"What we are seeing is a clear escalation of ICE agents choosing to abuse individuals physically and abuse their constitutional rights," says Chicago Alderperson @jessiefuentes.bsky.social after being detained by ICE herself for defending the rights of a detained, injured constituent. #Velshi

Chicago Alderperson handcuffed by federal agents speaks out as ICE escalates tactics

Since returning to office, President Trump has sought to reshape Immigration and Customs Enforcement to fit his mass deportation agenda. ICE insists agents use a “minimal amount of force” when making arrests, but video footage shows otherwise. Now with Trump ordering federal deployments into Chicago against the wishes of local officials, Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes says, “This is not about safety or security. This is about sowing division. This is about control.”

Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

More votes are expected today, and your senators need to hear from you. Encourage Democrats to keep fighting: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Another loss in court for Trump- a judge issued a temporary restraining order saying he can’t send national guard from any state to Oregon.

Let’s do Illinois next please!

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

They're going after journalists. On Sunday near the Broadview IL ICE facility, an ICE agent shot a pepper ball at the truck being driven by CBS reporter Asal Rezaei, and chemical agents entered an open window, engulfing her.

CBS News @cbsnews.com · 10d

The Village of Broadview in Illinois said they've launched a criminal investigation after a CBS News Chicago reporter had a projectile fired at her vehicle by an ICE agent late Sunday morning.

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.
