ICE official defends agency's tactics amid fallout from raid on wrong home in Portland, Oregon In footage shared widely on social media last week, federal immigration agents​ were seen breaking into a home Portland, Oregon β€” but the person they were looking for doesn't live there.

Federal agents raided the WRONG HOME in Portlandβ€”no warrant, guns drawn on a family with a baby. ICE still arrested 2 people after realizing the mistake. ICE official on the aggressive tactics: "If people interpret that as aggressive, so be it."

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽

Two masked feds in an SUV in my neighborhood.

Feds on my block this afternoon, in suburban Chicago. 4-5 SUVs, helicopter overhead. They had CBP markings on their vests and claimed to be looking for an escaped β€œcartel member” but had time to stop and tell me I was supporting criminals by telling them to go fuck off. 1/

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

(shared with permission) ICE/CBP has been active on Chicago's northwest side this morningβ€”and also met with rapid responders.

Agents reportedly abducted one man from this Dunkin at Belmont and Milwaukee around 9:30am before speeding off.

In our holding cell last night, there were 7 white men, two Black men, and one trans woman. In the women’s cell there was one woman.

7 protesters were released last night. You already know which ones those were and which ones were shackled and transferred to an unknown location.

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.

The following statement ICE Action can be attributed to the Village of Broadview:

β€œIn retaliation for the Village of Broadview yesterday calling on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to β€œstop making war on our community”, ICE agents this morning informed the Broadview Police Department that there will be β€œa sh*t show” in Broadview today.

ICE agents told the BFD that they will be launching enforcement action throughout all of Broadview throughout the day. Additionally, ICE informed BPD officials that ICE agents will be again deploying chemical arms, such as tear gas, pepper spray, etc. against American citizens, our residents, and our first responders.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson is urging Broadview residents to take all necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families in order to stay out of harm’s way.

Let’s be clear.

ICE is seeking to intimidate the Village of Broadview because we dared exercise our 1st Amendment constitutional rights calling for an end to their war on Broadview. We will not be intimidated. We are Broadview strong.”

Bystanders chased off ICE agents today in one location in Chicagoland.

It was a brutal day in Chicagoland with a widely cast net of quick snatch and grab operations. Rapid response teams and reporters are stretched thin. But this story broke through as a success story for the good guys!

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.

The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be β€œeditors” and β€œfactchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Update from outside Broadview ICE facility in Chicagolandβ€”

Even after feds killed a man a few towns away today, a small group remain to finish their 7am-7pm protest.

SRT takes the dwindling numbers as an opportunity to unleash less lethals on a protester with a mobility aid sitting on the ground.
