OK. I admit this was a carelessly brief post — sent on my way into therapy — but let me explain both my intent and where I went astray.

My intent was that DOGE — as it was presented to the American people, being about "government efficiency" — was a failure for those reasons stated above.

At some point, someone is going to inevitably leak ICE's entire employee roster.

the crowd outside the ice facility in broadview, illinois, has been thinning out over the last hour. there are maybe a few dozen folks still holding strong.

there are probably close to as many photographers/reporters.

we’re headed out for now. thanks for following along.

at least twice now, this federal agent has come out of the broadview ice facility with his sidearm drawn.

last friday, an ice agent shot and killed a man during a traffic stop nearby in franklin park, illinois.

tear gas and more pepper balls deployed outside the broadview ice facility. agents detained two more people.

protesters were blocking the driveway so agents, including border patrol’s bortac team, violently pushed protesters and allowed one vehicle to leave and another to enter.

federal agents are getting increasingly violent as the morning goes on and the crowd of protesters outside the broadview ice facility grows.

i’ve seen multiple people pushed and thrown to the ground.

dhs is now playing a dispersal order warning of arrests and the use of chemical munitions.

an agent on the roof of the broadview ice facility is filming the crowd of protesters below with a dslr.

a protester joking asked, “does it shoot 4k?” and the agent nodded his head yes.

looks like some border patrol agents have joined up ice’s chicago field office special response team to rough up protesters outside the broadview ice facility.
