In NYC, criminals posing as ICE agents tied up a restaurant worker and bagged their head.

Trump’s policy of militarized, masked raids doesn’t stop crime. It encourages it.

Real ICE agents must identify themselves and stop turning law enforcement into a tool of fear. Public safety isn’t a costume.

BREAKING: Federal agents fired tear gas at a crowd during an aggressive raid in Little Village with no warning, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez told @wttw.bsky.social.
If agents deployed tear gas without a warning, that would violate an order issued by a federal judge two weeks ago.

The Trump administration is planning to use military bases across the country to detain our immigrant neighbors and loved ones.

Tell your members of Congress to stop ICE’s cruel, abusive mass detention machine NOW.
Shut Down the ICE Detention Machine
Immigrant detention is inhumane, arbitrary, and rife with abuse. Take action to shut down ICE's supercharged detention machine now.

Families are feeling the squeeze. Energy prices are up, & this should be the moment to double down on affordable, proven solutions, not pull the plug. Ending grants would break promises, waste taxpayer dollars, & force some families to choose between paying the electric bill or feed their families
Slashing $7B in Solar for All grants is a setback to working families and our clean energy future.

States have already invested. Communities are counting on it. Pulling funding now wastes taxpayer dollars and forces families to choose between basic needs. bit.ly/40XqRlP

“All we want to show is that everybody’s equal here and we love everybody, and that this is our community,” Berwyn Mayor Robert Lovero said. “We all need to get together no matter what.”
On a smaller scale but with big heart, Berwyn Pride Walk celebrates neighborhood diversity
The western suburb held its Pride event Sunday, with some lauding its intimacy and warmth compared to the bigger Chicago event Sunday. Many had praise for the community for taking steps to be more inclusive of its predominantly Latino population.
