NEW — Chance the Rapper decked out a CTA train with his starry album art and rode with passengers to the South Side.

Later that night, he brought his “And We Back” tour to Northerly Island.

He even displayed a message on stage that got lots of attention: “f—ck ICE.”

🧊 ICE is going after sick or injured patients in Chicago hospitals!

🏥 We need a model citywide policy to protect patients, families, and staff from harassment or unlawful detention + rebuild public trust in our health institutions as safe havens FOR ALL.

Chicago is choosing justice over fear, as it has in the past

In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

A federal judge ordered federal agents last week to issue two warnings before using tear gas.

Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports

Federal agents deployed tear gas after Albany Park residents protested to their attempts to detain a resident of the Northwest Side neighborhood, @vimiller.bsky.social reports for the @chicago.suntimes.com

Feds deploy tear gas in another Chicago neighborhood: 'We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today'

A federal judge’s temporary restraining order requires federal agents to issue two warnings before using riot control weapons such as tear gas. Witnesses says they didn't get any warning.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

#BadBunny’s @SuperBowl selection is not just a cultural milestone, it's a reminder. #PuertoRicans have shaped American music, culture, and identity. Puerto Rican nationalists were active supporters of the Civil Rights movement. Yet they lack full voting rights and statehood.

Republicans are refusing to do their jobs.

Once again, Speaker Johnson canceled votes for Tuesday instead of fixing the health care crisis, swearing in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, or releasing the Epstein files.

It’s clear their priorities are in service to billionaires.

I’m frustrated and angry by ICE raids in our communities — and I know you are, too.

The dangerous escalation of ICE raids affect all of us, as they even arrest US citizens. It’s evil and cruel. It must stop.

WGN journalist Debbie Brockman has been released. Her violent arrest occurred *after* a federal judge barred federal agents from using force or threatening to arrest journalists.
