This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
The worst chief justice of all time
Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

Chicago #NoKings march in Chicago photo thread. It was definitely bigger than the April #HandsOff march, and thus much slower walking. Different route, this one ended across the Chicago River from Trump Tower. #NoKingsChicago #NoKingsDay #NoKingsProtest

Chicago police department accompany protesters -not escalating protests - yesterday and the day before as Americans chant, “No walls, no registry, no white supremacy.”

Thank you Chicago.

BTW: MAGA are always talking shit about Chicago. They are wrong about everything.👇

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom denounced President Trump for inflaming the situation in Los Angeles by sending federal forces and warned the public to “not give in to him.”

“California may be first, but it clearly will not end here,” he said. wapo.st/4kugTjo

People need to see what’s happening.

ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless.

Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

If you're in the Chicago area and you're still hesitant on protesting, comment here.

I will meet up with you and show you the ropes.

No more fear. They thrive on our fear. Without that, they are powerless.

Show up. Join us. Walk a couple blocks.

Do your patriotic duty to end this madness.

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com.

(This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

The Anti-ICE protests are spreading.

There are now large protests sprouting up in New York City. This isn’t just happening in Los Angeles anymore.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”—
Fuck you. Fuck you very much.

You’re heartless.

Anyone have links to grassroots orgs in the Chicago area who are assisting in rapid response teams for family’s effected by ICE snatch & grab raids. Looking to get more involved on the ground. Time to leave the keyboard and take action.

This is what it looks like when an arm of the federal gov’t, due to a failure to uphold due process & principles of justice, becomes illegitimate.

I don’t think our elected leaders get that. They’re lecturing people to stay off the highway when ICE is beating the shit out of anyone they want to…
Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth
