Now in the courtroom of District Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago for the start of a scheduled status hearing in the class action accusing federal immigration agents of abusing press, clergy and the public in the Chicago area.

Ellis entered an injunction order limiting feds' use of force last week.
Ellis sets a status hearing for 3 pm next Thursday, Nov. 13.

More issues to be covered then, including how to handle possible court order violations plaintiffs have already raised.

Devastating to hear about Rachel Cooke, a generational talent whose writing was often an inspiration, especially her political interviews. So much more she could have written.

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
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.

As a Wall Street CEO, Frank Bisignano cashed out to the tune of $500 MILLION — and his former company faces questions about its financial reporting.

Now, he's Donald Trump's head of Social Security.

Did Bisignano mislead investors and Americans?
I'm pressing for answers.

Only 2.6% on list of 614 ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ arrestees had criminal histories, DOJ records show
Meanwhile, the other 598 people on the list had no listed criminal history at all.
