We all need to channel this Chicago man’s utter contempt

When this era is done, I don’t want to hear anyone saying β€œLet’s move on.” We deserve ACCOUNTABILITY.

Oregonians, we need your help.

ICE activity is increasing in our communities. If you see something, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and get your phone out to record it.

border patrol agents drive away in a back suv

border patrol agents drive away in a back suv

massive, spontaneous community resistance as residents link arms + march ice down the street behind the discount mall in little village and into their cars. "go! leave!"

the crowd erupts as suvs depart. a sea of whistles and cheers. one person yells, "everywhere ice goes, we'll be there!"

It’s really an awful feeling to see reports of the secret police roaming my neighborhood 10 minutes before calling in to a meeting for my silly computer job.

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active.

Shared with permissionβ€”rapid response whistle team at Bryn Mawr & Broadway this morning.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

I am never ever fucking EVER getting over these fuckers just driving around snatching our neighbors off the street.

One thing I want you to take from videos like this is the absolute cacophony of whistles and screams of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" from people in the streets and in buildings. And more and more people are at that point every day.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid responseβ€”both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

I am working in a restaurant and everyone is scared. We've lost 4 or 5 to ICE. People are afraid to come to work during daylight hours, so they get to work 5 or 6 hours early and sleep in the dry storage until their shift starts. People are sleeping here at night.

another day of border patrol and ice terrorizing chicagoβ€”and of spontaneous community resistance.

they tear-gassed community members on a residential street in albany park. they pulled a gun on a rapid responder in rogers park.

they abducted people from alleys and parking lots and train stations.

Just about everyone vulnerable has been told to stay inside. There are literally hundreds of trained emergency response people on the streets of the 1.8 sq mile neighborhood. ICE is driving through alleys looking for anyone who’s brown

This is Fugitive Slave Act stuff + foreign occupation

This appears to be the tear gas deployed that was mentioned in this community alert earlier. ICE all over Albany Park this morning.

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.

I'm very concerned for my fellow Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman. I hope we hear news about what has happened to her soon.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

I can’t get over how beyond despicable it is to detain street vendors, people that keep our streets vibrant and safer because of their presence. Street vendors are some of the most vulnerable and visible yet we are being told their detainment is to keep us safe. Ridiculous.

People really have no idea how violent, cruel, and intentionally torturous American jails and prisons are.

And most people in American jails have never been convicted of a crime.
