Block Club Chicago, News Organizations Sue Feds Over First Amendment Violations Four of our journalists have been shot with pepper-spray bullets and tear-gassed while covering protests outside the Broadview ICE facility. A judge heard arguments at an emergency hearing Monday.

@blockclubchi.bsky.social, our nonprofit newsroom, is suing the federal government after 4 of our journalists were shot w/ pepper-spray bullets & tear-gassed by federal agents at Broadview.

Here's why we're defending our First Amendment right to report — and your right to know:

Newsom says he’s on the verge of quitting the National Govs Association: “should not be difficult … regardless of partisan affiliation, to agree that politicizing our states’ Natl Guard and deploying… over the objections of the home-state Governor,harms the interests of states”

🚨 ICE said Marimar Martinez “rammed their vehicles.”

Bodycam footage says otherwise.

It shows an ICE agent ram his own vehicle into hers, sneer “Do something, bitch,” and then shoot her.

We can never believe anything ICE accuses anyone of.

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Unbelievable stupidities. How the press can rise to the moment.
