Heyo! I have just arrived in front of Zellerbach Hall at the University of California, #Berkeley where hundreds of people have gathered to protest Turning Point USA's final your stop tonight.

An arrest of some sort is happening it appears. No idea why. The crowd is irate.

'Yo tengo papeles': Teacher detained by immigration agents in North Center day care Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.

At a Wednesday evening rally, 47th Ward Ald Matt Martin said parents from the school arranged legal rep for Ms. Diana, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“There cannot be a reformist mindset for this agency... We need to call for the abolition of ICE," said State Sen. Mike Simmons.

In Belmont Cragin on Chicago's northwest side this morning, a rally is opening in support of day laborers outside the Armitage/Cicero Home Depot.

Activists are calling out the corporation for continuing to allow ICE and Border Patrol to stalk and attack immigrants in their parking lots.

Ah gotcha 🐦

in 2020 the primary "antifa safehouse" was a 7/11 near the Justice Center staffed by some dudes who would pull people in off the street when they were running from gas clouds and lock the doors

shout out to those kings wherever they are

i would fucking annihilate a plate of these right now ngl

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

MovieBob?

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Say it when your voice shakes. Thank you to whoever this woman is for being courageous. 🫶🏽

Here’s three of them at the ice cream store at DC Union Station today

State police and Broadview cops just arrested two more protesters. They violently yanked this person over the cement barricades (clipped bc they also then had this person's pants yanked down briefly).

Pritzker keeps claiming that these police are there to protect the protesters when the reality is the police and the federal agents are working in concert to beat protesters for expressing their First Amendment rights

As ISP deals with zip tied protesters on the curb, masked feds and ICE agents with pepper ball guns at the ready look on outside the detention center.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

Chief Mills told people they could go ahead and protest in the barricaded zone. Activists and press entered the street instead. Facing off with ISP and Broadview PD now.

Trump Declares War on America Watch now | Trump and Hegseth's gathering of the generals wasn’t patriotism — it was theater for authoritarianism. When you tell the military that America's “inner cities” are "a big part of war now” ...

The fortification of Broadview in defense of free speech continues. Workers are placing more barricades on 25th.

ISP gets in formation and a number of them march away from the intersection, toward the parking lot neighboring the ICE facility (it belongs to a business, not ICE's lot).

The crowd starts a rendition of The Imperial March.

Everyone is out of the road and either in the ~free speech zone~ or on adjacent corners. Troopers with long batons in the street now. Across the intersection, they are tightly guarding protesters and press from stepping off the sidewalk.

Masked protesters hold a banner that says “open the charges and free them all.”

It’s gotten dark at Broadview.

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

Broadview, Illinois today—

A dizzying array of federal and local police quashed an anti-deportation protest outside the Chicago ICE "processing" facility. Border Patrol agents once again violently attacked protesters, with arrest and crowd control support from IL state troopers.
