An ICE supervisor once told me, a pro bono atty, that my client would not be released because I hadn't submitted the originals of documents required for him to be released. I asked him what rule or reg required an original-he responded that my client would be released that pm. ICE lies all the time

Just wanted to note that right after the clip cuts off the bystander filming asks the man being detained for his name and he shouts it out. The man also said to contact his family. Getting information from the scene is an important way to try to help.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Accused of Nearly 800 Environmental Violations on Las Vegas Project Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

After Nevada regulators dropped a penalty against The Boring Co. from $3 million to $242,800, critics questioned whether it was enough to change operations at the Elon Musk-led company, which was valued at $7 billion in 2023.

I remember watching this live at the time and thinking, She's got them outnumbered.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Masked and armed agents confirmed inside. EXERCISE CAUTION. The agents approached and threatened someone who was following them. If you are low risk, please get out on the street on Clark and Ridge to watch for ICE activity and protect your neighbors.

🚨 ALERT: ICE Abduction at 6650 N Clark. One person taken. Black ford suv, 2-4 agents, masks, green fatigues, vests, weapons belts. Two ICE vehicles driving a loop through the neighborhood, focused on Clark and Ridge. Black SUV Wagoneer Plate 229242 and White Ford Expedition IL Plate 606581. 1 of 2

A sweet potato field and the place workers sort the potatoes

"Rafa" is a Merced county farm worker. He does 2 shifts in 2 different jobs as rent is so expensive. He harvests tomatoes in the am. Then he sorts sweet potatoes under a hot sun - working 13 hours total. He worries about driving home because of lack of sleep. #WeFeedYou

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

he's your coworker now!

A fluffy orange cat looking up mid-groom. They are in a cat bed that has been placed on a barstool chair.

I bought a barstool chair for my standing desk for when my legs get tired. But since I keep it next to the standing desk when not in use, Helo has decided it's the best spot in the house, as it lets them be next to me as I work. I can't argue with that, so it seems I bought Helo a barstool chair.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

One final note: I'm working on some more FOIA stuff in the background re: NIPAS' ID numbers, but in the meantime, look out for whether those IDs are present and visible. They absolutely should be, but again, videos from Friday shows it's inconsistent. /thread

🧵Just got some records back today on the NIPAS deployment to Broadview last Friday, including two interesting letters dated that very same day which shed some light on the decision-making behind the "Unified Command" deployment vis-à-vis the IL TRUST Act. See below ⬇️

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Presbyterian minister David Black on CNN, who was shot with pepper balls while praying outside an ICE facility.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

Judge rules federal agents can't deploy chemical irritants at journalists, protesters who don't pose threats The temporary ruling stems from a lawsuit filed this week by news organizations, unions, independent journalists and protesters against the Department of Homeland Security following tense interactions outside of the ICE processing facility in suburban Broadview.

The lawsuit claims federal agents have indiscriminately used excessive force and have “randomly singled out” reporters and protesters with chemical agents during recurring protests outside the ICE Broadview facility.

Halsted/Armitage is home to a new on-street Divvy station. No sidewalk space needed. So stoked about this location at the intersection of two bus lines and important bike corridors!

Thulusdhoo, Maldives. Sunset Golden Hour at the Sunset Beach. Standing at the shoreline, gazing out at the turquoise and gold-tinged lagoon, the sun peeks through the low clouds, casting a golden hue over the horizon. The sky, adorned with golden clouds, gradually transitions into a deep blue as it ascends. The higher clouds, bathed in the setting sun’s glow, exude a radiant light, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

There has been a lot of ICE activity in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago today. There has also been a lot of ICE watch and rapid response activity. We love our community, and we are showing up for each other.
