The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility.

Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😡

Take that Paramount! Stephen Colbert wins best variety talk series at #Emmys weeks after CBS canceled show. "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it...my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately."

Breaking: Kilmar Abrego García has just been detained by ICE after arriving at the agency's Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in, according to his attorney.

"The only reason to take him into detention was to punish him."

Literally a police state.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, or a veteran, or that I identified who I was. They ignored everything I said, and they just they broke my window and they dragged me out. I let them know that I was a veteran and I wasn't doing anything wrong, that I'm just trying to get to work

BREAKING: A class-action lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges that people held at the immigrant-detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" are being prevented from having access to lawyers and "effectively have no way to contest their detention."

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

But until it is, has anyone considered what would happen if a hurricane struck those flimsy tents.
