ICE now very literally at war with Presbyterians

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 13h

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

ICE takes advantage of the lower population density & ability to go in quickly & grab someone, sometimes without anyone noticing. They’ve been targeting the western suburbs for a while. Last week or so they’ve increasingly targeted the NW suburbs

ICE is not just in Broadview and Chicago. We have reports, along with some video, of ICE agents operating in Niles, Glenview, and Park Ridge.

Don't have another platform move in me. I wiped my Twitters, deleted Facebook, deactivated Linkedin, never really used Instagram. Pinterest I have but it's full of AI slop now.

If this jig is up I'll tell folks I like my real name, shake hands & schedule a bar crawl together sometime before we die.
