People who did not grow up here will never understand the tears that just erupted seeing TOM SKILLING's name on this
"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."
Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

Good morning from the "free speech zone" in front of the ICE facility in Broadview, IL. A federal judge and a team of attorneys are set to visit the facility this morning, per a class action lawsuit alleging poor conditions and inhumane conditions inside.

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:
A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.
“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

On second review, this looks to be just smoke grenades / flashbang. Bovino has been carrying around a CS gas canister in his hand though, so not ruling out that gas was deployed elsewhere this morning—it's been incredibly chaotic, with agents attacking people in multiple locations.
Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

This—agents driving around in circles and provoking the community—has gone on for hours at this point with no discernible goal other than to inflict terror.
They also just fired pepper balls at someone.

Outside the Broadview detention center, ISP + Broadview PD are still blocking Harvard + 25th. It's officially after curfew.
One organizer is urging some remaining protesters to leave (they are mostly ignoring the plea). It's truly mostly press here now, including a number of far right/chud media.

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.
CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.
We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

At the Broadview ICE detention center outside Chicago this afternoon, things are (relatively) calm.
A vet-organized protest is planned for 4-6pm. After 6, curfew is in place.
Masked agents enter the building. ~1 month ago we would've been able to photograph them from Beach St, but not anymore.

"I cannot begin to tell you how difficult and unnerving it is to have been in Chicago these past few weeks; to exist indefinitely in the contradictory space between knowing and living."
Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.
The Case for the Forever Shutdown
Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

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.
