iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

From photographer Evan Stone: a member of Lang's crew inside a silly string covered car waved what appears to be a gun at the crowd this afternoon. A Bridgeview police officer can be seen peering inside the vehicle. He then swipes its side mirror back into position:

We're heading out. Crowd is mostly dispersed as well. We'll update with arrest totals when we can get them.

After Lang left, we also saw police surround a person who appeared to be splayed on their back. We later saw police take someone, who appeared to be alert and sitting upright unassisted, out of the crowd on a golf cart thing. Riot police gone, local cops still on scene but keeping their distance.

A lot just happened. Police cleared an exit for Lang and his group, who left in a large caravan. A cop in riot gear pushed at least one person hard to the ground in the process. Someone, not sure if police or one of Lang's, sprayed people with mace. Hearing reports of arrests but can't confirm atm.

People are also corraling this group of guys in white polo shirts on the edge of the crowd, one of whom proudly declared they're the "real nazis" a few moments ago.

People in white polos stand with their backs to yellow concrete bubkers while other people in black clothes yell at them. One of the people in white polos is shouting into a megaphone.

A drone is hovering above the white supremacist camp's trucks. Not sure whose it is. The size of Lang's group has remained about the same since we got on-scene. The crowd coming out to oppose them has grown significantly. Easily high hundreds of people at this point.

Lang's crusader march group is well outnumbered; besides the police (including those in riot gear) there are yellow concrete barricades separating people from Lang & co. There's a big sign truck with Lang's face on it that says "go home pedophile"

Happening now in the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview: A few hundred people are out protesting right-wing provocateur Jake Lang and his attempted "crusader march" on the local Palestine Fest going on nearby. Police in riot gear just formed a line, with Lang's group behind them.

@elviamalagon.bsky.social and I have been tracking and covering heat-related deaths all summer, and for good reason— at least 16 people have died from heat exposure in Cook County, 13 in Chicago, mostly on the South Side. That's the most in at least a decade. chicago.suntimes.com/health/2026/...

Nine of the people who died from heat this summer in Cook County did so inside their homes or apartments and many had no working air conditioning, according to a review of records from the Cook County...

That's not to say local police collaboration in Illinois isn't happening, as we saw this week with @unraveledpress.com reporting on ICE activity in/around CPD properties. But it's definitely an (expensive) hurdle.

just wanna re-up the part where I wrote that many immigrants in Maine have been sheltering in place since January for their own safety, with ICE still operating in the area. it is October.

One cop accidentally recorded himself talking to a 17yo he stalked using flock/databases trying to show her a dead body to impress her and hitting on her. The other used flock/databases 381+ times to look up a woman he wanted to date who is 20+yrs younger than him. www.youtube.com/live/IkLoy1x...

We asked Mayor Johnson's office about these incidents. A spokesperson said they are "actively monitoring and responding to reported violations of municipal and state law by federal immigration agents, while working to document and compile evidence of violations of Mayor Johnson’s executive order.”

Chicago's city council empowered COPA last March to investigate alleged collaboration between CPD and ICE. Since then, people have filed at least 7 reports with COPA over ICE using local police facilities, including the 25th District station that connects to a Cook County courthouse.

The pattern dates back to the onset of the ICE surge. Last October, before new signage was installed reminding both feds and cops of the ban on using city property for immigration enforcement, federal vehicles were seen exiting another police parking lot in the 24th District:

After elected officials joined community members in protest over the 17th District incidents, ICE still returned. A witness sent us a photo they captured of masked agents yet again using police property for their operations on Sept 10 in Logan Square:

Witnesses then again recorded ICE agents in 17th District parking lots on Sept 2 and 3. According to a report to Chicago's Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) we obtained, the family of one detained man was able to track his phone to the 17th District lot on Sept 3:

At an Albany Park Police District council meeting Saturday, residents called on the Chicago Police Department to “end the collaboration” with federal immigration agents.

Videos provided by witnesses show ICE agents transferring immigrant detainees between cars in Chicago police parking lots at least twice this summer: on July 5 in the 11th District, and on Aug 28 in the 25th District. The Aug 28 transfer was also captured by CPD's own surveillance camera:

We spoke with that observer, who said ICE agents held her for hours. By the time they released her, her car had been towed. She also said she saw Chicago cops glad-handing with ICE. Hard to confirm, as the surveillance video file we obtained via FOIA request is missing nearly two hours of footage.

In one violent incident on August 1, immigration agents in CPD's 25th District station lot boxed in an ICE observer, ripped her from her car and moved her to one of their SUVs to detain her. We asked for security footage from that morning. It shows ICE agents in full view of local police:
