There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
WHEN INTERACTING WITH IMMIGRATION OFFICERS (ICE)
• If you believe you are witnessing ICE activity, please call ICIRR's 24-Hour Family Support Hotline at 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693).
• If you find yourself interacting with an ICE officer in any location including your workplace, or out in the community, remember:
• You have the right to remain silent when questioned or arrested by immigration officers
• You should remain calm and keep your hands where the officer can see them.
• You can state that you wish to speak with an attorney.
• You are not required to
• Discuss your immigration or citizenship status with the police, immigration agents, or other officials
• Sign anything you do not understand.
• If an officer knocks on your door at home:
• You have the right to not open the door.
• ICE officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE
"warrants" are not signed by judges; they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers and they do not grant authority to enter your home without your consent
• If you are outdoors and think you see immigration officers nearby:
• You can move to a safe indoor space
• If you are a U.S. citizen and feel safe to do so, you can record the activity with your phone or write down any relevant information about what you witness— ALWAYS being careful to not interfere or otherwise obstruct the operation
• DO NOT:
• Post unverified information on social media
• Interfere with the investigation or otherwise put yourself in harm's way

NEED SUPPORT? CALL ICIRR'S FAMILY SUPPORT NETWORK HOTLINE: 1-855-435-7693

MUST WATCH: A disabled woman just got her car windows destroyed and her body ripped from the vehicle by ICE while trying to get medical care. This is deliberate abuse. Everyone needs to see this.

I’d rather pay higher prices because employees are making 15$ than pay more because executives are lying about inflation and tariffs while pocketing the money in bonuses and stocks.

The problem is this...the media (both right wing and left) has created such hysteria over small shit, that most Americans will now refuse the truth, even when it's as tragic as this bill's passage.

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE: Disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were just ZIP-TIED and ARRESTED by Capitol Police for protesting inside the Russell Senate Office Building. Their banner was ripped from their hands. They were fighting for healthcare—and got handcuffs instead.

Senator Cory Booker is still on the Senate floor for his filibuster. 13 hours and counting! “I urge you to fight every one of his proposals and appointments, slow the legislative process as much as you can. Please. I hope Trump will lose his majority.” 🔥

Cory Booker's floor speech began at 7PM. Midnight now, still going strong. Fascism = dehumanization. It's fueled by sadism, based on cruelty, & sees others as less than human. At this moment: Booker & Chris Murphy showing their humanity is 💯 fascism's antidote. Whether they even realize it.

From Senator Cory Booker: I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability. The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many. If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.
