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.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Covenant Eyes Cofounder Helps Post Bond for Adult Stepson, Who Is Charged With Felony Child Sex Abuse

In August, Thomas Wideman, an adult stepson of Covenant Eyes cofounder Ron DeHaas, was arrested during a CSAM sting operation.

Looks like the ol' neighborhood has it covered. Hell yeah, Chicago

A Facebook post and comments:

Hey folks! I'm a part of an ICE bike patrol group for Lincoln Sq/Ravsswood and Albany Park. ICE has been all over the north side today and there are a few schools that have reached out to see if our folks are available to help monitor during dismissal.
I know some schools/parents have organized specific groups within their community to do this sort of dismissal ICE watch. If you know of one of these groups at our neighborhood schools and would like support from this bike patrol group please reach out to me. Happy to be a conduit for information sharing.
Also. You're welcome to disagree with any of this, but please know I will delete comments at my discretion

Comment 1:
Sent you a message-please PM me if I can help
Comment 2:
Thank you & everyone in your bike patrol group! Grateful to have neighbors looking out for each other

Pritzker cracking heads for ICE in Broadview freed them up to rampage in the city.

Literally. People that spent months handwringing about how pro-Palestinian protesters were getting radicalized to become Nazis, now they‘re “this genocide is serious guys!”

Yeah exactly, it was more that he wanted the people in the room to understand why she thinks that. Which I get, I just haven’t seen him making the same push for them to support immigrants.

Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings before raids begin. This is what community defense looks like. 💪

He’s definitely better than running a literal skeleton, but yeah his whole campaign is about empathy for Trump voters to “bring them to our side”

Plus he was a merc for Blackwater

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

There’s nothing quite like searching someone’s posts for Palestine and watching them go from “saying free Palestine is antisemitic” after Oct 7 to “please donate to my friend in Gaza.”

Its good. But I won’t forget what many of you said.

The US military stops getting paid from next week.

White House has, for now, ruled out legislative fix for military pay

Over 1 million military paychecks could go unfulfilled on Oct. 15.

I think we need to be crystal clear about how Trump's creation of a nationwide police force—loyal only to him—threatens to create a feedback loop of lawlessness in which our constitutional right to dissent may vanish. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It is now beyond debate that one of Donald Trump’s key goals is the creation of a national police force that is loyal to him alone. To that end, the president has repeatedly federalized the National Guard—often over governors’ objections—and deployed troops to invade blue cities whose residents oppose his administration. He has also transformed Immigration and Customs Enforcement into a kind of secret police that targets, with especially sadistic brutality, journalists, protesters, and others exercising their First Amendment rights. Trump’s multifaceted attack on the Constitution creates a feedback loop of lawlessness: He first erodes the structural limits on his authority, then exploits his newly unchecked power to trample the people’s freedom to dissent.

We've now entered the second year of war - two years of nonstop suffering. We've lost our safety, our homes, and our dreams.

Two years of pain is enough to break any soul, yet somehow, we're still holding on to life.

After a quiet period, ICE grabbed someone on Broadway in #Newport yesterday and we are expecting them to show up at the Broadway Street Fair tomorrow. Please let me know if you need info or the hotline for the immigrant defense network.
