Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Demonstrators were shot with more pepper balls and rubber bullets Monday at ICE’s Broadview facility. “The fact that they’re shooting me is getting me more worked up. … Every day off I’ll make sure I’m out here.” “It’s like igniting a fire.” Story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
Protesters stand on the sidewalk the bisects the Broadview ICE facility’s driveway as federal agents move toward them to clear the path for a vehicle to enter the facility, Monday, Sept. 22, 2025.Protesters with the marks of pepper ball powder on their backs are pushed off the sidewalk the bisects the Broadview ICE facility’s driveway by federal agents trying to clear the path for a vehicle to enter the facility, Monday, Sept. 22, 2025.Daniel Schouse, a 36-year-old Palatine resident,  holds a rubber bullet he was ahit with Monday, Sept. 22, 2025.

He was covered in white pepper ball powder by the afternoon, only to be hosed off by others with wipes and water bottles.

For the last several days, federal immigration agents have regularly used pepper balls and other chemicals as well as rubber bullets during demonstrations. The agents are firing the rounds as an attempt to clear protesters from ICE's facility driveway so vehicles could carry agents to raids and detainees to to holding facilities.

Schouse took several hits as protesters stood on the sidewalk blocking cars from entering the facility temporarily, but always being fended back by agents shoving them out of the way or the pepper ball rounds.

But he and others also were shot while dancing and blowing bubbles in front of the facility. They later shouted to agents on the roof not to shoot a woman who arrived to drop off a relative's legal documents.

"The fact that they're shooting me is getting me more worked up and makes me want to be here more," Schouse said. "Every day off I'll make sure I'm out here. ... It's like igniting a fire."Morsa Narvaez (left), a 25-year-old hair dresser who lives nearby, wipes pepper ball powder off another protester, Levi Rolls, at ICE’s Broadview facility Monday, Sept. 25, 2025.

Narvaez arrived for the first time Friday to ask if the protesters there needed supplies. She's been there every day since, now taking charge when people stop by to ask the same question she did four days ago.

"There's no organization," Narvaez said. "As we're going, we're realizing what we need. ... We're just a communitv of people who see something that's wrong and are trying to do what we can. We're not professionals - I cut hair. We're just figuring it out."
