NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

We're in a very tough spot if California's Prop 50 doesn't pass which would allow them to counter Texas's gerrymander.

Trump is a war-monger wannabe king.

He is dragging Americans to a war with Venezuela based on lies and without Congress' approval. It is a tactic straight from the authoritarian playbook.

This happened to one of our community members, Maureen, last month at Broadview.

We got her story, and those of nine others, at amplifyicnw.org/what-our-nei...

Spoiler alert: these are not "radical left lunatics." We're your friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

U-Haul and Budget vehicles are being used by ICE to carry out raids in Chicago.

Transporting both people and firearms is a direct violation of their rental terms.

Are they okay with their vehicles being used this way?

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

More confirmed ICE activity in Chicago this morning. Reported shortly after 10 a.m.

The Wicker Park / Humboldt Park neighborhoods both have large Latine populations; this is as about as deep into the city proper that we've yet seen agents cruising the streets. bsky.app/profile/bmes...

CONFIRMED: ICE activity in Maplewood and North in Chicago’s Wicker Park / Humboldt neighborhood. Just saw a neighbor kidnapped.

Many NW Chicago officials are standing with us against Trump’s use of the National Guard and active-duty Military.

To date, over a dozen alderpeople, IL state reps & senators, and county commissioners have signed on to oppose this action.

Read the open letter here: letter.indivisiblechicagonw.org
Opposing the Military Occupation of Chicago See the dozen+ Chicago alderpeople, IL state reps & senators, and county commissioners who have signed on to unequivocally oppose this action. Dear Northwest Side Neighbor, We, Indivisible Chicago Northwest, and elected leaders representing the Northwest Side, unequivocally oppose the Trump administration’s threats to mobilize and deploy the National Guard and active-duty military to Chicago. This is an alarming attack on states’ rights and an insult to the will of our local governments and residents, bringing extreme risk and fear to our immigrant and homeless communities in particular. We are a nation of laws, and the law is clear: the U.S. military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement purposes (Posse Comitatus Act of 1878). Federal law outlines extremely limited instances in which the President may deploy National Guard members—specifically, in response to an invasion, insurrection, or when the President is unable to enforce federal law through conventional means—none of which apply to Chicago (10U.S.C.§12406). Contrary to Trump’s characterization of Chicago, the city has seen a historic drop in crime. In the first half of 2025: Violent crimes fell by 22% Shootings fell by 37% Carjackings fell by 49%

Want to save democracy? We need more people to pay attention.

Calling out impacts to everyday life is a good way to get non-political folks to start questioning what's going on.
