Court back in session for a restraining order hearing on the class action alleging inhumane conditions at the Broadview ICE facility.
Class rep Pablo Moreno González still on the stand for cross-examination by the govt's legal team.

How did he feel being held at Broadview, the plaintiff atty asks.
"Well I felt bad," Moreno González responds.
He says, at the atty's asking, that he understands he is a class rep and can serve to represent other people held at Broadview.
That's all the plaintiff atty has. Court taking a break.

Agustin Zamacona, who speaks and reads English, further says an agent in Broadview tried to get him to sign a self-deportation form by telling him it was court paperwork.
"I saw they weren't court papers, they were for deportation, so I didn't sign it," he says.

i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier).
People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

Update: District Judge Robert Gettleman told the govt to return the immigration detainee plaintiffs in this lawsuit to IL by 4pm yesterday, as they had already been moved out of state.
I finally got word the plaintiffs were back in IL at ~7:45 am. A hearing in the case is set for 9:30 am today.

West Ridge this morning, 11:37am—
Neighbors witnessed Border Patrol agents arresting a man who's been building a new staircase on their building.
"Wait, this is private property," the woman recording says.
"No, it's not," the agent replies, covering his face with his jacket.
