thx for this context. i was there and my naive ass interpreted her comments less as actually wanting to collab with the feds and more to highlight how unreasonable they're being by using 'reasonable' rhetoric herself. but if she actually meant she thinks there's a possibility of a collab--yikes

i wonder how much it costs to rent all the equipment and pay all the cops to do this. this can't be cheaper than getting people housing.

also, just wanted to let you know that the albany park mutual aid chat really appreciates your reporting <3

We've heard a lot of gossip about residents + tenants complaining to management—not about protesters, but about the ICE activity that brought them.

If it's true the feds have been cut off, that means Chicagoans have shut off a pipeline that was easily providing a dozen or more detainees a day.
