Threw dirt on the casket
the hurt I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions
struggle I hadnt mastered
I choreograph 7 steps to Heaven
In Hell
waitin to exhale & make the bread leaven
Veteran of a cold war
it's Chica-I-go for
What I know or whats known
So some days I take the bus home
just to touch home
the hurt I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions
struggle I hadnt mastered
I choreograph 7 steps to Heaven
In Hell
waitin to exhale & make the bread leaven
Veteran of a cold war

From the CVS lot. Moment of silence. Now. Only the sounds of kids off in the play area and the creaky suspension off a passing car.

Maybe 350-400 now. Big crowd. People still arriving. Area around the platform surrounded and crowds in each direction. Group holding "Hands Off Chicago" signs on the raised bed west of. Car honking passing by gets applause from the crowd.

Here, hand-written tags, one right shoulder strap, one left shoulder strap. (Bovino's body-worn camera is affixed in a place unlikely to capture interactions with the public unless someone is standing right in front of him. The others have placements more common to what officers normally wear.)

The uniform tagging wasn't consistent. Saw tag placement on both shoulders and different places on the bodies, and in some cases, written in black ink on white paper and taped to the strap of a vest cover. (This SUV was Bovino's; you can see the white tag on this agent's left shoulder.)

Here's "processing" as it were. In the parking lot west of Caldwell south of Jarvis. At the end, the agent in the tattered flag gaiter told a photographer they were done for the day. The prisoner van had a straw hat and neon vest on the dash. One agent said they were heading to Broadview.

Here's the second half of CBP walking him away. But the protesting continued as they were present and as they left. Whistles were at the end. I got the sense CBP didn't want to linger. Saw from BORSTAR and BORTAC here.

Here's a video from when this began. Was trying to record in front / watch in back. Moved off this when someone protesting made reference to owning a gun. They didn't take anyone protesting here but CBP made a show of putting cameras on people / press IDs.

The CBP helicopter was circling the convoy. Their chief was on scene but not in the mix. No resistance from the people they stopped. Longer on scene the more neighbors came out.

Moving in convoy + permitting a media tail and I couldn't discern a cause for this stop other than people were out front working. I didn't see anyone obviously from ICE but will check video again in a bit. 7400 N Oconto. After a couple minutes whistles (in Edison Park.)

Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home in Edison Park this afternoon then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van. Woman came out to MF them and said "you're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."

Here's video of the crash. Top of frame the white SUV makes contact with back of the red SUV which spins into a parked car and a foot chase follows. Crowd gathers after. 105/N. #chicago (via kwisstin on IG.)

105/N. Feds rammed a car that crashed into another, then a foot chase. Neighbors protested. Gas deployed by feds earlier today. Here's what they left behind. A thread of photos. #chicago
