ICE went after rideshare drivers at O’Hare today, according to statement from Illinois Drivers Alliance

he leads Chicago-style Mass

A day after a federal judge ruled that ICE can’t use “tear gas, pepper spray, or other weapons against journalists.”

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.

I also wrote about Home Is Where, for the emos

I wrote about Frog (the band)

it’s a secret third thing (Kenneth, who accidentally wanders onstage while running an errand for Tracy)

A Dist Court judge issued a TRO ordering the fed fence in Broadview removed.

Broadview mayor says court spoke “clearly and unequivocally” but that “it remains to be seen if ICE will respect the judge's order and dismantle this hazard immediately, or if they will continue their pattern of defiance."

“Lyrics soaked in defiance” lol

Amalgam’s three-day anniversary festival kicks off tonight at Elastic

Lmao

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

As we wait for Judge April Perry to rule, here's my full story from this morning's extraordinary hearing, for @wttw.bsky.social:

Take that user @ZxZNebula

New: U.S. attorneys moved today to dismiss felony assault charges against Paul Ivery, an intellectually disabled man who was arrested at a protest outside the Broadview ICE facility on Sept. 27.

Ivery agreed to waive his Miranda rights while in federal custody.

That’s right

OP counts!

nominate me for best of chicago in every category you see fit

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

sure, I’ve also seen that become an established pattern in Chicago the past decade+. I’m not suggesting such things don’t happen, but saying this is “new” is… off

NEW — Rod Johnson will never forget federal agents zip-tying his hands behind his back.

The night of the South Shore raid in Chicago, Johnson said he was detained for two hours.

“I’m an American citizen with no warrants,” Johnson said.

ICE is in Back of the Yards again* this morning. 1 person detained: instagram.com/p/DPlsHGoDvek

*Rarely a day has gone by since this surge began that they haven't grabbed people in this area. That footage you saw of Chicagoans being tear gassed on Saturday was in an adjacent neighborhood.

Lmao what

I try to catalog and document the chances to Chicago’s record-store landscape every RSD (more useful than listing gimmicky limited pressings). I was on parental leave this last spring, but the 2024 roundup includes a decent outlook on the shops still operating.
