Eviction By ICE? Federal immigration agents appear to have targeted Chicago tenants in “deliberate and systematic ways.” They’re still searching for answers about their landlord’s role in the raid.

This report by @rebeccaburns.bsky.social raises troubling questions about the role of the landlord in the federal raid on the apartment complex at 7500 South Shore Drive. Agents "appear to have received advance information about the building’s occupants that led them to target certain apartments"

Trump isn’t the first elected official to suggest jail for Mayor Brandon Johnson • The TRiiBE Months before President Trump, Chicago Ald. Raymond Lopez suggested his administration arrests Johnson.

In February, as a guest on the far-right podcast Real America’s Voice News, Chicago Ald. Ray Lopez said he met with “Border Czar” Tom Homan and offered to give him Mayor Johnson’s home address “so that if he wanted to arrest him immediately and do us all that favor.”

South Shore raid triggers past traumas and sparks new conversations about divisions between Black and Latino communities • The TRiiBE Federal agent activity on Chicago’s South and West sides put Black people in the crosshairs.

NEW — Rod Johnson will never forget federal agents zip-tying his hands behind his back.

The night of the South Shore raid in Chicago, Johnson said he was detained for two hours.

“I’m an American citizen with no warrants,” Johnson said.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

“If the immigration enforcement apparatus of the United States were its own national military, it would be the 13th most heavily funded in the world.“

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police.

Fighting for Our Stolen Neighbors: ICE, Tear Gas and a Guitar Blown Open "Being out here to demand what is right is the only way to stay human," says Jessica Darrow.

As ICE continues to terrorize Chicagoland, protesters gathered this morning outside the Broadview detention center—throwing stuffed animals at DHS agents, playing music through tear gas assaults, and putting their bodies on the line to stop ICE vehicles. My latest.

On Friday, ICE killed Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez — a Franklin Park parent — during a “targeted operation.” Three schools went into lockdown, including two elementary schools, and families weren’t told until hours later.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
