legibility purposes and streams of color are running out of the letters onto those below and dripping off the roughly spherical mass. The entire thing reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

feds are out in force in aurora. not sharing video, but residents have likewise turned out in force—and they aren't happy.
