Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Gov. Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city to try and intimidate his political rivals. This is about Trump searching for ways to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections

Are reporters asking why only cities with Democratic Governors and Democratic Mayors are being invaded?

Meteorologists Say the National Weather Service Did Its Job in Texas DOGE cut hundreds of jobs at the NWS, but experts who spoke to WIRED say the agency accurately predicted the flood risk in Texas.

NEW: in the wake of devastating floods in tx, some officials say NWS forecasts weren't sufficient enough to warn them, while others are warning that DOGE cuts may have made predictions less accurate.

meteorologists told me: NWS did a solid job with the forecasts around this storm

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.

This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.

ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

The cities ICE is choosing aren’t random — they are cities with a long legacy of resistance against injustice. They are, much like the millions of immigrants living in this country, scapegoats for what’s to come. They’re pretexts for a massive escalation of violence.

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

And for the record, fighting against the unjust kidnapping of our neighbors and loved ones is actually exactly where those we elected should be.

Our responsibility in this moment is to fight bystander effect, to ensure the rage people feel has an effective place to go, and that all the people in power responsible for the fear and violence being instilled in our cities and hometowns are named and blamed and held to count.

What Trump and his Cabinet of goons don’t realize is that there’s a majority of every day people who think masked men using physical violence and ripping their neighbors away from their communities, off job sites and from workplaces they frequent, is an abomination.

As someone who follows tornado coverage a lot…. we are already seeing the ramifications of the dismantling of institutions like the National Weather Service by Musk + the Trump admin: people die when they don’t have any warning about tornadoes !!!
