As he was being arrested, Rev. Woolf asked police to loosen the restraints on his hands, as one of his hands was going numb.

According to Woolf, an officer replied to the pastor: “Nobody wants to talk to you — shut the f–k up.” religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...
At least seven faith leaders arrested at Broadview ICE facility protest
(RNS) — 'I've got bruises all over my body,' the Rev. Michael Woolf, who was thrown to the ground and arrested by police, told RNS.

This book is terrific and incredibly timely right now for anyone wanting to learn better discipline at fighting for civil rights for all.

You can’t be fully unaware of how much preparation went into the sit-ins and freedom riders and marches, but the gritty details are very illuminating herein.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

If police have never snatched you from your car and slammed you to the pavement, consider yourself lucky.

Most Black men in America have experienced this.

This government terrorism is normal for Black people.

I'm just saying, the Catholic Church should make me a Bishop. You need an outsider to keep things from stagnating, get a fresh perspective and all. I would be fabulous in that capacity. Also I could beat ICE agents with that shepherd's crook thing they give you. Really do some brother's keeper shit.

Just one more barricade and we'll have peace 😌/s
More concrete barriers are being added on Beach Street outside the ICE processing center in suburban Broadview after a clash between protesters and agents led to at least 21 arrests and four law enforcement officers injured.

"I hope you die" is boring, predictable

"I hope your favorite franchise adds a wacky chungus sidekick that yells gameplay hints at you" is real, terrifying, possible, and is in fact happening to me right now

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

it was another friday morning of illinois state police, broadview pd, and cook county sheriff’s office violence against folks gathered (this time, a large group of clergy, faith leaders, and other activists) outside the broadview ICE jail. 🧵

broadview pd turned sprinklers on the people waiting to provide post-release practical support and medical care for arrested community members. after those waiting to provide post-release care moved, broadview pd turned on a different set of sprinklers for the new spot. ugh just leave people alone!
CCSO, ISP, & broadview PD reported arresting 20+ people.
police repeatedly slammed bodies and faces on the pavement, and sat / knelt on limbs, heads, & necks. they threw & broke glasses, keffiyehs, bike helmets, & protective masks, leaving remnants of people’s possessions in pieces on the street.

Singling out and grabbing people from the crowd, being excessively brutal to protestors, and setting up scenarios for protestors to get attacked and arrested has its hazards.
broadview mayor katrina thompson blames today’s brutality on “out-of-town protesters” who’ve “chosen their fists” over their voices.

does this look like cops “protecting [protesters’] free speech”?

i think if cops don’t want to injure themselves outside the broadview ICE jail anymore, they should stop hitting people, kneeling on people’s necks, pulling people’s hair, twisting people’s limbs into unnatural positions, or pushing people over onto them. but i’m not a mayor so what do i know.
