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.

Pepper-sprayed Berwyn family rattled after getting caught up in federal β€˜blitz’
YouTube video by Chicago Tribune Pepper-sprayed Berwyn family rattled after getting caught up in federal β€˜blitz’

A baby was pepper-sprayed by CPB here in Chicago this weekend. A BABY. DHS says it never happened but here's the video evidence. It shows: "a masked, helmeted man pointing a pepper-spray gun through his open window and firing into the car."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Pepper-sprayed Berwyn family rattled after getting caught up in federal blitz Southwest Side politicians condemned Saturday’s pepper spraying and the federal sweep of Little Village as β€œstate-sponsored terrorism” at a news conference Sunday.

"... a masked, helmeted man pointing a pepper-spray gun through his open window and firing into the car. A wave of a yellow-orange cloudy substance hits Veraza, 25, in the face. Herrera, 24, turned around to the backseat and saw their baby girl, Arinna Sofia, with her eyes screwed shut." #chicago

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order limits how and when feds can use gas in the Chicago area.

It restricts the use of gas in "residential or commercial areas" that could risk injury to a plaintiff class member "who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to another person"

even this response gives him too much credit. Why should anyone care what he thinks in the first place? He has a clear biased interest toward expanding energy consumption to fuel microsoft data centers and as a billionaire he's clearly biased against sound environmental stewardship.

Musk Wins $1 Trillion Pay Package, Creating Split Screen on Wealth in America

It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.
