But shortly after we arrived, ICE called CPD, accused us of trespassing, and told us to leave the premises.

ICE is trying to prevent us from doing our congressional oversight duties.

This Trump administration is refusing transparency and accountability.

Rep. Jackson and I were just denied entry to the South Loop ICE facility in Chicago.

We went to ask questions and perform congressional oversight of potential illegal ICE activities as Donald Trump's administration targets immigrant communities.

More to come.

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible."

This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him.

Recognize him? Please contact us!

Happening now: a small group of protesters are once again blocking ICE agents' vans outside immigration court in Chicago.

Masked agents with handcuffs are threatening activists with arrest and intimidating photographers.

Situation is tense, we'll update as we can.

I've learned more Spanish in the past three months than I have in the last 30 years. I heard "Chinga La Migra" yesterday but couldn't make out the last two words. It really helps to see it spelled out. I'll be sure to use that one tomorrow! Thanks!!

Protesters and ICE watchers are gathering again outside immigration court this morning, where ICE agents have been kidnapping people after mandated hearings in downtown Chicago.

Sessions have been canceled (and arrests prevented) multiple times this week due to their presence.

This is resonating with me, but in the context as a leader of a large team in a larger company. I must change how I relate to everyone else in order to accommodate their needs and everyone calls my success quite an achievement when in fact it's exhausting and sometimes I can barely shower in a day

@indivisiblechicago.bsky.social hi! I’m looking for a group to travel with from oak park to June 14th, via blue line. Any insight into how I can join a local group?

I wish I had more understanding of law, I read this order and thought it was bad news that starting parts of a preliminary injunction was the opposite of a win…

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER - AMENDED PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION: In light of the issues raised during the April 28, 2025 hearing, this Court modifies a portion of its April 18, 2025 preliminary injunction 64 . This modification preserves the status quo as outlined in this Court's preliminary injunction. See Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. Xia, 2024 WL 3447849, at *6-7 (E.D.N.Y. July 9, 2024) (collecting cases modifying preliminary injunctions pending appeal in order to preserve the status quo). Defendants have represented to this court that that removals from Guantanamo Bay to third countries have been executed by the Department of Defense without the Department of Homeland Security's direction or knowledge, see Dkt 72, and the Court makes no finding on the accuracy of this assignment of responsibility but, in an abundance of caution, ORDERS that, prior to removing, or allowing or permitting another agency to remove, an alien from Guantanamo Bay to a third country, Defendants must comport with the terms of the April 18, 2025 preliminary injunction by providing the due-process guarantees set forth in Dkt. 64 at 46-47. At the April 28, 2025 hearing, the status of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center was debated. The Court declines to resolve if transportation to this base is a deportation to a third country despite the United States' exercise of jurisdiction and control over the base. Given the position taken by the Government that the deportation from Guantanamo to third countries was not at the direction, behest or control of the Department of Homeland Security, a debated issue to be resolved once preliminary discovery has been conducted, this Court ORDERS that, after taking custody of an alien, Defendants may not cede custody or control in any manner that prevents an alien from receiving the due-process guarantees outlined in the April 18, 2025 preliminary injunction.

Could be the impact of this ruling that just came out?

You saved me $2000 by helping me to realize there is more work I need to do by myself before I start down the path of diagnosis. I'm still not sure if it's necessary / would be helpful to me, but regardless your efforts helped me improve self-advocacy with my partner and I feel much more understood

I would have liked a discussion of "how do we balance constituent needs when a fascist regime is in power, where is the line, is there a line, is getting funding for natural disasters okay, but not for the military needs?" That's helpful for me but that kind of talk is impossible in this format.

It's prob ill-advised for me to say anything, but seeing this thread this morning is a perf example of why I stayed off socials. I want facts so I can formulate my own opinion, instead I had to read through misinformation, obfuscation and knee-jerk reactions to get it. Muddies the real discussion.
