The Five Corners in Wicket Park, folks, you know it was once the envy of the world, they used to call it “the Crotch,” but now the Crotch has been left to rot by CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS. Nasty Liz Phair, she recorded an album there and it was not very nice. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.
Department of Homeland Security agents were shot at during an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago Saturday, the agency said — as federal agents were also accused of using pepper spray and flash-bang grenades against protesters across the Chicago area.

of course they’re making it look like a departure - there’s a judge visiting broadview on thursday. and even if bovino & border patrol are permanently transferred, ICE will still be here & broadview will still be open. i also want this all to end but i’m not hopeful that this will bring full relief.

Went to see Belly tonight (the 90s band not the Hype Williams movie or the rapper). I like when a show ends by 10 because the band’s fans are old and need to go home to bed. I guess you could say that… Now They’ll Sleep.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

The Sun-Times is the better of the two Chicago dailies, but this headline and post still state as fact that things took place which we do not have evidence for other than the claims of federal agents and Chicago cops, two groups with a track record of deceit.
Several people were arrested, including a man with a gun, after shots were fired, bricks were hurled and at least one car crashed into a cop Saturday during a standoff between residents and federal agents conducting immigration enforcement operations Saturday in Little Village.

the scope of the feds’ invasion cannot be overstated. this isn’t limited to chicago or even cook county.
Understand that he's talking about distances of ~50 miles apart here.
feds have also been seen at or abducted people from bensenville, blue island, glendale heights, and mount prospect.

Yes, this is correct. It's random grabs off the street. Landscaping crews, day laborers standing outside Home Depot. As far as how they decide where to go, that's a good question. If anything, it seems like they purposefully hit places far apart from one day to the next to keep people off-balance.

They literally drive around my neighborhood and stop anyone who is brown. I've followed them and this is what they do by me. They chased two elderly Chinese women down the block last week.

I feel like I haven’t seen an analysis of how ICE is finding people to abduct- what surveillance methods are they using? Not only are these suburbs far apart from each other, they aren’t all places with high immigrant populations. How does ICE decide to hit Waukegan one day and Blue Island the next?

This is how I learned that the person formerly known as Rage on Barbelith - and once a harmless if credulous fool - is a right-wing grifter now.
