If you can get past all the cop quotes, there is a lot of important detail in here on the timeline of the last few months and how much violence the feds have inflicted on people. Infuriating and despair-inducing.
Trump's Chicago deportation blitz has hinged on aggressive and forceful policing tactics: Shootings, takedowns, chokeholds, car chases, chemical munitions, etc.
To get a better sense of the scope and the impact, we mapped incidents, spoke to those affected and analyzed policy.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

After another legal L in Chicago, Bovino vows to defy the judge and keep doing what his agents have been doing - only on a far larger scale
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation.
Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Bovino left LA to come to Chicago and it's not like LA saw immigration operations stop - just less showboating from his crew. So even if these circulating rumors over the last week turn out real, I'm pessimistic about how much change to expect on the ground.

Read my mind. Submitted a FOIA today for all Bovino’s body worn camera footage beginning on 10/31 through the date they process the request - which I’m sure will be sometime around the year 2057.
Now that Greg Bovino is wearing his court-ordered body cam, he's wide open to FOIA requests, so have fun with that.

Oh fun, it's an interview with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne, the artists behind the long long-running, extremely NSFW & hilarious comic Oglaf.
They rarely ever do public talks, so this is rare.
I always like recommending Oglaf, but it's a bit difficult since it's NSFW. But it's so original & funny.
