I'm furious and flummoxed.

Bringing in your worst reliever in a save situation??

Dave Roberts: not a good manager

This is in Broadview, not Chicago

Broadview, again, is a *western* suburb of Chicago

You are spreading misinformation and making my already incredibly hard job even harder if you don't get this right

I'm going to die on this hill

Attacks and targeting of journalists by ICE must stop immediately! The Board of Directors of the Chicago Headline Club condemns the targeting of journalists, reporters and photographers covering protests outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and other federal agencies. The Headline Club is calling for ICE, Customs and Border Protection and others assigned to Operation Midway Blitz to stop this practice immediately. The Headline Club is aware of incidents of journalists being shot intentionally with bean bags, chemical munitions and at least one working journalist being taken into custody on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025. Journalists have a constitutionally-protected right to cover stories as afforded by the First Amendment. No federal or state agency should interfere with that right either by threats or action taken against working journalists. The Headline Club demands that Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Board Patrol Commander of Operations At Large Gregory Bovino take immediate action to ensure journalists are not targeted by officers of ICE or the Department of Homeland Security. Respectfully, The Chicago Headline Club Board of Directors

NEW: The Chicago Headline Club — the local chapter of the @spj-posts.bsky.social — has released a statement condemning ICE attacks on reporters.

In recent days, ICE has shot journalists in the face with pepper balls, assaulted journalists, and detained a reporter in Chicago.

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"

ICE admits it’s doing racial profiling in downtown Chicago: “Then obviously the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look, how do they look compare to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.”

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It's a crime that Kershaw's final regular season home start is on Apple TV tonight.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

A sad little brown bag on a counter in a hotel lobby

Hello, I didn’t check the delivery address when I ordered some Chipotle delivery just now so if you are in Chicago and would like a chicken burrito go to:

The Chicago Hotel Ambassador

Chicago, IL 60610

It’s at the front desk. Enjoy!

Perhaps a good time for journalists to re-examine their use of the word "crackdown" in stories.

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

Supreme Court upholds 'roving patrols' for immigration arrests in Los Angeles The Supreme Court says immigration agents may stop and question people they suspect are here illegally based on little more than working at a car wash, speaking Spanish or having brown skin.

"Half the population” of greater Los Angeles "now meet the government’s criteria for reasonable suspicion," in the wake of today's 6-3 SCOTUS ruling.

Trump wants to make war on Chicago. He picked the wrong fight President Trump's stunning online threat against America's third-largest city will test the power of the resistance.

It's getting harder to shock America, but Trump managed this weekend with a crude, fiery threat to wage war on Chicago

But a massive street protest Saturday, backed by a strong governor, shows Chicago isn't having it

Did Trump pick the wrong fight? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

This was the most Dodger way to lose.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
