Busy day for ICE across Chicagoland. Reports of encounters with agents across the heavily Latine Chicago neighborhoods of Hermosa and Austin, and in the suburbs of Wheeling and Naperville. Rapid responders report at least 5 people detained this morning in Naperville; 1 person detained in Austin.

Well that's reassuring

Hey all, please help a Chicago photojournalist help a friend and community member whose family is going through hell because of ICE. These days more than ever, we're all we've got.

That's the clinic where I escort! And for Chicago people, that's the Nini's Deli guy. He joined an evangelical church, became "ex-gay" and now spends his time and money harassing people getting healthcare

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.

Congress must push back against our inhumane immigration tactics.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Excited to announce my candidacy for senate as a blue-collar white man!

Earlier this week, Intelligencer ran a piece called "ICE Won." We definitely don't agree with the title, but its gist—that the normalization of federal police violence is accelerating—is proving accurate. ICE arrests roughly doubled in Chicagoland in June over May. Some more thoughts on that:

Oh you mean it wasn't a mandate to erase any cultural progress of the last three decades? Who could have predicted!

Fair is closed.

Multiple rapid response groups have reported a heavy ICE presence on Chicago's west side today, esp. in the heavily Latine neighborhoods of Humboldt Park, Hermosa and Belmont Cragin. Video shared to social media around 11:15 a.m. shows agents present just east of Grand & Laramie.

Happening now in Broadview, outside Chicago, about four dozen protesters have taken the southbound lanes of 25th Ave. This is between the two streets to access the ICE detention facility. Police here: Broadview, Maywood, Bellwood, Hillside, and Cook County Sheriff. @domguan.bsky.social with more:

Good afternoon from the ICE facility at Broadview, Illinois, where protesters are preparing for their weekly Saturday demonstration. Passing cars coming off I-290 are greeted by protesters with megaphones. Sign: “PRITZKER IS WEAK ON ICE”
