State, Local Police Stand Side-By-Side With Feds, Run Crowd Control At Broadview Protest
Another protester directly screamed into the faces of the Illinois State Police troopers, “you’re helping the fascists! You’re directly helping them!”
bluecollarjazz.org
ARTICLE: What I witnessed at the Broadview 10/3 protest was state/local police de facto assisting feds by running crowd control for/alongside them. The decision by this “Unified Command” to insert themselves into a weeks-long protest clearly added another layer of difficulty for demonstrators. (1/5)

Lawsuit Alleges 'Horrific And Inhumane' Conditions At Broadview ICE Facility
The federal lawsuit says detained people are being denied water, food, medical care and hygiene: "They treated us like animals, or worse than animals, because no one treats their pets like that."

Border Patrol Chief Bovino exited the federal courthouse in Chicago today, facing questions over his use of tear gas in communities despite a federal ban without justification. Before leaving, he stood in the truck doorway, fist-pumped, and then placed a CS grenade on the dashboard.

The counter-pros fail on two levels:
1) The majority of the school does not appear to want a TP chapter.
2) TP chapters inherently support the dominant forms of power in this country, so they can’t even claim they’re an oppressed minority like a gay club in a conservative town.

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

“We keep us safe” ain’t just a slogan. Community self-defense can be walking with whistles.
There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.
People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started.
With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

TACTICAL ANALYSIS: A thrown water bottle is a slightly lower threat than a gas canister shot from a grenade launcher. Some experts say it's a significantly less threat. Others argue you'd be a fucking coward to shoot that at people in sandals and shorts while fully encased in tactical gear.
CPD moved through the feds to form another barrier between protestors and feds. Enrages the crowd. Water bottle thrown. A second later, feds deploy gas, even on un-equipped CPD. People scatter, including CPD.

Violence in Chicago has exponentially ramped up because of DHS, DHS, DHS.

It is insane how she keeps describing Chicago as a "war zone", when the only warlike things happening here are all DHS operations

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Please note that the things Mills is most mad about—false calls, and his officers being exposed to chemical weapons—have nothing to do with the feds attacking protesters. He's perfectly happy to have ISP do that instead so long as his guys are unbothered.
Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls. He has demanded ICE turn over the names of all federal officers involved in each incident, and said he is ready to take ICE to court.

Here’s a crowd chanting “pedophile lover” (in reference to Trump) at Gregory Bovino while he was trying to stoically pose for the cameras on the driveway of the Broadview ICE facility on 9/19/25.

Yes, arresting a journalist for doing their job is a big flashing red light. But I don't want people to forget the whole reason everyone is out there.
This is what I saw inside:
Four holding rooms. Two smaller rooms were being used for holding protesters. Two larger rooms held ICE/CBP captives.

Yesterday, while observing/photographing the violence from federal agents against non-violent protestors at the Broadview ICE facility, I was caught in a tear gas cloud. Goggles/N95 weren’t enough. Eyes teared up. Goggles fogged up. Sun and wind worked against me. I was blind. (1/3)

For the people getting in Black women's faces on here about the very valid reasons why you NEVER RSVP to protests, see below and shut up forever about this.

Even after feds killed a man a few towns away today, a small group remain to finish their 7am-7pm protest.
SRT takes the dwindling numbers as an opportunity to unleash less lethals on a protester with a mobility aid sitting on the ground.
