snapped some photos of this baddie the other day while a chicago finance department worker was booting a car.

this van—which, again, is from the finance department!!—has two license plate readers mounted to its front and 360 degrees of surveillance camera coverage.

For those keeping track:

Since Illinois police forces' "Unified Command" secured the area around the Broadview ICE facility (whose allegedly inhumane conditions are now the subject of an ongoing federal class action) in early October, about 100 people have been arrested while protesting there.

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

More than 200 students and community members are protesting outside of the Morton School District 201 offices on Cermak in Cicero this morning after Morton West HS staff chased away community members sharing know-your-rights flyers on 10/8.

Why is @govpritzker.illinois.gov using serial abuser prison guards to defend an #ice processing facility being illegally used as a detention center; and silence protesters exercising their 1st amendment rights in #broadview, #illinois?
for those unfamiliar with “orange crush,” check out this piece from @bdolinar.bsky.social.

it’s legitimately wild that the state had these guys out doing crowd control.

Community advocates in Cicero tried to join the annual Houbyfest parade today with a banner that read “ICE Out of Cicero: Silencio es complicidad. Solo el pueblo salva el pueblo.” They were intercepted and moved off the parade route by Cicero Police, one of whom was armed with an assault rifle.

Illinois State Police were enraged by one small attempt at a protest march last night (which was marching *away* from the ICE facility, FTR) led by a known local activist who just does that: marches. Never saw any violence on the part of protesters.

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.
Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.
State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

Community members held a vigil in Cicero tonight for those abducted by ICE in recent weeks. After a prayer from a local pastor, the group marched through the parking lot chanting “¡ICE, escucha! ¡Estamos en la lucha!” and “ICE son los ilegales. ICE son los traficantes. ICE son los criminales.”

Much of the crowd has dispersed here after multiple rounds of chemical weapons. ~1/4 of the original protest remains in the lot. Intermittent pepper ball rounds ongoing.

This foam round (??) here went right through this person's guitar.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.
Undocumented father killed by ICE agent in Franklin Park shooting had no criminal background, lawyer says
The undocumented father shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park, Illinois, only had a history of minor traffic violations, not a criminal record, according to his attorney.

Before you comment on anything we report today, please look at this map. Internalize it. Then look at it again.

ICE activity is happening in a ring of fire around the city proper right now, in less dense areas that are heavily disinvested, with few local media to cover quickly developing events.
A visual aid—two of the main sites of DHS/ICE activity OTG in Chicagoland right now are not in Chicago proper*, the end

Chicagoans should expect a fed tactical team presence here that looks a *lot* like what we already experience from CPD: lots of investigatory stops, legal or not, probably some jump outs leading to car crashes (like half a dozen in DC so far?). It's not unfamiliar. But it will be amplified.

Maybe instead of trying to convince millions of lefties to vote for a candidate with bad policy positions maybe instead that one candidate could adopt better policy positions. Just a thought... Or you know we could just cry about it later
