The lawsuit claims federal agents have indiscriminately used excessive force and have “randomly singled out” reporters and protesters with chemical agents during recurring protests outside the ICE Broadview facility.

Judge rules federal agents can't deploy chemical irritants at journalists, protesters who don't pose threats
The temporary ruling stems from a lawsuit filed this week by news organizations, unions, independent journalists and protesters against the Department of Homeland Security following tense interactions outside of the ICE processing facility in suburban Broadview.

When a Guardian reporter pointed out on social media that the image was not a genuine photograph of the generally small and tame protests outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Portland, the Oregon Republican Party’s X account replied: “We’re not reporters, just bad memers.
The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Judge puts off ruling in Illinois v. Trump for 3 days.
No immediate temporary restraining order, as Illinois sought.
So will the Texas National Guard still come to Illinois today, as planned — even with this case pending?

Police violence is part of our national fabric. You will not find us diminishing that. It's hard to believe any cops could be worse than a department who ran a torture black site. But DHS is entirely unleashed and unaccountable. They will kill more people by the end of this month if not stopped.

KBJ observed in the universal injunction case that the government’s arguments amounted to a “catch-me-if-you-can” legal regime.
It’s a useful frame for understanding the administration’s general approach to legal compliance.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov this is not at all in line with what you have been saying. Explain and get the police either completely out of there, or to protect us, not the jack-booted federal agents!
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.
