Another incident of federal agents pointing guns at Chicago area residents.

Tweet from @laura_n_rod

Text: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

News of it never circulated here, but @elijahbrubaker.bsky.social died a few weeks back. I have a few words in this piece for the Comics Journal, reflecting on his work and mourning his loss.
