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.

Senator Durbin doesn’t believe this is worth stopping in exchange for rural healthcare

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

I imagine so. There's going to be a lot happening at 2 pm in the fed court today, check out @jonseidel.bsky.social with the Sun-Times or @jmetr22b.bsky.social with the Trib. I'll also try to cover but have to split time between multiple hearings at 2.

Imagine one app to plan your trip, pay your fare, and transfer across CTA, Metra, and Pace. Seamless travel for all Chicagoland riders is possible if the General Assembly passes a sustainable transit solution. Sign a letter to your legislator at SaveTransitNow.org 📲

The lawsuit comes hours after a federal judge in Oregon barred Trump from deploying federalized members of the any National Guard troops under Trump's command to Oregon.
