Suggested reading for billionaire @govpritzker.illinois.gov Instead of playing victim and demonizing teachers and working people for demanding adequate funding for public schools, tax the rich & stop layoffs and cuts to vital services. We will not allow apartheid education for our children.

Federal officials accused someone of firing shots at agents conducting an aggressive immigration raid led by Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino through Little Village Saturday. No one was injured. Agents used chemical agents to disperse the crowd, @sigchofor25.bsky.social said. @wttw.bsky.social

The Department of Homeland Security’s Twitter feed is absolute propaganda. After ICE leader Greg Bovino was ordered by a federal judge to not harass children on Halloween the DHS Twitter feed claimed they “wouldn’t back down to anarchy in Chicago”… ICE makes Chicago unsafe.

From the Editorial Board: This is not welcomed. There has to be a moratorium on these kinds of un-American tactics and there has to be one now. This is outrage over kids seeing things that are impossible to forget. And over American kids suddenly having a parent swept away.

Ellis tells Bovino the people of Chicago have a right to tell him and his agents that they don't like what they are doing and want them to leave. "They can't get tear gassed" for doing that. Bovino: "I understand what you are saying, your honor. We will abide by the temporary restraining order."

Ellis says she called Bovino into court today to prevent something like that happening again, and to ensure agents abide by the 1st and 4th amendment. And that kids throughout Chicago can feel safe and confident that law enforcement officers are there to protect them.

Judge Ellis asks Bovino if he has a body worn camera. He says no. "How about by Friday you get one for yourself?" Ellis asks. Bovino says, "We can get that... and the training."
