If your city is next, mutual aid and neighborhood watch networks are the most important things to scale up, but whistles are a great tool to get people taking the first step.

“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”
I’m One of the Clergy ICE Assaulted. They Treat Immigrants Worse
I learned the hard way that my clerical collar doesn’t offer much protection from ICE. But immigrants have no protection at all.

This story now includes video, released by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, of the baby being exposed to chemical irritants fired by federal agents from their convoy into the car she was riding in with members of her family near 26th Street and Ogden Avenue in Cicero.
Federal officials accused someone of firing shots at agents conducting an aggressive immigration raid led by Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino through Little Village Saturday. No one was injured.
Agents used chemical agents to disperse the crowd, @sigchofor25.bsky.social said.

Chicagoans never stop. I was just watching a live stream of a press conference held by community members in front of FBI headquarters. In the rain in the dark. Umbrellas at hand they are calling for the release of 6 people taken by ICE, 3 also arrested by CPD. They never stop fighting.

Today I protested ICE fascists at the Broadview, IL facility, as I have for several months. I've shared before every time the escalation of violence has been by the State against peaceful protestors.

It’s fair to say that everything DHS says about Chicago is a lie. The cameras up campaign together with reliable eyewitness accounts catches them lying each & every time.
No ballistic evidence. No one hit. No injuries. No damage from gunfire. Local cops can’t find a “crime scene.” DHS claims shots were fired. I don’t believe them. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

CBP/ICE was supported by the FBI this morning in Little Village, with reports of plainclothes feds seen in vehicles across the area.
This also included using Chicago FBI HQ for staging. Bovino is seen here doing rock paper scissors with another agent for the DHS cameras, as people yell insults:

This is the most comprehensive reporting released on the DHS-alleged shooting so far. Read the entire story (reminder: reporters don't usually choose headlines).
For folks asking if it's true an ICE agent was shot: no, that is a verifiably false rumor. No injuries. A lot else remains in question.
