❗ Illinoisans, we need our Democratic senators Dick Durbin & Tammy Duckworth to HOLD THEIR GROUND. Dems must continue opposing ANY budget deal that lets Trump's healthcare cuts take effect or hands him a blank check to keep terrorizing our communities.

Federal agents continue terrorizing Back of the Yards, Broadview mayor and police chief held a presser, and neighbors in South Shore late night were startled awake by a raid on an apartment with stun grenades.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago.

Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor.

Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.
