“Now, new documents confirm in the government’s own words that what prompted the raid was more pedestrian: allegations that immigrants were squatting in the complex. And the landlord had given federal officials, who were already targeting immigrants in Chicago, the blessing to search the building.”

Impossible to not hear this through the lens of domestic violence. At basically every level that this regime operates - from the psychosexual motivations of the individual agents and players, to the macroeconomic policies - hating women is always a motivating factor.

For whoever needs to hear this, the government does not need "provocation" to "justify further repression." They are already literally murdering people at random in the full light of day. Good behavior counts for nothing now. All that counts is finding concrete ways to exert leverage against them.

Here's the sort of thing Webloc can do: - zoom in on specific phone, see where else that device has been locally or around country - click a 'route' button to see the specific route - click a nighttime button to see where at night; their likely home No warrant www.404media.co/inside-ices-...
Once a Webloc user has identified a device of interest, they can get more details about that particular phone, and, by extension, its owner, by seeing where else it has travelled both locally and across the country. Users can click a route feature which shows the path the device took. The material suggests that if users look at where the device was located at night, they might find the person’s possible home, and during the day, the person’s possible employer.
The software can also do a multi-permiter analysis, which monitors multiple locations at once to see which devices have been present at two or more specific places.
A results page then displays the list of discovered devices. This includes whether the phone is an Android or iOS device; the number of days the device visited a given location; the average amount of time a device stayed at the location; and the total number of pieces of location data for that phone.

ICE, in Chicago, is functioning more or less like a guerilla force. They are moving like water, appearing from unmarked vehicles, striking, and disappearing back to their mountain base (Broadview), and then escalating. This requires a new tactic from us.

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

What the stronger democratic governors understand that their supporters don't is that most state troopers, county sheriffs, local police, etc. will defy orders to arrest ICE agents. Once that happens, things will accelerate dramatically. It’s an event horizon, with more bloodshed on the other side.

A large GMC pick up truck with a front bumper / hood that is almost 5 feet tall. The truck has a special license plate raising awareness for bicycle safety and sharing the road with cyclists. This is interesting because large trucks such as these are at least twice as deadly to cyclists and pedestrians as regular sedans
