Kidnappings have slowed with CBP’s ramp-down, but rapid response, patrols, whistles, etc. all formed even before Border Patrol arrived.
Expect we’re going to see a return to quick abductions of people they’ve targeted and probably some opportunistically, when people are out during mild weather.

Greg Bovino may have moved on to Charlotte, but federal immigration agents maintain a presence in the Chicago area.
Northwest Side Rapid Response has confirmed agents detained at least one person around 9:45 this morning off Kedzie and Wabansia.

It takes years of public meetings and debate for citizens to get a sparse few concrete barriers to protect cyclists, but it can be done on a whim to protect state sponsored torturers.
More concrete barriers are being added on Beach Street outside the ICE processing center in suburban Broadview after a clash between protesters and agents led to at least 21 arrests and four law enforcement officers injured.

This camp is in El Paso. This is where today’s flight from Gary just landed. It was carrying detainees from ICE’s detention facility in Broadview.
All of DHS’s denials in this story about inhumane conditions and lack of access to attorneys are the same false claims they made about Broadview.

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation.
Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Bovino left LA to come to Chicago and it's not like LA saw immigration operations stop - just less showboating from his crew. So even if these circulating rumors over the last week turn out real, I'm pessimistic about how much change to expect on the ground.

This is pretty much how all law enforcement operate—from CPD to ICE.
In 1893 Chicago police arrested a man for murder, starved him for four days, then gave him a bottle of whiskey. Once he was drunk they gave him an “alibi” form to sign. He was drunk and illiterate & didn’t know he was signing a confession. He was hanged. This is pretty much how Broadview operates.

Getting new details on this now:
As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.
