bluesky is being weird bc i broke my thread.

it continues here:
a faith leader speaking to the crowd points out that masked federal agents kidnapped people as they were mowing lawns, dropping their kids off at school, seeking medical care, and attending court.

the crowd chants, “shame!”

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

faith leaders and demonstrators tried to take beach street, which has been shut down to car traffic for weeks.

immediately, cook county sheriff’s police, state police, and broadview pd moved in to aggressively tackle clergy, drag protesters across the ground and arrest at least 3-4 people.

faith leaders are starting today’s program outside the broadview ice detention center with song.

the crowd sings, “a world without cages is at the tips of our fingers and the palms of our hands.”

hello from outside the ice detention center in broadview, illinois.

there’s a decent crowd of protesters already here and more folks trickling in.

leaders across faith traditions have organized this morning’s demonstration to demand ice to stop kidnapping community members.
