This holiday season, ICE and CBP continue to terrorize our communities. Thousands of families are missing parents and loved ones as a result of ongoing enforcement activity. There will be no celebrations — and for many, not enough food on the table or medications that are urgently needed. Every dollar you give goes directly to immigrant and migrant families who have had a loved one detained or who are too afraid to leave their home. Let’s show up for one another this December. Donate to the mutual aid fund today. donorbox.org/mutualaid2025

Agentes federales han comparecido repetidamente ante un tribunal de Chicago para explicar el uso excesivo de la fuerza contra periodistas y manifestantes.

EL JUEZ TAMBIÉN SEÑALÓ QUE EL COMANDANTE DE LA PATRULLA FRONTERIZA, GREGORY BOVINO, MINTIÓ REPETIDAMENTE EN SU DECLARACIÓN. "La Jueza Ellis no solo denunció las tácticas represivas de la administración Trump, sino que también señaló que ve a Chicago como un "lugar vibrante, rebosante de vitalidad y esperanza".

Text graphic that reads: Federal agents have repeatedly been called into court in Chicago to explain their excessive use of force against journalists and protesters. The latest hearing was Thursday, November 6th. Judge Ellis found "the government's evidence to be simply not credible." The Judge also noted that Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino lied repeatedly in his deposition. "Judge Ellis not only denounced the Trump administration's heavy-handed tactics, but also noted that she sees Chicago as a 'vibrant place, brimming with vitality and hope.'"
