Evanston community clashes with federal immigration authorities after car crash. Residents detained, pepper spray used. Mayor demands review.
Here's an accurate account of Friday's events in Evanston, with details from one detainee of agents' behavior during and after the incident & extended/disturbing video. NY Times coverage got it wrong & framed with CBP/DHS propaganda.

This happened a few blocks from my home. The ICE vehicle slammed on the brakes, causing the vehicle behind it to run into them. The agents then pulled two people out of that car, violently threw them on the ground and detained them. This woman was threatened for trying to talk to the detained woman.

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"
