Tribune editorial board you need to shut the fuck up honey

Texas National Guard arrives in the Chicago area Texas National Guard members have arrived in Illinois. City and state officials say Donald Trump is using them as “political props” in Chicago.

The Texas National Guard has arrived in the Chicago area despite the repeated objections of Illinois officials.

I agree. We need to start appropriately identifying these as extrajudicial killings and murders by agents for the state.

LIVE: Illinois' JD Pritzker on Trump's use of National Guard YouTube video by Reuters

If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.

It is sort of fascinating to watch these people in power who have had to punt the question of how police power works down the road realize suddenly they have no and have never had control over the police power and that matters right now

I'm genuinely starting to think that the people who say they want to see American's really fight back are really saying they want a specific kind of visible, stereotypical depiction of protest, and have zero zero tolerance for the kind of groundwork it takes to make change happen.

“Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over & shooting the woman five times.”

DHS has lied, a lot, about every act of violence.

2. ICE scope will only ever expand (and never get un-murky) if court challenges are not brought. Sure, the vast majority of those will be brought by private civil actions, but no private citizen can collect and secure evidence like CPD can, and has every right to.

Chicago Journalists, Protesters Suing Trump Administration Over Alleged First Amendment Violations at Broadview ICE Facility The Chicago Headline Club, Chicago Newspaper Guild Local 34071, Block Club Chicago and other media groups filed the suit alongside protesters in federal court alleging their First Amendment rights hav...

Chicago-area journalists and protesters are suing the Trump administration, claiming ICE agents have engaged in a “pattern of extreme brutality” they say is a “concerted and ongoing effort to silence the press and civilians” outside the agency’s Broadview processing facility.

The courts are literally failing us and they take a long time to get to a result even in cases where there is some minimal relief and many people are hurt until and after that point bc Trump is ignoring Laws, why do you think this is the best use of time that makes zero sense to me

Dems and elected "progressives" are more interested in policing their left flank than to displease their moneyed donors tho so this may stand at Could unless they feel pressure from a larger proportion of their voters!

If He Wanted To He Would

You're telling me a triple bottomed these lines?

this seems like another opportunity for govt to find red tape before things get worse

Some additional inspections required. A new zoning category. Sudden roadwork

Ok I've dropped my mom at ORD and read this article I'm back to loving my people 💯 lmao

If it's really an invasion (and it is) then maybe we need to do something beyond just calling it what it is. Close the borders? Deploy Illinois Guard to protect us? Some kind of economic sanctions against Texas or the US?

You said you would protect your people. It's time for action.

In case you're wondering whether the TRUST Act will protect anyone: Border patrol just attacked press and protesters inside ISP's designated "free speech zone" and the state police reacted by immediately establishing a protective perimeter for the feds

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Happy first day of SCOTUS 2025 term to those who malign. Up for demolition incl: Voting Rights Act, birthright citizenship, campaign fundraising limitations, federal agency leadership independence

TY and also mostly I didn't do a good job of conveying how hilarious it is to feel negatively about immigrants (ok just one, my mom) while out here putting my body on the line defending immigrants lmaooo but I thank you ❤️❤️🙏🏽

I humbly request my cousins to stop getting married or having ceremonies for their normie lives in Chicago pls and ty

Having to defend my value and humanity as a queer person to my mother while DHS kidnaps neighbors is very strange! She keeps being like 'why don't you go work for a tech startup instead of whatever dumb thing you think is important at your job which I think is worthless'

Kilmar Abrego Garcia wins request for hearing on whether smuggling charges are illegally ‘vindictive’ Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case has become a proxy for the partisan struggle over President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration policy and mass deportation agenda.

A federal judge has concluded that the Department of Justice’s prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia on human smuggling charges may be an illegal retaliation after he successfully sued the Trump administration over his deportation to El Salvador.

I don’t see any reason to believe that they won’t keep going bigger, harder, more violent until they finally cross some line. I guess that line wasn’t shooting & killing an immigrant in the street. Idk what it will be. I just know each week, they keep escalating.

I did wonder how long it'd take for the 'local cops keep us safe and ICE and CPD aren't the same' logic NPIC groups and govts have been peddling to be exposed. Law enforcement supremacy remains the central contradiction, hopefully everyones noncooperation "new strategy" tactics reckon with this 🤷🏽

They don’t want you to compare them to the Gestapo, but this is how they act. I’ve seen this agent get violent a few times now. I believe he’s also the agent who has been spotted driving an ICE vehicle with a Mexican flag on the hood.
