Greg Bovino may have moved on to Charlotte, but federal immigration agents maintain a presence in the Chicago area.

Northwest Side Rapid Response has confirmed agents detained at least one person around 9:45 this morning off Kedzie and Wabansia.

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.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Lots of questions about living conditions in South Shore following the federal agents militarized raid earlier this week.

This piece provides some historical context and framing around how Venezuelans landed in the predominantly-Black Chicago neighborhood.

Sorry if thread is broken, it's still chaotic out here. A lot more gas, it's awful, can't see that well.

ICE just tackled and arrested two protesters.

Earlier this morning around 10:15, ICE agents were spotted near Howard and Greenview in Rogers Park. It doesn't appear they arrested anyone, and they quickly left the area.

Emmy-Award Winning Journalist at Risk of Deportation Over ICE Coverage “This is one of the most dangerous periods for free speech in American history,” a Georgia lawmaker said.

The Board of Immigration Appeals has ordered Emmy-award winning journalist Mario Guevara to be deported to El Salvador after 100 days in ICE detention, a country he fled more than two decades ago after being persecuted for his reporting.

Just posting to point out the first warning in the PepperBall manual is “DANGER: Never aim or shoot at the head, face, eyes, ears, throat, groin or spine. Impact in these areas could result in unintended severe or permanent injury or death.”

This update is a punch to the gut
