Please note that the things Mills is most mad about—false calls, and his officers being exposed to chemical weapons—have nothing to do with the feds attacking protesters. He's perfectly happy to have ISP do that instead so long as his guys are unbothered.

CPD has 20+ injured on duty this afternoon, most/all from federal use of gas. Related: no arrests by CPD, no documented uses of force by CPD. (I wasn't everywhere / didn't see every skirmish. And possibly some late-entry TRR forms to come.) Saw two federal arrests, saw one on video didn't witness.

Reuters article: Border Patrol agents shoot armed woman in Chicago as protesters confront immigration personnel
I think the word “allegedly” has a place in this headline. Always remember, cops like, including CBP @reuters.com

Brighton Park, the Chicago neighborhood where this incident allegedly took place, is about 15 miles away from Broadview, a western Chicago suburb.
If they can't get their facts correct about simple geography, what else could they be making up?

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:

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I just called the governor's office because I'm deeply concerned with what I am seeing at Broadview today, with Illinois State Police detaining people who are doing what the governor has been telling Illinoisans to do: protesting and filming federal agents

There are way more people here at #Broadview protesting than appear in this video. All different kinds of cops—Sheriffs dept, border patrol, even the ATF. Numerous arrests have occurred. #FuckICE

“The village is demanding ICE "stop issuing falsehoods" in their official communications, stop putting their public servants and residents in harm's way, and stop attacking peaceful protesters and journalists, in what Mills said is a public safety crisis.”
