“By cutting aid for permanent housing by 2/3 next year, the plan risks a sudden end of support… beginning as soon as January. All are disabled — a condition of the aid — and many are 50 or older. The document does not explain how they would find housing.”

Trump Administration to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

Under oath, Gregory Bovino testified that he did not use force against a protester. The government claimed he was assaulted. Video showed the exact opposite. Great details from Jason Meisner on this curtain raiser for tomorrow’s hearing www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/04/i...

Federal judge likely to intervene at Broadview's ICE facility: 'It has really become a prison' Five former detainees on Tuesday described unsanitary conditions inside the Broadview facility. One broke down on the witness stand, telling the judge “it was too much, it was too much.”

'It has really become a prison'

A federal judge says the case has been made for a temporary restraining order governing conditions inside a suburban Chicago ICE facility central to the Trump administration's 'Midway Blitz.'

Expirations and early exits of LIHTC units: Implications for the affordable housing stock - Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is the nation’s largest source of financing for the development and preservation of affordable rental housing. The program provides tax credits to developers ...

Since the LIHTC program was created in 1986, the number of LIHTC units has risen every year as the program has become the major generator of affordable housing in the US.

Because of affordability expiration, however, the number of LIHTC units is expected to begin falling over the next decade.

UPDATE: DHS spokesperson now says “Border Patrol has no reports matching United States citizens taken into custody at 1AM on Sept 30th.”

Audio of OEMC dispatch that I obtained shows Border Patrol called CPD about two U.S. citizens they took into custody, however. What happened to those citizens?
