Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out.
They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

If there was any doubt, THE COURTS ARE NOT GOING TO SAVE US. We have to save ourselves.
We have to withhold our labor, our money, and our attention from a corrupt, broken system.
Stop thinking about who you’re going to vote for in 2026/2028 and do something now!!! Mutual aid. Direct action. Please.

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.
Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

It's clear that printing and distribution of my publication TASKS FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD IN CHICAGO is going to disrupt my life at a time when I have no time, so here are files you can print from. It's a double-sided 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Please do not edit the text. Have fun!
