As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

The Federal government has attacked Chicago but Chicagoans are doing a great job documenting what is happening. However, I do not feel that there is a solid timeline of key events forming, and so I put one together

Here is a 🧵with details on each, including sourcing and videos. AMA

A timeline I have put together to document key monents in the attack on Chicago:

6/16/2025 : Limited but heavily militarized and anonymized ICE activity
9/19/2025 : Broadview Escalation: 9/22/2025: Broadview: More chemical irritant use:
9/23/2025: Silverio Villegas González Murdered
9/26/2025: Broadview Scrum 1: Vehicular Violence and indiscriminate chemical irritants
9/30/2025: South Shore Raid
10/3/2025: Logan Square Tear Gassed
10/3/2025: Broadview Scrum 2: ISP+ crowd control; Deliberate attack on protesters by ICE while filming for content, Dan Bovino
10/3/2025: Arrested Alderman
10/4/2025: Brighton Park Stand Off
10/10/2025: WGN Producer Aggressively Arrested under suspicious reasons, no charge
10/12/2025: Albany Park Standoff

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

These *men* showed up at this market and grabbed the owner for no reason dressed in plain clothes with no identification.

They threw him to the ground as a Combat Vet shopping there calls the police on them! There was no warrant and he was a citizen.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

Yesterday ICE beat the banana band, broke their instruments, and dragged one away. The clarinetist is still missing.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

The lawyer for Marimar Martinez (the woman shot by CBP on October 3) seems to think the communications that led to Tricia McLaughlin's claims about the shooting might start disappearing -- he's asking for a preservation order.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MOTION FOR A PRESERVATION ORDER
Defendant, Marimar Martinez, by and through her attorneys, Cheronis & Parente LLC,
pursuant to the relevant provisions of Rule 2 and 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, as
well as the Due Process and Effective Assistance of Counsel Clauses of the Fifth and Sixth
Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, respectfully requests that the Court enter a
preservation order for the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to preserve and
maintain any and all records, emails, text messages, documents, notes and other materials related to
the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Ms. Marimar Martinez and the gathering of
information for the October 4, 2025, press release from Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued
by DHS titled “Vehicles Again Used as Weapon in Attack against DHS Law Enforcement, Officers
Forced to Fire Weapon on Armed Woman in Chicago.” In support thereof, Ms. Martinez states as
