Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

Where do we think she stashed the body?

There are whistle package assembly nights all over the city this week. Most also have Amazon wish lists so that you can contribute supplies. The whistles are proving effective in alerting people to either flee if they need to or gather to protect if they have that privilege to do so

The “Catholics” on the SC are not your average Catholics. They are either Opus Dei or another ultra conservative Catholic sect. I am a practicing Catholic from Chicago and I don’t even recognize the ideas that these people preach. My 12 years of Catholic school certainly taught me the opposite

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.

It was a photo op. They knew they wouldn’t be let in. This was their 4th try.

This happened 10/10 in Chicago. A US citizen, not that it should matter, was hit by ICE. So they threatened witnesses with automatic weapons & violently dragged her from her car. We can not allow this to continue @quigley.house.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

ICE GOONS crash into car and then point weapons to kidnap man.

We need to demand that @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov do more than just face time at Broadview. Stop the photo opps and really fight for Chicagoland residents.

I didn’t think resisting tyranny would involve ordering an inflatable chicken outfit, but I guess I really should have known.

How do we hold these thugs responsible for breaking judicial orders? @wgntv.com Are you just going to let them treat your employees like this?

Painful to hear the fear in her voice as she says, "let them know." And as others have noted, this seems to violate Judge Ellis's order issued just yesterday about arresting journalists & also about unnecessary physical force. (See 1(a) and 1(h) of order). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When she came to Chicago, area businesses refused to sell them meals or allow them to use their bathrooms. She went on TV to actually cry about how unkind we are. Chicago is a kind city, but we will take care of our people. Kidnap our people and you can eat warmed up instant ramen.

Loevy claims the defense's own arguments are giving the game away, given the talk over wanting to discourage targeting ICE agents.

"They are targeting people basically to tell them to 'shut up," he says.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation

According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

Exactly. @govpritzker.illinois.gov You told is to stand up. You told us to witness and record. And then you send state troopers to protect ICE. This is wrong

Marie Cummins @mariecummins.bsky.social · 11d

@govpritzker.illinois.gov State police assisting ICE & arresting protesters. You can’t tell us to stand up to the bullies then help the bully knock us back

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 11d

What we just saw: state police not only assisting federal agents with crowd control out here, but also protester arrests.

All morning, this has been a nonviolent demonstration. Have not seen a single crime from this crowd (not that that would excuse the brutality).

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Why are state troopers bring used to protect ICE? YOU told us (multiple times) to record and protest.

border patrol agents are holding a line against protesters side-by-side with broadview police, oak brook police, illinois state police, + the cook county sheriff’s office.

feds made a huge push to clear everyone from harvard street, which ice uses to enter and leave the broadview detention center.

moments ago: pandemonium.

a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random.

leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders.

multiple people detained. no clue how many.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what happened to protest and record? Why are state troopers trying to control your constituents instead of protect them from trigger happy ICE thugs?

Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare.bsky.social · 11d

Out here at Broadview ICE detention center. Illinois state police are doing “crowd control” of the protest and I just saw an individual detained and put into a van that said “Cook County Sheriff” on its side. It drove away with the person inside. Seems like police collaborating with ICE.
