Reminder that this is the site of one of the deaths that took place during a raid. In fleeing, a man ran onto the nearby 210 Freeway and was struck.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

How many times have we heard a judge find the government's evidence "not credible," "untethered" to reality? At this point, we need a tracker!
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.
