In Portland Oregon tonight, the beginning of Kamryn Walks video reporting showed lots of intense MAGA TPUSA violent activity then when 'ICE' emerged, there were a lot of brown shirts, not the 'normal' dark blue ICE uniforms & lots of smoke (&gas) 'flash bang' incendiaries thrown by feds into crowd.🤦

Feds on the roof just threw teargas within a couple feet of me. Loud explosion. They seemingly threw it because a couple people were sitting on the little wall in front of the facility.

Flashbangs also thrown out possibly. One person filming had their phone shot.

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Had dinner tonight with a friend who’s a middle school teacher in the southwest. They told me schools now have trainings for when ICE agents sweep through schools to take children, and it’s worse than active shooter trainings, because it’s the government kidnapping children.

This is where we are.

You've got to see the size of the crowd that accompanied them. Like an entire church congregation had dumped out onto the street. Truly, it was hundreds of people.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 21h

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

when we talk about political theatre sometimes being Good, Actually™️, this is what we mean. the trads are the reason Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament came back in fashion in the youth ministry world (where I learned about it). they take it REALLY seriously. this priest weaponized that so adroitly

this is more than just marching in full regalia to Broadview and praying outside of it

this is very deftly trapping ICE into the position of having to literally - LITERALLY, to them - turn Christ away from the door

any Catholic ICE officer was probably shook, I’m really not exaggerating

the monstrance doesn’t leave the church very often and is handled with incredible reverence and care. kid altar servers are NOT allowed to touch it, I vividly recall. usually only the priest carries it out and puts it back. if a priest is holding a monstrance he is saying Jesus is PHYSICALLY here

three people were actually arrested by the cook county sheriff’s office, according to an updated email they sent out.

most of the 15 are charged with resisting arrest/obstruction of justice/disobeying a police officer.

these kinds of charges from protests are frequently dropped bc they’re bogus.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.
