What an unconstitutional clusterf*ck
Good morning from Judge Jeffrey Cumming's courtroom, where he's considering a motion to release 100s of "Midway Blitz" arrestees on EM who were subjected to "warrantless" arrest.
ICE and CBP recently produced a list of 3,300 people arrested since June

Since ICE & Border Patrol cant' handle a Chicago winter, I think they need a new name. "HANS" since he was the villain in Frozen and they clearly can't handle the cold? Now we just need to figure out what HANS stands for.

“Hunted.” This is the right co-opting language again. ICE and other federal agents are literally tracking and abducting human beings without warrants, but people who tried to hijack a national election are the real victims.
Ed Martin: "What this pardon does is help rescue the people who were hunted. The Biden administration hunted the alternate electors who were participating in our constitutional process in 2020 ... they were Trump supporters who believed in the Constitution."

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.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Lawyers play a video that was played for Bovino. In it, he tells agents "everybody fucking gets it if they touch you."
"This is OUR fucking city," Bovino tells them.

Is there a hologram at a Holocaust museum that will help us, comfort us, guide us, on the unrelenting 🧊 sightings that start as soon as we wake up? Like to know how the resistance persevered back then? For reals. This isn't a new moment in history, but is for us.
