A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Standing room only for the Broadview, IL village board meeting this evening. Like it’s 2022 again — follow along, yes?

Ai feels like it’s trying to trick me into thinking I don’t need to think about anything and it can think for me. Even for really simple tasks.

Yes because it only pops up as prompts for tasks that are generally easy for me to do and also can be enjoyable, such as searching for an answer to a question online. And also the environmental impact is not minimal and more data is showing how it’s leading to increase in our electrical bills.

Do you abstain from AI? I'd love to hear about why you avoid it -- and how hard that might be getting. Send me a DM or Signal @lisabonos.18

She adds that violations of ICE agents' rights can't be addressed if they won't identify themselves.

She concedes it can be "scary" to be followed home or harassed, but adds,

"That doesn't mean you get to do this job and be anonymous."

I'm floored. Ellis essentially just told the govt. to suck it up. Cites incidents of judges getting doxxed.

"It's unfortunately part of the cost of doing business as a public servant," she says.

Ellis cuts him off - says nothing in the filing shows the named plaintiffs were doing anything more than "simply expressing their views... or simply doing their jobs, if they're journalists."

Defense attorney rebuts that plaintiffs wouldn't support evidence that hurts their case.

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order establishing ‘ICE-free zones’ • The TRiiBE Johnson is calling for a full investigation into “all of the brutality” that federal agents have conducted this past week.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

Broadview police chief accuses ICE agents of making false 911 calls Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.

“On Thursday, Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.”

Village of Broadview sues Trump administration over 'illegal' fence outside ICE facility DHS put up an 8-foot fence outside a federal detention center following clashes between agents and protesters. But village officials said the fence, which extends across Beach Street, was placed “illegally” and without a permit and impedes emergency response.

The Village of Broadview filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, citing serious public safety concerns over an illegal fence erected outside the immigration facility in the Chicago suburb.

As seen on the streets of Evanston. Thank you to those in this community keeping watch.

Love it 💜

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

After Border Patrol shooting of woman on Southwest Side, agents battle protesters for hours The shooting occurred Saturday in Brighton Park when federal patrols were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, an account that has yet to be verified...

Media outlets have reported that a border patrol agent shot the woman. There are different federal agents in the city rn from what I can gather.

Some context that I think gets lost by calling people here "protesters." Strictly true that they were protesting. But this was neighborhood. Almost all of it was people who came out of their houses and pleaded to stop using gas because there were kids in houses/yards in the blocks off Kedzie.

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.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
