To be absolutely clear: if ICE or DHS says something happened, it almost certainly didn't happen.

And even if it did, at this point, the burden is on them to produce evidence. Anybody who gives them even the least benefit of the doubt hasn't been paying attention.

this part.

the feds are *already* here. they’ve *been* here, tear-gassing neighborhoods, abducting people from their cars and homes with helicopters and bearcats, beating and arresting protesters.

so far, the state’s response has been to just let them do it—and to send in the police to help them.

Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floof @evanbernick.bsky.social · 2d

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

You can see how their cameramen document their violence. This is about content creation. For the last one, I had to search my files for a photo of this moment that didn't include the face of a pained or screaming protester, but for clarity: those are tackled human beings on the ground.

DHS cameramen film their assault on tackled protesters.

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122
(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831
Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

YOUR STATE TROOPERS ARE HELPING ICE IN BROADVIEW YOU DIPSHIT, STOP THROWING CHEAP SHOTS AT THE CHEETO YAHTZEE AND DO SOMETHING

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage.

It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

CTA Red Line Extension funding frozen as Trump administration withholds $2.1 billion from Chicago

Two major Chicago transit projects are in jeopardy after the White House froze $2.1 billion in federal funding over an investigation into racial preferences in contracting.

border patrol agents are holding a line against protesters side-by-side with broadview police, oak brook police, illinois state police, + the cook county sheriff’s office.

feds made a huge push to clear everyone from harvard street, which ice uses to enter and leave the broadview detention center.

pritzker said i heard your cries and give you more surveillance!

multiple new cameras today that appear to belong to state police/cook county sheriffs.

that’s in addition to the cameras, helicopters, and drones that the feds are already using to surveil protesters.

a state police officer stands in a parking lot. he’s holding a large stick with an iphone at the top of it that is presumably recording the crowd.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

Good questions here. @govpritzker.illinois.gov we look forward to seeing you WALK YOUR TALK.

Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social · 5d

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?
