Federal agents raided the WRONG HOME in Portland—no warrant, guns drawn on a family with a baby. ICE still arrested 2 people after realizing the mistake. ICE official on the aggressive tactics: "If people interpret that as aggressive, so be it."

Protesters are reporting today that state troopers at Broadview were exceptionally violent last night, lots of baton strikes including at heads and faces. Everyone arrested has been released.
Chaos. ISP just made a charge, pushing people back east toward 25th Ave., right into cars pulling out of the parking lot. I hear people talking about arrests but it's too dark to see. People panic, run.

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.

It's really simple. Take one step to show you stand with the vulnerable against fascism. Just one step. Mask in public. You can't manage that? Take one step to walk your talk.
I know who's going to stand up and fight against wave of fascism & who is going to accept it as the new normal.
When I go out into public I see those who still fight, wearing their N95s & KN95s as they care for their communities.
I see the masses of folks who sacrificed our lives to their comfort.
