Love this quote. It is not hyperbole to speak on the terror communities like Cicero have experienced.

If you don’t know, immigration attorneys have been sounding alarms that ICE appears to be using frequent shuffles between detention centers to exhaust migrant detainees, separate them family and their attorneys, wear them down and get them to sign “voluntary” deport papers.

It’s a torture tactic.

This is the FIFTH ICE flight out of Chicago in less than week, per tracking by @jjindc.bsky.social.. (2 GlobalX, 3 Avelo)

Never seen that many stops to one city in a week. My guess, they’ve extracted all the overcrowding-induced “voluntary” deports they’re gonna get, so now they’re moving out.
Just moments ago, detainees transported from ICE’s Broadview facility this morning were loaded onto an Avelo Airlines plane in Gary, Indiana.

At a veterans’ day event, Ald. Mike Rodriguez says people have been on 26th Street since 6 a.m. because “a certain member of the federal government promised to be in Little Village today.”
In Little Village, a small group has closed down 26th Street in front of the arch. About 12 hours after news that Bovino et al may be on their way out.

Since May, Avelo has been under fire for contracting with ICE to use their planes for deportation flights.

Company leaders explained the “partnership” with ICE as “too valuable not to pursue”.

why did the judge announce an inspection giving them time to cover up
Speculation is that ICE could be trying to move people out to clean the holding cells and to set up cots to comply with the latest judicial order to address inhumane conditions inside the facility. The judge is currently scheduled to inspect the facility Thursday morning.

Pritzker is full of shit.

There’s all sorts of video, that he himself asked residents to film, showing IL state troopers and other local cops brutalizing and arresting protestors.

Thank you Ald. Sigcho-Lopez for getting in his face about it. It’s something he’s never asked about in interviews.

Turning off replies because I'm not interested in debate.

I'm right.

Also, don't tell me that the state cops protect us from ICE when I was personally brutalized by ICE in the presence of a mob of state cops. Police do not protect protesters. That's simply not how they exist in relation to us.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

The most optimistic read is that rapid response networks in place now will be better able to respond to the more targeted kidnappings and continue to jam up ICE whether BP is here or not. The most cynical one is that a lot of people will stop paying attention.

One of the darkest parts of this timeline is knowing it is Bovino's obsession with visibility that activated most people. Without the propaganda ops, ICE/ERO could have kept going under the surface as they are. Terrain is different now. How many CBP will remain + will they continue w/ same tactics?

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation.

Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.
Bovino left LA to come to Chicago and it's not like LA saw immigration operations stop - just less showboating from his crew. So even if these circulating rumors over the last week turn out real, I'm pessimistic about how much change to expect on the ground.

This is why ousting Schumer isn't enough. Democratic senators don't pressure each other much, they have weak leadership by design, and they want to preserve arcane Senate rules that let them hide behind process.

Without primaries or massive outside pressure, this is where they'll be.
“There’s no real appetite to oust Schumer, though. Nor is there any interest from another Democrat to challenge him, according to interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators.” @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

Oh Sen Dems are not in disarray - they are in array - in their collective cowardice.

They “left” LA, but it’s worse than ever there, at least according to LA Taco ➖
& the same for DC where Feds AND National Guard ⬅️ are still ”arresting“ people
The media might not give it the BOVINO-celeb coverage, but it’s not lessening anywhere. Always worse when attention is gone from a place 👀👁️👀
