HOW IT WORKS: Community defenders stop an out of state vehicle at the filter blockade, run the plate through a database, and confirm whether the vehicle is affiliated with abductors before letting it through.

And honestly (speaking from Chicago) it's good that a lot of this stuff stays invisible because it keeps us and our neighbors SAFER. Just don't assume nothing is happening when you don't see it in posts and videos.

Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago. They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

Feds Used Chemical Agents Dozens of Times in Chicago

An investigation by reporters from six newsrooms found that agents used chemical irritants nearly 50 times during Operation Midway Blitz.

thx for this context. i was there and my naive ass interpreted her comments less as actually wanting to collab with the feds and more to highlight how unreasonable they're being by using 'reasonable' rhetoric herself. but if she actually meant she thinks there's a possibility of a collab--yikes

in wheaton, illinois, this morning— it appears bystanders helped chase off this crew of ice agents, who had boxed in a person's car outside a convenience store. multiple people showed up and recorded the interaction. after a brief back-and-forth with agents, the feds got in their cars and left.

five masked agents surround wearing green body armor surround a sedan on a street corner. one person's vest reads "ERO."

the same five masked ice agents talk to the driver of the green sedan. they're wearing jeans and green camouflage tactical vests.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Somebody has now made this into a graphic that's circulating widely. It's still false. There are many trustworthy orgs monitoring the situation on the ground, like ICIRR and OCAD and CAARPR and NLG Chicago and TRP. Listen to them, not random unsourced, undated stuff reshared onto your timeline.

A screenshot of a supposed community alert flyer that says "A trustworthy source has gotten word from their downtown Chicago employer that there will be a 2AM deployment of both ICE and the National Guard to these areas TONIGHT: Boystown, Humboldt Park, Little Village"

That text is followed by a quote from JB Pritzker, the number for the ICIRR Family Support Network hotline, and encouragement to video record ICE activity and post it online

We've heard a lot of gossip about residents + tenants complaining to management—not about protesters, but about the ICE activity that brought them. If it's true the feds have been cut off, that means Chicagoans have shut off a pipeline that was easily providing a dozen or more detainees a day.

A lot has happened this week. While the big rallies dominate headlines, we'll most remember this one brave protester who singlehandedly stopped a kidnapping van from returning to immigration court. Just a profoundly important thing to witness in all the noise.

Protesters and ICE watchers are gathering again outside immigration court this morning, where ICE agents have been kidnapping people after mandated hearings in downtown Chicago. Sessions have been canceled (and arrests prevented) multiple times this week due to their presence.
