Fuck. ICE kidnapped someone out of my old laundromat this afternoon. Video is on the neighborhood Facebook group. It's the laundromat at the southeast corner of Clark and Albion, in the strip mall with the Subway the nail salon and the Peruvian restaurant

I've got some mobility issues and had a lot trouble downtown at the last No Kings event so I'm going to have to do Evanston this time.

I don't have a car either, but I've worked Renaissance Faires for years so I would totally ride the 147 in a chicken suit

I'm looking at an inflatable rubber chicken one myself. Advantage of that one is that keeps the face clear so I can actually see. I've ordered a bunch of kazoos suitable for following ice goons marching around downtown.

I have serious asthma and the moment anything like to your gas comes out, I become an immediate problem that someone has to deal with and that's not cool. So I'm keeping my wheezy little ass out of the way for now

Perry: The federal government is "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

That's it. Thanks again for following.

If it weren't for the tear gas I'd be there. I can get an inflatable rubber chicken costume for under $35

I'm currently sourcing something similar for Chicago events. So far I'm leaning toward the giant rubber chicken costume

There is no West Loop Elementary school, and this appears to be video from a detention near the University of Chicago yesterday. Probably best to stick with Chicago sources for Chicago stories

Super proud of Rogers Park today in the face of La Migra. Folks are really showing up.
A bunch of people with phones and whistles covering the weekly Care For Real food distribution. Someone is giving out whistles and zines at the corner where they tried to grab the tamale guy this morning.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a TRO in the Northern District of Illinois (including Chicago and the Broadview ICE facility), providing protections for protesters and journalists covering the protests.

Some of the key elements:

1. It is hereby ORDERED that Defendants,' their officers, agents, assigns, and all
persons acting in concert with them (hereafter referred to as "Federal Agents"), are temporarily ENJOINED in this judicial district from:
Dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, threatening or using physical
force against any person whom they know or reasonably should know is a Journalist, unless
Defendants have probable cause to believe that the individual has committed a crime.
Defendants may order a Journalist to change location to avoid disrupting law enforcement,
' President Trump, one of the named Defendants, is not included in this Order.

Case: 1:25-cv-12173 Document #: 42 Filed: 10/09/25 Page 2 of 6 PagelD #:836
as long as the Journalist has an objectively reasonable time to comply and an objectively
reasonable opportunity to report and observe;

b. Issuing a crowd dispersal order requiring any person to leave a public place
that they lawfully have a right to be, unless dispersal is justified by exigent circumstances as defined by Department of Homeland Security Use of Force Policy (updated Feb. 6,
2023), Sections III.F and XII.E;
С.
For purposes of this Order, a crowd dispersal order is a lawful command
given by a Federal Agent for all persons to leave a designated area when three or more persons are committing acts of disorderly conduct that are likely to cause substantial harm in the immediate vicinity;
d. Using riot control weapons including kinetic impact projectiles (KIPs), Compressed Air Launchers (e.g., PIS and FN303), Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Spray, CS gas, CN gas, or other chemical irritants, 40 mm Munitions Launchers, less-lethal shotguns,

To facilitate the Defendants' identification of Journalists protected under
this Order, the following are examples of indicia of being a Journalist: visual identification as a member of the press, such as by carrying a professional press pass, badge or credentials; wearing distinctive clothing or patches that identify the wearer as a member of the press; or carrying professional gear such as professional photographic or videography

to be considered a Journalist under this Order. Defendants shall not be liable for unintentional violations of this Order in the case of an individual who does not wear a press pass, badge, or other official press credential, professional gear, or distinctive clothing that identifies the person as a member of the press.
