Ellis moves on to the issue of constraining how feds can riot control weapons - there will be more discussion tomorrow, and govt. atty again has objections, but she says her "inclination" is to consider these segments of the proposed restraining order as unproblematic.

Ellia further breaches that feds have turned chemical weapons on unarmed press and protestors, says "we have to live in reality."

"They're responding to being attacked," defense attorney says of the federal agents in response.

Sighs in the courtroom.

Kristi Noem inside the ICE facility at 1930 Beach St. in Broadview, IL. She is standing near a white man, smiling at a desk with a computer monitor and printer. Behind her is a cell door with a man looking out a narrow slit window. Next to him, three or four other men are seen through a larger window in the cell. Behind the white man are two upside down "demo bags" taped up over the windows to another cell.

This is from a video on X, showing inside the Broadview ICE facility when Noem was in town on Fri.

For context, she's in the central room with 15 workstations setup to process detained individuals, whether they were arrested by immigration enforcement or at protests.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Did ICE Really Zip-Tie Children in a Chicago Apartment Raid? The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is aggressively escalating.

'Neighbor Eboni Watson told ABC7 that she saw agents detain and zip-tie children. “They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. ,(1/2)

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

One source for the burning donut shop photo is referenced in Politico article of 1/25/25

A Budget truck with about five armed men seen inside. It's dark out and the taillights are lit. The photo is attributed to KT O'Loughin.

Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

That man sitting behind the desk talking to reporters raped children And that woman sitting in a prison in Texas provided children to rape.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

If you do a reverse Google image search you will see the photo was on the internet 3 months ago. There was a thread on Facebook with a variety of sources mentioned for the photo but no actual links or verification were provided at the time I was reading the thread.

This is close to outright treason. Saying you're going to end rule of law in America if a judge doesn't rule your way is a serious threat against the US.

The DNC and Democrats getting lobbyist money from pharmaceutical and health “insurance” corporations did battle (secretly) against Medicare for All - they don’t get a pass on M4A

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

"I was talking to [my client detained in the Broadview, IL facility], and his tone changed, and someone asked him who he was talking to,” [Attorney] Herrera said. “And he said, ‘a lawyer.’ And then he told me later that he was made to get off the phone.”
